Does changing that flag life the limit on your troops too?  Or just on enemy armies consisting of multiple stacks?

I don't even know the answer to this one.
What i do know is : Using more than one stack as player is suicidal. You can only control 20 units. 21st and all the following are controlled by the retarded AI, which leads to crushing defeats and countless casualties.

Thus multiple stacks are fun, but only if you face them.
The biggest battle i've had was 1v4 (i think) stacks. Greece.

Isn't there a mod or something that quadruples the amount of units the A.I. gets/trains? Stworca needs to be challenged :(

This is not part of the vanilla HoI2, but from the DAIM mod. Speaking of which.. I should install HoI2  :o

Can't you just click the check box next to the image of the computer with a gear on it to turn off AI control of allied armies?

It's a hard-coded UI limitation. You can only see 20 unit portraits at once, thus you can only control 20. The checkbox matters only for <21 units. As in : 2 armies of 10 units, 3 of 6 and so on.

I recall controlling more units, and just having extra arrows to  view the >20 portraits, but it may have been a mod, or some patch... No idea.

You could always limit your total army size to 30 squads for the entire empire.

For some reason this thread as inspired me to draw. Don't ask me why, I just did.


If you're wondering why they're so big, it's because I still have to fiddle with the settings on my scanner. Meh.

I'm pretty sure that having a character with balls so big that he can sit on them would not work well for a children's book. But what do I know? Merely that I know my enemies!
How did the quality turn out? I still need to fiddle with the settings a bit more.
