Retrain Anywhere

**fittri2893** · December 18, 2009, 02:48 AM

Is there any way to enable the units to be retrained anywhere, i mean in any castle or city without the requirements.I mean like even though the army is stationed in a low level city or castle,it can still be retrained

Yep, you'd have to add every unit as recruitable, to all the settlement corebuilding types. If you add them as follows;

Code:

recruit_pool "Highland Rabble" 0 0.99 0.999 0 requires factions { scotland, }

The maximum in the pool will remain less than 1, meaning that a new unit can't be recruited, but any unit can be retrained.

Sorry,but maybe I;m a noob.This code is in what file?
Thanks for replying.

EDIT: Never mind.I've found the file and edited the code.But I can't see any changes in the game.Do I have to start a new game? FYI I'm moding kingdoms so should I use the medieval 2 cfg file to set the file_first parameter?

Anyway thanks for replying.

No, the effects of EDB changes are usually seen after ending a turn.

yes, i had done everything you said . For example, I add this 4 unit to every building core sttlement type.

recruit_pool "SE Town Militia" 1 0.2 2 0 requires factions { byzantium, }
recruit_pool "ME Town Militia" 1 0.2 2 0 requires factions { moors, turks, mongols, timurids, }
recruit_pool "ME Archer Militia" 1 0.2 2 0 requires factions { egypt, }
recruit_pool "Peasant Spearmen" 1 0.2 2 0 requires factions { Saxons, }
recruit_pool "Tabardariyya" 0 0.99 0.999 0 requires factions { egypt, }
recruit_pool "Khassaki" 0 0.99 0.999 0 requires factions { egypt, } and event_counter holds_cairo 1
recruit_pool "Desert Archers" 0 0.99 0.999 0 requires factions { moors, egypt, }
recruit_pool "Saracen Militia" 0 0.99 0.999 0 requires factions { egypt, turks, }
recruit_pool "Sudanese Gunners" 0 0.99 0.999 0 requires factions { moors, egypt, }

where the red one are my added code..

But still did not work..

Yes you need a new game to see these changes, modding a kingdoms expansion itself is not something I'd recommend. Use a modfolder for all kinds of reasons.

**Taiji** · December 19, 2009, 10:20 AM

You modfoldered as Eothese suggested and ended turn like I suggested?

**fittri2893** · December 20, 2009, 08:03 AM

Yes, I have modfoldered it..But the problem is the game won't even run.Here is the log file

the animation ''sword_1_primary.cas'' is missing

get it from another campaign and copy-paste it in ''animations/test_weapon/''

Never mind..I had done it.Now conquest of the world will not be having any obstacles again because my toops can retrain anywhere.Thanks to all you guys.This is the best and most helpful modding forum I had stumbled upon.Thanks again.
