Turn off army penalty?

[blake_synel]

Hey, I've been playing this mod and love it. I have a problem with the field army script where I am charged 500/1000 for an army outside of the cities. It's really not the mod itself that bothers me as much as the incorrect information that shows up in my financial records every turn.

Another thing is that some of the smaller factions, who start with one very large army, tend to have a very hard time surviving. It took me nearly 20 turns to get out of debt with Serbia and I only purchased a farm and disbanded all my army...

So, is there a way to remove the field penalty? Appreciate the help.

Of course that's possible, just open the SV/data/world folder and search the repective campaign folders and there again the script file. Now search there the 'field army cost' script, and just remove the concerning lines.
But I've changed this script in the meantime, and it will be better (a bit easier) with the next release.

On the other side, i find it not too hard if one needs 20 turns to come out of the debt, understand this as challenge, and you'll be even more proud if you have achieved later a little expansion

Another option would be to increase the smaller factions starting treasury in the descr_strat.

;Angevins
faction saxons, sailor napoleon
ai_label catholic
denari 5000
denari_kings_purse 600

Just up it to whatever you need.

To clarify things, it is not really a penalty per say. It is supposed to represent the cost of keeping an army in the field, and supplied

Yeah, like I said, I just don't like my budget being off. I tend to look at my budget alot.

As a note, I played as the Catalans a little latter and passed 15 turns before getting out of debt and doing anything. I like the concept, but the field tax ontop of a slow economy doesn't work for me. I just fixed the campaign script to say -0. ;P

P.S.-- love the mod. Really like some of the newer factions, I tend to like playing as small, poor factions and fighting out of a tough spot. You added alot of those types of factions for me to play with.
