Hi there im new here. what is the minimal UI ?? and how can i turn it on ?? because on EUROPA BARBARORUM the units walk really really slow ,that dosent hapen on RTW or XGM!! PLEASE HELP !! thanks

Minimal UI can be turned on/off in preferences/preferences.txt. Search for

MINIMAL_UI:FALSE

and replace "FALSE" with "TRUE".

The units being slow is irrelevant to the UI, EB probably uses low battlemap speed modifiers, you can find those in RTW/EB/data/descr_battle_map_movement_modifiers.txt

Like Aradan said : Minimal UI doesn't change anything about unit movement

Have you changed the prefs file of EB or the one of RTW? Obviosuly if you wnat to see changes in EB you need to change the one in the EB/preferences folder.

Changing the speed modifiers: Make a backup of the file first. Then you can increase the numbers to your liking (max is 1). if you think speeds are too slow, try multiplying every number with 1.2, that will make movement quite faster.

yep that works!!!!!!!! thanks alot... one last thing can anyone tell me why threre are more units in the "play mulyiplayer" than in the'SINGLE PLAYER" such as better roman units or artilery and other units?? i can see this in the custom battle. is there any way to recruit those units in the SINGLE PLAYER ?? THANKS

You would be better off aksing this in the EB subforum here. I believe Custom battles only allow up to 100 units per faction, and during the campaign a lot of units are available only at specific regions/after reforms, but in MP you can get all of them. Plus, EB uses different unit files for MP and SP. As I said, ask around in their forums.
