Some Noob Questions..

[Averno]

Hi, just downloaded Stainless Steel today after buying Kingdoms..

1. Im wondering what file does SS use for the length of years, money earned, rebel spawn rate and so forth? Rome/Medieval II seemed to use the descr_strat file to alter these things but I cant see where to do that for SS (I like a long, defencive & slow game with almost no rebels).

2. What the heck is in the Irish faction? Usually I look at the custom battles to ponder over what units each faction can use, but Ireland doesnt seem to be at all selectable here. Id feel lame playing the game for hours only to find out they have units I may not want.

3. Early vs Late era campaigns.. Can I just play early and go right the way though? I am hope it doesnt stop suddenly, kick you to main menu and require you to start a late campaign? Id like to start right at the beginning and work my way through all ages within the same campaign you see. Is it possible?

4. Is there any help anywhere? I was hoping to find a manual PDF somewhere so I wouldnt have to troll through forums.

Thanks

3.early era just starts earlyer it's the same end date and oh yeah the early era is 1.5 yrs per turn late is 1 year per turn

1. try C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War [default directory]\mods\SS\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt

2. like lordextra0 said.

3. No, they're two different campaigns, but I strongly recommend you play the late campaign [faster phased - more active AI factions - overall it's much more action oriented if that's what you prefer].

4. The only manual I know is called "start game".

Awesome, thanks for answering the questions

I agree by the way, the late era campaign does seem better.

Always there to help.

Cobra I can't seem to find how to change the time span. Where exactly is it in the file??


EDIT: Got it!

how do i disable RR and grim reality? i can't really be bothered to wait forever for decent troops

[Wildassman]

I think you will have to reinstall SS.

[Eien]

i might give it a try

Reinstall SS 6.1 (the patch) and un-tick the option for installing RR and BGR.
