Battle Speed/Movement,Difficulty and Income!

Hi!

I have a few questions which probably would be easy for some of you brilliant M2TW minds out there to answer for me.

In 5.1 there was a much slower gamespeed while in battle. I had my first battle just now in 6.0 and WOW they seem to be moving twice as fast. My spearmen and peasant archers run so quick. This i dont like. I liked the movement speed of 5.1 much better. Is there any way of changing this back to 5.1 settings cus having my inf. run almost as fast as cavalry is not fun.

Also compared to 5.1 how much more difficult is VH/H in 6.0? It seems to be much harder to even get trade agreements with factions.

And wow I am bankrupt after 10 turns as England in VH/H. I built loads of watch towers and a few buildings mainly ports ect. I did not build any troops on top of the ones i started with. Anyone enlighten me on how to help my economy in the beginning?

And KK. Brilliant work. I really love it so far. Runs smooth and map is just awesome.

For me battle movement in 6.0 is the same as 5.1...

Serious efforts were made to make trade/alliances harder to get, so cut down on some of the 'abuse' that goes on with the Ai. There are also some hidden penalties for those who go around gaining alliances with every faction, once they start having to break them.

More work needs to be done in this area, but delaying the release of SS6 further seemed wrong.

Converting from castles to cities seem to be more expensive, keep that in mind in the beginning when cash is tight. And perhaps disband a few extra levies you wouldn't need?

I agree on the diplomacy and income, but I think they are improved. It was too easy in 5.1... more realistic now.

Totally agree about the infantry speed. I am getting really pissed that the Oped spearmen can out run my horsies.

That is the only glaring problem I have seen though. The spears are very aggressive in pursuing calvary, ok...but they should not run like calvary too.

they can run as fast as cav?? lol wtf.. thats just stupid... who came up with that idea?

**Nightbringer** · April 22, 2008, 11:21 PM

um, are you guys sure you dont have the speed on x2, because everything moves the same speed it did in 5.1

**Gomer_Pyle** · April 22, 2008, 11:26 PM

I did check that its on 1x. What files contains this information about movement speed?

**General Dissaray** · April 22, 2008, 11:28 PM

the units seem to move about the same speed for me. May be the cav is just more mobile in the hands of 6.0 AI than it was in 5.1 so they tier faster. Tierd horses slow way down.

The deplomacy thing is nice, I pissed off a French princes by asking for a map with the trade and then she wouldn't give me any thing. Though the Scots did form an aliance with me prity easy. Then they foolishly went to war with me and didn't have a chance to make the mistake again. Good thing to, I wanted their land but didn't want to break the bond my self.
