Mercenaries for Hire

[Ruprecht]

I would like to shorten the intervals at wich mercenaries can be hired from certain regions.

I can recall somebody saying that the hire rate for some/all mercs is 31 and 11 turns, so can anyone tell me what file i have to edit to shorten these hire rates ?

the file your looking for is descr_mercenaries.txt found in your data\world\map\campaign\imperial_campaign, you can adjust the rate for any region within that file.

Hey,

Just one further question, i changed the replenish values from 0.04 - 0.09 to 0.1 - 0.1 which i thought would be a faster replenish rate, but i don't think it's working.

If anyone knows the proper values to use so that they replenish each 5 turns or so that would be great, as testing this without knowing how the values work could take a while.


Cheers.


PS: i thought i would mention that i am editing the descr_mercenaries in this path : C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

Do i also need to edit the vanilla descr_mercenaries too ?

0.1 - 0.1 would replenish the units in 10 turns, try 0.2 for 5.

any changes made in your mod folder will be used instead of the vanilla data folder so you only need to change the values in the one file.

and just in case you don't know, you must start a new campaign for changes to take effect.

Say what ....

I thought it was actually working, but now you say that maybe it's not. surely this can be rectified by editing the campaign script and/or any other relevant files ?

Anything edited in the world folder requires new campaign or you get unpredictable results and that includes campaign_script.txt
