Unit speeds
OK new post. Whoo hoo. Anyways I've been trying to find a way to get infantry to march and run at a more realistic pace. To me it seems they can cover a distance of approx. 2kms within 4 minutes, which of course is absurd. Which file do I need to access in order to fiddle with unit speeds?
(I think I heard somewhere that RTR infantry units moved at a more realistic pace, but I don't know if this is true. might just be a hardcoded thing i dunno). Thanks.

Re: Unit speeds
descr_battle_map_movement_modifiers.txt iss the file you want to be modifying.
If you want to individually change a specific unit's speed you'll have to assign it a slower skeleton in descr_model_battle.txt.
Of course always make a back-up of the files you want to change first.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I've been searching for half an hour and having no luck.
Say a unit has two skeletons, missile and sword. Which one controls the unit's default movement speed? (Or is it both?)

Re: Unit speeds
Depends on which one is 'active' at the time.

Re: Unit speeds
I see. If a unit is just running around, is there one that's usually active, or does it start with the missile skeleton and then just leave active whichever one was used last?

Re: Unit speeds
Units run around in their primary skeleton I think, unless they are missile units and they have no ammo left.

Re: Unit speeds
It is primary skeleton,but for increased speed,if secondary weapon is faster I use 'alt' to switch weapons to chase after enemy,as sometimes skeletons are not same speed matched.

Re: Unit speeds
I see. Thank you.
I've been trying to keep skeletons speed-matched, but, if I can't, then I want the primary to reflect the speed I want.

Re: Unit speeds
I try all same speed skeletons,but not always available,I had to use a unified skeleton pack-RG/EB and Sig1. My armour types are now determinant for speed,so my poor peltast etc,can run away from heavy armoured enemy better. I work on Fast:0-5/SemiFast 6-10/Normal 11-15/Slow 16-20 armour rating(includes shields). Cataphracts are 18 and I think Legionary Cohorts in vanilla,not sure..,but have to work some balance for armour to speed ratio?
