More Decisive Battles

**Maximuspwnius** · June 05, 2010, 12:45 PM

Howdy guys and dev team,
I was just wondering if there was a way to make battles more decisive in 1 turn recruitment. When I say that I mean; is there a way that is easier than manually editing the costs and upkeep for every single unit that isn't a really weak skirmish unit or town guard level soldier. My basic idea is that pitching a unit of legionnaires against a unit of town watch would be completely unfair, a unit of legionnaires could take 5 or 6 or even more, so I figure I'd make it so that units cost what they are worth in battle. Because 1 turn recruitment is somewhat unfair towards the romans when not played by the A.I (what kind of player would put 1 unit from all the italian legions into an army), I'd like to be able to recruit all the legions at all the legion recruiting capable cities. I get the feeling writing this, that everyone is going to reply with "have fun with notepad for the next week". I'd hate to have to edit a text file for thousands of units, though if worse comes to worse, I will. Help me out please.

Well frankly, you are going to have to edit every single unit manually to get this done.... that is the EASIEST way.

Or you can use the mod "scalestuff" (a mod that automatically scales all unit stats in a file), but ive never gotten that to work, cant find a link im sorry.

(and lastly, if you make all legions available everywhere, your game will crash because the game does not have that many recruitment slots per city ( or so i believe)

Theres a submod for that purpose. It increases recruitment and upkeep cost.

read my post above yours

**Maximuspwnius** · June 05, 2010, 01:19 PM

Yeah I saw that after I'd posted, I'll look into that edu thing though. Are you sure cities don't have enough training slot things though?

**Themis** · June 05, 2010, 01:22 PM

Quite sure, ive read several similar things on these forums, however to be sure, wait for a Dev's response or use the search function on the forums

If I'm not mistaken, the max number of unit is 32 in a city.
With the first legion, and all, you'd be way above that.
But I think you could give them an area, instead of a single town.

......bugger.

So I could give them the area that is the name of the province?
