i want to give oranje and transval big starting armies


i felt that fighting oranje and the transval as the british was not satisfying and as lengthy as it was said to be.

You edit its order-of-battle file in history\units\ABC_oob.txt

(btw, this is a modding question so belongs in the modding forum

Also, won't giving them huge armies just make them bankrupt themselves? It'll also make them very brittle, since they won't have the manpower to back it up.

You can't make a country with a hundred and forty thousand POPs and a single state powerful. End of story.

(Incidentally, the sanest way to interpret the Second Boer War in Vicky 2 terms is probably a year or so of actual war, followed by sky-high militancy in the Boer provinces for another two years.)

You would basically have to give Transvaal a much higher population.
