Rome II All DLCs DEI. 25 mods .Win10. I wanted to run 40 unit size, I had a few errors with the saveparser. Fixed- it was a ME problem as always.
I had an old redundant Rome II folder on a different connected drive so I couldn't choose Rome II in the game selection list. Deleted.
Next my ini file for saveparser pointed to the correct drive, but had an additional folder called games, so the parser crashed. Fixed ini path to be correct for me.
Opened my game save, which is hidden by default as you said. in C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\save_games.
I changed to 40 units, saved, tried the game it had reset to 20! Then I watched A total hardcore player on youtube again... I had forgotten to set Army size to max haha , saved it again, tried in game all great so thank you very much. Have a fantastic day- I'm off to run 40 units.

Hello friend, does this work for Rome Remastered?

Is there any way to convert a Total War WH2 solo save into a multiplayer save? I want my friend to take up one of the factions in my solo campaign.

I get the Unhandled exception error when I try to run SaveParser, anyone knows how to fix this?

new 40 units mod for campaign!:

I still prefer playing WH2 over WH3 because of this tool. 😅
(Especially because of the character traits changing randomly with to the way the Path to Glory feature works and CA likely is never gonna fix that as they don't even view it as a bug.)

Hello again kind Sir! I still hope that our beautiful community will get the new version of your masterpiece for the Immortal Empires!

fix = open the SaveParser.ini, and replace the path

for rome 2, i replaced
E:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II
with
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II

close and save

No news with the latest patch?

nope, 20 unit limit

Hello! Any updates regarding saveparser ?

Any updates of late?

@Pseudomonarchiadaiymo Hopefully time will fix this. CA has a pretty cool track record for delivering on things like this for modders, so i'm hoping something like that happens here again lol

@Goose yea they moved it or changed the way it’s implemented, it’s still in the game otherwise you wouldn’t be able to change the option for 40 units in custom battles, the issue is for save parser to access it would require Ronin to completely remake saveparser, and for CA to actually give modders the ability to change it

@compassionrabbit I kind of doubt it's completely gone. Something has to tell the game armies can only have a 21 unit limit, it's most likely just somewhere else and no one wants to look for it lol

Hey @RoninX, any news on progress? Sounded like in the chat you were ready to work on it again. Hope things are better for you and fam

Should I give up on more than 20 unit cards now?

I think this will be never editable again, thnx to CA

@Horizon Nope. Not even the Chaos Dwarfs can create an army of 21 units.

Any news?

@compasionrabbit Thank you for letting me know.

@[KOR] 안녕 i already tested a new save game and still the same with ESF editor

It's been patched today, can you check if ca allowed 40 units?

40-units: yes, CA needs to "activate" the flag again, then its a piece of cake to modify it for me.

@Ronin what do you need from us as support to make WH3 on SP? And i'm sorry, i'm kind of dumb with these things, in layman terms, are you saying you can't make 40 unit armies at all anymore unless CA puts back that option or can you fix it, it'll just be a huge task?

@compassionrabbit that's a major bummer... I was trying to do something similar, but couldn't find a way to contact CA directly.

@Goose i alredy did it several times and i even sent this petition directly to CA but no response, we are a kind of niche audience as you said

But generally if the 40-flag is enabled by CA again, i can easily implement a procedure for editing that value in matter of 1 or 2 hours.

WH3 SP: the main problem is that the delevopment of PFM is not being continued. I use its master.xml to read datatype and field names of the games' savegames. I know about the existence of RPFM and their structure file. .. ahh I wrote about that in my announcement "W3, Troy, 3K". If I get support from you all to extend the PFM master.xml we can talk about WH3ing SP.

@RoninX, if you can't change th 40 unit army in editsf, when you make a new version of SP for WH3, would you be able to fix it so you can edit 40 unit armies? Or was that option being gone in editsf pretty much a done deal for 40 unit armies entirely beyond vanilla restrictions?

We really need to go on the Total War reddit and upvote to get 40 unit armies officially or at least give us that option back to mod it ourselves.

CA does check reddit out for suggestions, bugs, etc.. it's worth a shot. I'll make the post if people on here can show some interest. We need a lot of people to up vote it to grab attention, which is hard since we're kind of a niche audience lol

we need CA short of help for this

I almost want to uninstall WH3 after reading that

ah alright, figured as much, but i still got a little excited

@JoeayIV : some people asked about bigger amry size in WH3, which does not seem to work.

any news about WH3? I saw some people mentioning it but i assume that was a typo or phrased strangely so i thought i'd ask just in case i missed something.

Moment of silence for 40 unit armies and thank you Ronin

Thanks a lot for your effort Ronin

Oh...I see
Thank you for your kind answer. Ronin!

@Pz.506
i checked the locations of the savegame where the army/navy values are stored other TW series games, where changing their values having the result of the army size. but in wh3 the value is 65K(!). So I suppose this value is obsolete...
Since startpos is kinda savegame type, I am quite sure. Its no good.

That makes me very sad...that means no more 40 units in total war series??
Not even possible with tweak startpos.esf?

Sorry guys, no possibility to change army size in savegame file.

Any news about 40 units army in TWWH3??

If you do find a way to edit the unit count to 40 using editsf (it’s working now btw) let me know for warhammer 3

done, thanks a lot for your time

put it in a chat message, i will have a look today or at least tomorrow

ahh steam dont let me to put a link to mediafire, how cain i give to you RoninX?

I've been searching for this method in few months...40 units in W3. I hope you Ronin can find answer. Also, thank you for spend your time to inspect this!!

@compasionrabbit: provide me a sasvegame file then i check
