How to remove the green bit at the bottom of units...

[Andy B]

Alrighty chaps,

I wanna make some mad battle screen shots but it look's shoddy with the green bits at the bottom...

I've used the search function but it only brought up tottaly irrelavant threads...

can anyone tell me how to do it, the easy way

and one other thing when does the new world event happen? / what year

cheers,

Hello Andy,
Do you mean the ugly green arrow markers that appear under units when you click on them? If so, the same technique applies to Rome as to Medieval.
Go into our Medieval folder, find yor 'preferences' file and open it up, it shouldn't be too long a file. find the line that says 'disable arrow markers' or words to that effect and change 'false' to 'true'. There's also a lot of other interesting stuff you can tweak in the preferences file, including grass distance and disabling unit banners (can't do this for medieval, though).
Good luck.
Arrrgh!

Can't remove the banners in Med, via the preferences file, anyway. I like the Med banners too, but wish they'd phase out when you zoom in, like in Rome.

i've never played rome... but i know what you mean it would look allot better.

+ whats quite annying say when you want a really good screen shot and a shoddy banner pole is sticking down the middle on your unit's head / w/e

edit: I've got it working, couldnt find the file at first, it showed, disable arrows... = 0 so i changed it to 1 and its sorted, + i changed the grass draw distance, makes it look abit better - cheers again mate.

how do you even open the preferences.cfg file...my comp just gives me the "windows doesn't know what program created this file" message, and web help is useless

EDIT: nevermind, figured it out
