unlimited number of men and more than 1 trainin slot

[alex5152]

as the title says i need help in finding two things:

1. file in which you can change "unlimited number of men" to true (if it exists as in medieval 2)

2. to make the game pace faster, how do i make it to train 2 units (or more if possible) in one turn?

1. preferences.txt has what you're looking for
2. in the tutorial section look for the EDU guide in the units edting tutorial area and change the recruitment time to 0, this will allow 9 units (maximum possible) to be recuited at one time

yea i tested with 0 turn recruitment but still i would like it around 3 or 4 max if possible

How about you just set all recruitment times to zero, and do a bit of micromanaging in your cities by only clicking the amount of soldiers you want to recruit that turn. This gives you the freedom to buy upto 9 units that turn, or less. That way you can choose to rercruit more or less depending on finance, situation and mood (of the player of course, the dumb AI's brain is only capable of one thing, and that is losing. Badly).

It's either all or nothing in RTW, you can't limit to X number of units per turn.

Doesn't the unlimited number of men on the battlefield mean that over 40 soldiers can fight?

With a zero turn recruitment won't that mean you plunder out pretty much armies of armies?

Won't the computer then take advantage of this.

Judging by how the AI recruits armies if you put one of your cities under it's management it basically only clicks 1 unit every turn, so it doesn't waste money. This is probably true for AI controlled factions as well, so it is probably too stupid to understand that is can recruit 9 units a turn. Testing should be done

ok thanks everyone for advice and i noticed while playing campaign that even with 1 unit per turn the AI leaves the settlement population around 500 (playing on large scale) so 9 units per turn wont make mutch of a difference, but the unlimited men on the battlefield is the most fun thing you can do (i love doing battles where i actually surround the enemies with no hope of escape lol

Just remember that in RTW you can control only 20 units at a time, no matter how many men you bring to the battle. Your other troops and allies can join the battle, but only under AI control or to fill slots in your army.

i had medieval 2 and i know the basics and some usefull tactics,Ex. i can make 5 groups of elite swordsmen rout with 4 units of cavalry at the same time

[durabox]

you can change the number of Armies in battle to 300. look for the unit_size in preferences.

That is incorrect, the most men in a unit is 243, 240 from the unit and 3 officers.
