Hi,
I think this feature has been added to EE2 Realistic Mod:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/realistic-earth

I'm not sure how to resize units, but you can download this mod, open with WinRar and see what files have been changed. Then you'll easily find what to edit.

I have never done it before, but RGV1 has created an "Instructions on how to add a new 3D model in Empire Earth 2":

And how about this? how would I go about increasing population size from 2,000 to 20,000? so it splits to 2,000 per player in 10 matches.

The maximum population for each player is 1000 (999 actually), and I have no idea how to change it.
Some information how to set maximum population:
(check Chapter 2, point 8 )
http://forum.ee2.eu/t1637-development-diary-ee2-ee2x-unofficial-patch-14
But as I said:
http://forum.ee2.eu/t1636-ee2-ee2x-empire-earth-ii-unofficial-patch-14-2013
The game has new maximum population options available in game: 2600, 3000, 3400, 3800, 4000, 10000. The maximum possible population for every player is 999. Even if you select the last option (10000 of population), the maximum for each one of you will remain 999 no matter how many players you are in the game.
For now I don't know how to change max pop for player from 999 to 2000.

Okay, and how about allowing Nuclear weapons to have a higher blast radius? seems kinda silly and stupid how they can only destroy a single structure(or an army that lines up inand "forms" a structure)

Download Unofficial Patch 1.4 Update 2.0, and check files in: EE2X_db_140.zip, I changed some nuclear weapon settings, you will easly find what has been edited Image

any way I can get it without updating? the music in the menu annoys me to no end(heard it on a friends pc) and not much really seems to be worth it... I would have installed Empire Earth 4 mod, but it didn't seem worth the hassle...

Download UP1.4 Update 2.0 again, and select the second installation option:
Image
It will install Unofficial Patch 1.4 with disabled Music Player.
Also tell to your friend, that it's very easy to disable EE2Amp by clicking ctrl+alt+shift+f12 (more details in 1.4 download topic).

You don't have to install Unofficial Patch 1.4 to your game directory. Simply: change installation directory to: C:/1.4 test (or something like this), and it won't overwrite your game files.

For now EE4 mod has unofficial patch 1.3, not 1.4. There is MUCH more changes in patch 1.4.

So just install patch 1.4 to the random folder. It will be easier for you to find what files have been edited.
