How to edit stealthy level one to allow night battles?

[Valakov]

g'morning (or at least it is here)

How would one go about editing the skill tree of generals to enable night battles at level one "stealthy" instead of level 3?

As a secondary question, would it be possible to give a whole army "paths seldom trod" via a general's skill tree? Ideally at rank 3 of stealthy.

any and all help would be much obliged.

You can. You will need to convert the character_skill_level_to_effects_junctions table from patch6.pack to TSV and edit them in notepad or a spreadsheet editor like open office. There are tutorials on doing that step. You then simply duplicate the line with "enable nightbattles" to rank 1 and 2 - while ofcourse keeping the one in rank 3. This way no matter how many points is put in the skill the night battles will always be enabled.

I'm not sure about enabling paths seldom trod for the entire army though.
