    Can somebody please answer my question?

    Default Re: The Stainless Steel Answer Station - ask all questions here

    I have a badass general that I have painstakingly raised through many battles that lasted a long time so his unit alone could destroy armies in the hundreds getting command stars and dread. He's at full command and close to full dread. Problem is now he's 72 and just got the trait "beyond battle".

    How do I remove the "beyond battle" trait
    Is it possible to make him..... younger? I am playing as the kwarezmian empire and he will be necessary for the mongol invasion.

    I'm trying to add the frighten_mounted to pike units and for some reason it isn't showing up in their unit cards or descriptions and doesn't seem to be working either. Did the mod somehow turn this "off?" for infantry units (it seems to work for camels).

    Default Re: The Stainless Steel Answer Station - ask all questions here

    To add something, when I add the "Frighten_foot" attribute then the unit correctly has "frighten nearby enemies" in its card and does as advertised. But adding just "frighten_mounted" does not work. First time I've ever encountered this since I've successfully added "frighten_mounted" to infantry units in other mods before.

    Check the battle_models_db file. It will tell you what animation the Musketeers use. Fire_by_rank has been removed, so maybe that's why they don't go to the back after they've shot.


    D:\SEGA\Medieval 2 Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\data -> export_descr_character_traits.txt

    Search for "beyond".

    Select the character when he's outside of town. Type this in the console -> remove_trait this TooOldToFight
    I forget if you need quotes around the trait name.
    Oh yeah, and delete the aging script. It's better for characters to age only six months a turn, that way you have them for longer. It won't work for your current campaign, but it will apply to future ones.


    "frighten_foot" in the EDU -> "Frightens nearby enemy infantry" on the description card
    "frighten_foot, frighten_mounted" in the EDU -> "Frightens nearby enemy" on the description card

    I don't remember ever seeing "Frightens nearby enemy cavalry" anywhere, and I can't remember what it says on camels.

    Then go into descr_strat.txt, which is in the same folder, and find the timescale. The value should be set to 1. Change it to 0.25.


    Thanks a lot - 50 turns and my faction heir is still in his late 30s


    Uhm, but i've got a new problem already :

    Every time I end the ~ 51 turn, I get a message "Medieval 2 total war encountered an unspecified error and will now exit" and the game crashes back to the deskop. As I never had this kind of error before, I'm not sure whether it's a problem with SS or the original game ...
    Anyway, is there an easy way to fix this or do I have to uninstall/install the whole game again?
    Ah, and I bought the game over Steam if that's important ...

    I just relaised that i want to play an early era campaign, but i want it to end at the same date as late campaign, do i just increase the end date in the appropriate file to the year needed or is there more stuff that needs to be changed?

    But k/t I'd recently looked in that folder to the section of the MTW2_Musket and all I found were textures and meshes.

    Default Re: The Stainless Steel Answer Station - ask all questions here

    Alright, i have another question: in the deafult file in ...\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3 i changed the lines

    #windowed=false
    #borderless_window=false

    to

    windowed=true
    borderless_window=true

    Now my game is not running in full screen, its just taking up about 2/3 of my screen, cant really play like that, but i would like to minimize the screen while AI is doing its turns.

    So there's no way to make him younger in my current game?
