about the limit of the recruitment

**romy** · March 23, 2008, 01:50 PM

hey , first of all you need to know that my english sucks, then I hope you can understand me

!It's hard to explain...

Since M2TW , there's a limit of the number of troops you can recruit.
In RTW there was no limit of recruitement , you can complet the line of recruitement to the maximum.But in m2tw , when you're in the window of recruitement , you look at an unit card of a troop and in the right top of the crard , there's a number : that's the limit numlber of the regiments of this unit that you can recruit.I want to change it to the topest number.Like that , I can recruit some troops , the best when I want , and I don't must wait the next turns to recruit an elite unit.But I don't know how to change it , in wich files I must change etc..

Can you explain me how to change it ?

Arf,sorry again for my english and I really hope you can understand it and HELP me..

I'm guessing you're referring to the maximum "pool" for units. That's set in the export_descr_buildings.txt file in BC's "data" folder.

Each unit you can recruit on the campaign has an entry like this:

recruit_pool "ere jav cav" 1 0.333 3 0 requires factions { byzantium, } and hidden_resource w_anatolia

The bolded value refers to the max size of the pool that unit can reach. You'll have to change every instance of those in order to up the unit pools.

ok thanks adn what are the other members?

PS:do you know someone who can send me the files changed because I'm changing the numbers since 30 min.

the first number is the number availible immediatly when the game starts or that building is completed.

the 0.333 number is how fast the units replinish there numbers in the unit pool. Raise it to 1.0 for the fastest replenish rate.

the third number you know is the maximum number that will ever be availible at any given time.

The fourth number is how much expeirence those units will have when you recruit them. 0 = no exp 1= 1 bronze stripe 2= 2 bronze stripes and so on. (You may call them chevrons)

Hope this helps. I would send you mine but Ive added so much to it that it would mess your game up. I would suggest playing the mod and then finding the little things you dont like and then edit them to better fit how you want the game to play out.

wow thanks mate for this help!

Can you send me your file anyway or no?

Thanks again!

I can and will but if you swap mine for yours its likely to crash to desktop. So I would just use mine for reference to see what you can do. I'll private message it here in a minute. Word of advice for any and all modding, backup all orginal files, it will save you time and heart ache.

Couldnt figure out how to attach it on the pm so here it is.

BC Team take it down if you like, I'm not trying to break any rules or anything, as I have much respect for you guy's work. I mean no offense.

EDIT: yeah any mistake you make will show up real quick. so make small changes and test it out to make sure it will work. that way you dont lose hours of work like I have mulitple times.

**romy** · March 23, 2008, 04:49 PM

wow m8 +rep for your help!

ps: don't know how +rep , lol.

**romy** · March 23, 2008, 04:55 PM

export_descr unit?!it's the wrong files I think

**~~Miraj~~** · March 23, 2008, 04:56 PM

Please try to keep file exchanges to PMs instead of posting here. We technically don't allow minimods, the rates are tailored in a specific way that the developers feel are best. However, discussing it or how to edit files in general is not a problem.

**Americanus Supremus** · March 23, 2008, 05:44 PM

Sorry Mirage I will remove it.

Romy, sorry mate. I will send the right one I'm a little hungover.

Born2dive67 can u say give me a break or how does this effect you. Keep your petty comments to yourself..... Thank you

HC

**born2dive67** · March 24, 2008, 08:49 AM

sorry dude, didnt realize it would upset you. besides it wasn't directed at you but just the idea of upping those rates for a certain faction unless its all faction then thats different. but again i wasn't directing anything at you

have a great day

**Americanus Supremus** · March 24, 2008, 06:23 PM

No problem, and I to apolagize. I sometimes have a hard time deciphering if a comment is rude or not. And should have not taken any offence. For that I apolagize. Have a good one.
