Things are very seldom what they seem. In my experience, they’re usually a damn sight worse.

Hader's Pref.txt Quick Walkthrough
Hader’s quick guide to preferences.txt
Lets just say I was inspired by an idiot who hates Rome because of green triangles….something related to preferences .txt.
From top to bottom, some important preferences. Important ones that are often asked about are in blue.
SUBTITLES:FALSE
Change this to TRUE to automatically have subtitles enabled when you start RTW. Can also be done through Options ingame.
FOG_OF_WAR:TRUE
Toggles Fog Of War. Also done with the toggle_fow cheat ingame
EVENT_CUTSCENES:TRUE
These cutscenes are the ones you see when a general dies, you capture a wall, etc. Change to false to turn those off.
AUTO_SAVE:TRUE
Turns the autosave feature on or off.
SHOW_BANNERS:TRUE
These are the banners that appear above your units in battle. If you don’t like these, or need them out for a video, change this to false.
DISABLE_BACKGROUND_FMV:FALSE
Change this to false if you want a nice staticy background instead of that crappy movie in the background.
DISABLE_ARROW_MARKERS:FALSE
Change this to false to disable the green arrow markers (AKA STUPID LITTLE GREEN TRIANGLES) that appear under each man in a unit in battle.
TGA_CAPTURE_WIDTH:1024
Changes the size of screenshots you take ingame. 1024 is default, and best.
LABEL_CHARACTERS:FALSE
LABEL_SETTLEMENTS:TRUE
On the campaign map there are labels under cities and characters in an army. True will make these labels always appear, false will only make them visible when moused over,.
FIRST_TIME_PLAY:FALSE
If you do not want to play the prologue to get the Imperial campaign, change this to False.
MUTE_ADVISOR:FALSE
Pretty self-explanitory
EDIT_SETTLEMENT_NAMES:FALSE
I just noticed this at the bottom of the text. I think it will allow to edit city names ingame juist Like in BI. yay!
