R.E.D. mod: can I edit visible soldiers amount inside units?

Hello everyone, I want to start playing Civ 5 with the Vox Populi mod again and this time I'd like to add R.E.D. which is a mod that increases unit variety (only aesthetically). However both these mods together can be heavy for the technical side of the game… in particular for the different models of the units provided by R.E.D. I'm writing this because I was wondering if there's a way to decrease the number of visible soldiers inside units, because that's one of the things that makes R.E.D. heavy, but I'm not able to find any customization options. Can this be made somehow? Also, there's an alternative mod which is "Ethnic Units", but it has the same issue.

Thank you for reading!

Could Vox Populi work with this mod?

Hello everyone, in the past I already played the Vox Populi mod and I liked it a lot. However I got bored fast when I started to see the same units on the map (aesthetically speaking), which is a Civ 5 issue anyway, not Vox Populi's fault. So I searched for a mod that could make them a bit different: in the end I find a mod called "Ethnic Units" on Steam, which should be compatible with VP and makes the units look different depending on the chosen civilization... however I read that these two mods together could be too heavy for Civ 5 (since the game can use up to 4GB of ram). So, my question is: has anyone tried this combination of mods yet? Are them stable/unstable? And if so, which settings you used?

Also, if I use Ethnic Units with the Community Patch instead of Vox Populi, could this combination be lighter?

Thank you for your help!

Could I have a malware?

Hello everyone, I just discovered that my mother accidentally entered inside a malicious site called kitchen-canvas, which is flagged as a malware with lots of detections on Virustotal (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/04825fdbb3ffd9c67a7929585941863e49d07f4ec4b87629a3e5523264297a34). I decided to scan the PC with Bitdefender, Malwarebytes and Windows Defender, but they didn't detect anything. However I'm not sure if the PC is clean, and I'm also worried that a potential malware could also infect my PC since it's a thing that can happen when sharing the same internet connection.

Anyway, Bitdefender's real time protection has detected an executable with an odd URL made of characters and numbers (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/f9d6b973ca820129872642111abb9689a9aace0a1b8c43e99bb70b41b009479c), and also a "report" (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/68aeba95b94e30f61d16fa9fa6ce4d88cb42cfb1b2ab192c905db9d9d68b340c) and a "manifest.json" (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/93c3a0230161be6669e7999354a7a1cabf4ba704da6b5aaa6e185d948967d466) files. It seems that these three files are not into the PC, so I guess they weren't executed, although I don't know if that can be done without my consent.

Anyone know if there is something else I could do to check if these two PCs have a malware, aside from the scanning, which I already done? Thank you for your support!

Could my PC be infected?

Hello everyone, I'm creating this topic because I randomly discovered that my mother accidentally entered inside a site (kitchen-canvas.com) which is flagged as a malware (something like 10 detection in Virustotal). I scanned the PC with Bitdefender, Malwarebytes and Windows Defender, but they didn't detect anything. However, I'm not sure the PC is clean, and I'm also thinking if this potential malware could also infect my PC considering that certain malicious programs can infect devices under the same internet connection. In any case Bitdefender detected an executable (with real time protection, not by scan) with an odd URL made of characters and numbers (sorry, by the rules I can't specify) and also a "report" and "manifest.json files (these two from kitchen-canvas.com website instead). Anyone know if there is something I could do to check if there's actually a malware, aside from scanning? Thank you for your support!
