****tutorial in changing movement points for units, not characters***

[spanish_emperor]

ok so i have not seen any tutorial that answers the questions of so many people out here and recently i was myself wondering if it was possible. If you want to change the movement points for infantry, cavalry and siege then listen up. (only for kingdoms expansion and mods which require kingdoms)

First go to descr_campaign_db.xml in mods/stainless_steel_6/data
when you open it go to the bottom and add what is colored:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

<misc>
<allow_resource_forts bool="false"/> <!-- do we allow forts and watchtowers to be built on resource locations -->
<fort_devastation_distance uint="20"/> <!-- maximum movement point extents for determining devastation tile targets for forts -->
<army_devastation_distance uint="20"/> <!-- maximum movement point extents for determining devastation tile targets for field armies -->
<fort_devastation_modifier float="1.0"/> <!-- num devastated tiles modifier for forts -->
<army_devastation_modifier float="1.0"/> <!-- num devastated tiles modifier for field armies -->
<enable_hotseat_messages bool="true"/> <!-- do we allow hotseat messages to be send between human players -->
<enable_unit_accent_overrides bool="true"/> <!-- do we use unit db accent overrides for campaign unit selection -->
<cavalry_movement_points_modifier float="2.00"/> <!-- movement points modifier for cavalry units -->
<infantry_movement_points_modifier float="1.00"/> <!-- movement points modifier for infantry units -->
<siege_movement_points_modifier float="0.75"/> <!-- movement points modifier for siege units -->
</misc>
</root>

note: this is just an example. You can put whatever values you wish for cavalry, infantry and siege.

I have just tested it and it does work. (i tested it by giving cavalry "7.00" to be able to see any difference)

i don't know if anyone else had already found out about this (cavalry and infantry) but i haven't seen any.

thanks dimitri,
i don't really have any purpose for this but i have seen so many people asking if this was possible that i had to help

[SigniferOne]

Only for Kingdoms I assume?

Only for Kingdoms I assume?

yep

[The Cobra]

Nice work.
+Rep.

Ships too?

[spanish_emperor]

Ships too?

you can change that in descr_character.txt

[JaM]

is there a way to differentiate between units in same category? For example - wheeled artilery liek serpentines or culverins to have more moving points than bombards or old catapults/trebuchets?

[SigniferOne]

Nope. They're all in the category of artillery.


QUESTION!:

Has anyone yet found a way to change (raise) the amount of movement points while on a road?
