Trees to dense

[kizad]

I have the platinum rtr mod for bI, and i find that many of the battle maps in northern europe (like where the gauls are) have soooooo many trees which are soooo dense that i can't even see the battle, and it slows my computer down also. This makes these battles very unpleasant and try to avoid them on these maps at all costs. Any way i can fix this so that i can actuall see the battles?
Thanks

I guess Varus would have loved that too!

Lol... I can't stand battles like that, the trees can be very distracting

I dislike them too. But in another way I love them. It makes it much more realistic. The aerial view is already a bit of a 'cheater' way, seeing as generals back then couldnt randomly fly off into the air to look. The woods forces you to stay closer to the ground to see anything, which reflects the difference for many commanders in a woods battle vs a plains battle.

I think it takes away a lot of realism. Firstly you can't see the battle at all, so you can't control your forces. But the AI will play just like it could see everything. And then you have to zoom all the way in and move all around the map trying to find your army. And when you do you can see only like 5 out of 2000 men because you have to zoom in so far. Plus on top of that it slows down my computer so that it would make it hard to control the battle even if i could see it.
I'm just wondering if there is a way i can change the files or something to make the big trees have a different model or is there a mod for this.
THanks

Have you tried lowering your display settings or unit size down a bit? to see if that helps?

A good general will always choose his battleground.

p/s: you'll see a lot more forest in the next version of RTR..
