Quick question

Hello, How do i alter the rate that certain troop types can be recruited eg - from waiting 5 turns to recruiting them to say 2 turns.

Here is how you do increase the amount of turns it takes to create a unit:

Code:

type             Peasants
dictionary       Peasants      ; Peasants
category         infantry
class            light
voice_type       Light
banner faction   main_infantry
banner holy      crusade
soldier          Peasants, 60, 0, 0.8
attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, can_withdraw, is_peasant, peasant
formation        1.2, 1.2, 2.4, 2.4, 6, square
stat_health      1, 0
stat_pri         4, 0, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_simple, piercing, spear, 25, 0.6
;stat_pri_ex      0, 0, 0
stat_pri_attr    no
stat_sec         0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, melee_simple, blunt, none, 25, 1
;stat_sec_ex      0, 0, 0
stat_sec_attr    no
stat_pri_armour  0, 3, 0, flesh
;stat_armour_ex   0, 4, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, flesh
stat_sec_armour  0, 0, flesh
stat_heat        2
stat_ground      1, -2, 3, 2
stat_mental      1, low, untrained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        1, 110, 90, 65, 50, 110, 4, 20
armour_ug_levels 0, 1
armour_ug_models Peasants, Peasants_ug1
ownership        england, france, hre, denmark, spain, portugal, milan, venice, papal_states, slave, saxons
era 0            england, france, hre, denmark, spain, portugal, milan, venice, papal_states, saxons
era 1            england, france, hre, denmark, spain, portugal, milan, venice, papal_states, saxons
era 2            england, france, hre, denmark, spain, portugal, milan, venice, papal_states, saxons
;unit_info        4, 0, 3

Now you edit the part in red:

Code:

stat_cost        1, 110, 90, 65, 50, 110, 4, 20

to whatever number you want. However, if you want to increase the amount of turns before you can recruit a unit, then I am afraid that I do not know how to do that yet.

Cheers, I'll give it a try and see how i do. Thanks for the quick reply.

**NLegari** · April 14, 2009, 08:58 PM

Let me know if it works.

**Borissomeone** · April 14, 2009, 09:04 PM

will do, might not get a chance to try for a few days. I'll have to fight for the computer with my wife....

This is how many turns a unit will take to recruit.

Code:

stat_cost        1, 110, 90, 65, 50, 110, 4, 20

The time it takes to be able to recruit that unit again is found in the EDB;

Code:

recruit_pool "Deisi Javelinmen"  1   0.5   4 0  requires factions { ireland, }

In the example the 0.5 means the unit will be ready to be recruited again in 2 turns, if set at 0.25 it would take 4 turns. It is called the refresh rate.
The 4 is the maximum number of units that can be stored, ready for recruitment.
Just to make it complete the 1 is the number of units ready when the building in question is built and the 0 is the amount of experience units get when recruited from this building.
So to change the refresh time, you would have to search for (ctrl+f) the unit in EDB and change the number every time you find that unit.
