Just a little more

[emopig]

So guys , i tried many submodes ( europa barbarorum,spqr,realism etc... ) but rs2 came ahead historicly,gameplay,and graphicly.THE ONLY thing that makes this mod less awesome is the length of battles, at first i really enjoyed(compared to vanilla,obvious reasons) but while ur empire getting bigger battle counts goes up as well,I know u guys will say thats more realistic and other opinions that u like it in that way but seriously only this reason destroys all the fun mod gives. I searched all forum and found some topics at submod section but their files are corrupted or not matching versio 2.6 , all i ask for god sake if any of u have that file makes battles short like full stack army takes 20-30 minutes long

After my research i tried to edit by myself but there is millions of that export_descr_unit file , i cant understand which one i should edit or ask myself should i even edit those ???! im a big amateur about this but if u guys inform me well i will spend my time on as long as it takes ,just tell me what files SHOULD be EDITED-COPIED and WHERE to COPY those files, that would be very helpfull PLEASE dont judge me the way i like it also i saw A LOT of people who wants those battles take shorter

There are other version of the EDU's in the '_important_stuff\EDU changes' folder. Where there are 'Play_xxxx' folders, that EDU is specific to that campaign. Otherwise, the one in the 'data' folder can be used in any of the others.

Try the 'higher Lethality' first....units will die faster.

[emopig]

this ' lethality' is those numbers like 0.328 or 0.5 right ? at stat_pri and stat_sec lines , since there is nothing called 'higher lethality' i assume those numbers represents lethality, or at the line 'soldier'

[emopig]

Folders called fewer stacks,shorter battles, i see by saying 'higher lethality' u meant shorther battles but i want to know what really affects lethality and what 'fewer stack' means, is it soldier count in a band ?

[dvk901]

Now, 'fewer stacks' means few 'levy stacks' spawned by the script if the AI is being pressed. And yes, lethality is the last number in the stat_pri and stat_sec lines. Set it to '1' (highest it can be), and battles will be very short I'd imagine.

Whilst I have happily supported the 'most realistic and not trivial battles'.......

I would note that, with a great deal of battles under my belt and many, many of them a full stack on each side - it's not unreasonable that the majority of them are over within 30mins, and many less.

The only ones that seem to push the boundaries (ie I start to really look at the timer) are: ones where I have had to search amongst trees for the last enemy; tricky approach marches; and the odd city assault where it is reasonable that I should now lose after making a mistake to actually assault.

This mod does, more than any other game I have found, manages to balance the strategic to the tactical beautifully.

But yes - turn on the PC for 2hrs and you might well only get 2 turns done.
