Morale increased by 2 for all units

[Old_Rome]

Here is the requested EDU that increases morale by 2 for every unit. (except siege and canon units)

This EDU will make the game harder. The AI will still rout but not as fast so the battles will last longer and the enemy will do more damage to you. It will leave the exact flavor of the game alone and just make the battles harder. You will need better tactics and to play smarter. I found +2 to be perfect.

It will also help the AI from running away from a battle even though they are winning and will win if they just keep fighting.

I have tried your +2 morale mod and this works great! Battles are much improved!

Go to your Med2/mods/Stainless Steel/data folder, wherever you have it (C:?). Then make a safety copy of the export_describe_unit.txt, and then put the new EDU in this data folder. And yes, you replace the old EDU. Therefore the safety copy.

Save-game compatible?

Hey old rome i must say that u gotta increase it by 2 more just had a custom battle where a unit of regular swordsmen 103 of em runs away thats not hard enough u gotta increase it to make sure the AI fights atleats until its down to 30/50 men... just my 2 cents

i remember in RTW it was possible to change the "recovery speed" of morale. it should be faster i believe, that would also help to make the battles longer...

One question from a total nub in modding.
When you change the morale value, do you have to change it for every unit individually or is there some way to do it... a bit faster?

Quickest way I've found is to open export_descr_unit.txt with Notepad and then find the highest morale unit (11 in vanilla for example) and copy the first part of the stat line that reads:

stat_mental 11,

Then go Edit -> Replace and paste it in the 1st box. In the 2nd box, paste it again but change the morale to 13 (if you want +2). Then click Replace All. This will add +2 morale to all morale 11 units. Repeat with each lower morale value, adding 2 each time.

In vanilla, I think they only use morale values 1,3,5,9 and 11 so you only need to do this 5 times. Some mods will use more or less values so you might have to do it for each one. Just make sure you start with the highest or you'll end up changing your changes.

Very nice. Cant wait to couple this with bigger battle mod

[Bacon!]

this looks promising, i am looking forward to battles involving a fight to the death against the enemy. + rep

I'd recommend starting a new campaign.
Otherwise you'll get existing units with the old values and the new values only applied to the new units.

Hmm, that's fine, got my eye on starting a new one anyway!

Next silly question: I don't suppose this is compatible with CBUR?
