S.P.Q.R questions

[the_lad]

I recently downloaded S.P.Q.R 8.0 and loved it but the only thing i do not like about it is that an army can be trained in one turn so I was wondering if their was some way of turning it back to normal recruitment time.

go to the data folder. Look for export_descr_unit.txt, and choose ANY UNIT. First, make a COPY backup of this txt file. So if you made a mistake, you can revert to original.
Find this line in the bottom of any unit.

stat_cost 0, 220, 100, 30, 40, 220

see the "0"? the first value? Its the "recruitment per turn". changing it to a number higher is default. Now, that depends, if its 1 or 2. Some units (by default) are recruited by 2. lol.

ANYWAYS. Easy way to do this without editing each one is... click CTRL + F. Click "Replace" tab.
Enter this for "Find what:" stat_cost 0,
Enter this for "Replace With:" stat_cost 1,

Then click REPLACE ALL.

Trust me you need to be able to Train/Retrain Armies in 1-2 turns for this mod, or the Gauls will have you for breakfast.

PS FYI editing files may lead to forfeiting the Marius Reforms = No Republican/Imperial Legions

not sure if what jan765 is suggesting will do this, but cheating certainly will

I suggest not doing this, it will not make any difference with the AI and you will be crippled and make the game 10X harder than it is already. I suggest EB and RTR if you like 1 turn, they are great games.

One of the principle draws to SQPR was 0 turn recruiting.

Different strokes for different folks, but I honestly don't understand the desire to go back.

Yeah try playing SPQR the way its meant to be played first before trying to change it. LT put alot of work into balancing out the game. Kind of defeats the purpose of playing the mod otherwise.
