changing unit recruiting time in M2TW

[The Hound]

I looked though 40 pages and wasnt able to find this, also looked in the wiki and didnt find it. Its probably so easy thats why. But how and where do I go to change the time it takes to recuit a unit. for example if it takes 5 turns for a unit to become available for recuitment how do I change that to 3 turns or 8 turns?


also, I cant remeber, to make ancillaries interchangable between generals do you have to change it from the 0 to a 1 or from 1 to 0 in the appropriate field?


Thanks

I believe that it is done in the export_descr_buildings.txt file.

                recruit_pool "Hobilars"  1   0.5   4  0  requires factions { england, }

I believe the red # is the key. 0.5 = 2 turns ; 1 = 1 turn.

Hope this helps, Vegas_Bear.

The 0.5 is the refresh rate of the unit pool per turn, the pools maximum size is the third value, the first value is the initial pool size (how many units of said type be trained when building is first built) and the 4th value is experience the unit gets when trained.

you also might want to look at the descr_mercenaries.txt which has a similar layout except for merc units in any given region... the top part of that file explains it all...

The export_descr_unit.txt can then be set up to set the time it takes to actually train the unit once it has become available...

I'm quite sure to make ancillaries interchangable you set transferable to 1.
