Help! They'll just flee!

[Billux]

Hi,

How can I mod the game or the mods I'm playing so that the battles would last longer.

AI troops will flee too easily. It's a real buzzkill. Sometimes you can see a thousand of AI troops fleeing and then you go again with cavalry to to capture the helpless enemy and you will win loosing 50 or so spearmen while the AI suffers 600 killed and 1200 captured. It's just too simple to scare off the enemy.

I'm new modding this game. Can anyone point which files and lines I need change? Also another problem I think is that missile weapons are too powerful, which could be helped by lessening their range. Most of the mods I've played have increased range, so there's another feature I'd like to tone down.

Any help will be appreciated & Big Thanks in advance,
Billux

Range can be set in export_descr_unit. The morale issue could have several possibilities but most of those involves granting the AI bonuses in the campaign script I believe. Scripting is not my forte.

Morale can also be set in export_descr_unit.txt.

Morale can also be set in export_descr_unit.txt.

The problem with changing morale is that YOUR units will ALSO have greater morale. Relatively nothing will change--the enemy won't be any mentally tougher than your men. However if you want to have battles that last a LONG time, I recommend Ryoken's KISS mod.

To get units rout less, you'll have to change the morale on each units, in export_descr_unit.
Ctrl+F and type "stat_mental"
change the number on each unit depending on how tough you want them to be(14 is very tough).
