Go to your mission luas for whichever era(s) you're using, and find this section:

--start teamstats
SetUnitCount(ATT, 80)
SetReinforcementCount(ATT, 500)
SetUnitCount(DEF, 80)
SetReinforcementCount(DEF, 500)
--end teamstats

Put in whatever number you want after ATT and DEF.

Of course ! You just need to munge all shipped *.LUA files present in SWBF Mod Tools in a brand new world. Next, after you compiled your world, copy your map's "mission.lvl" file over SWBF's main one...

I think to something : Maybe I could place a new world in the "Download Sections", to facilitate your life. Thus, you'd just need to modify all "mission.lua" files you want and to compile this world. After, you'll have to copy the "mission.lvl" file of this brand new world in this SWBF's sub-folder : "GameData\Data\_LVL_PC".

First, I need to perfect this "ready-to-munge" world before submitting the idea to our dear administrator...

Finally, I've decided to send this file to you via e-mail... (If you agree, of course !) Do not forget to give me your address using GameToast Private Messaging service...

Will20, If all you want to do is increase the ticket count ( the number of soldiers for each side ) then all you have to do is download the dedicated server software. It runs as a game host and allows you to change the ticket count without recompiling the shipped maps.

The solution I gave to him is a permanent one and allow any changes to shipped maps and not only reinforcement's number...
