Shortening pikes

Post by Odenathus »

This is probably childishly simple, but how do I go about shortening pike lengths on existing units? I want to be able to represent shorter pole weapons such as the English bill, glaives, partisans, etc, but the only units like this in the standard directory are the very small 500 strong halberdier and spearmen units. I'd like to get the same effect for 1,000 or even 2,000 strong units. Or, as an alternative, is it possible to make the small halberd unit larger to achieve the same effect? I can see that Jomini did it for some of his Japanese units in his mod, but I'm damned if I can see how.

Any suggestions appreciated

Cheers

No easy way. You need to do 3d modelling in Blender.

You will need the blender files. Drop me a line.
