difficulty setting and population questions

[jmack]

hey

i was playing a awsome game as carthage but as i was using huge units the game is screwed up now as all the enemy cities are at 400 pop. anyways

is there a way to change the % of pop growth to compensate for the huge armies?
or is the best way to edit all cities to like 10000 pop?

i would love to play on v/h campain map dificulty but i hate not being able to negotiate treaties. is there a way to change this?

and lastly does the ai improve (ex. sends more foces to atack , builds better economy,) with the increase of difficulty?

thx

[jmack]

anyone?

well probably the AI will be more difficult when you increase the difficulty ,depending on your choice of battle and campaign difficulty

As to increase the pop growth ,try building special temples or try this http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/Export_...t_(RTW_Modding)

open up your folder ,go to data ,open up the export_desr_buildings.txt and wherever you see something that increases populationgrowth ,you augment that number
