Changing retrain time

[Skyhigh949]

Hi,
I like Rome TW better where all the units were retrained in just 1 turn. In Med TW II, you have to wait a long time just for your army to get retrained. Is there any way to change the armount of troops recruited or retrained per turn (like from 3 to 9)?

Go to export_descr_buildings and modify each of the 10 core buildings like so

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Increase the 1 there to 9. By the way, this export_descr_buildings is from the Stainless Steel mod, so it will look a lot different than yours if you're playing the original game. Your file won't have all the event counters. But you will see an entry in each of the 10 core buildings that says "recruitment slots #" and you just change that number to 9.

Thanks man. Now can you please tell me where i can find export_descr buildings

When I ran a search, lots of files with that name came up, but they were all for mods, like export_descr buildings file in Broken Crescent folder

And yes, I'm a noob when it comes to things like this.

[kevindrosario]

It depends on what you want to change retrain times for. Do you want to change retrain times for Broken Crescent? Then do it for the EDB in the Broken Crescent folder. Do you want to do it for the original game, then do it in the Medieval 2/data folder. What do you want to do it for?

[Ishan]

The hardcoded value for this is 9.
EDB for vanilla is packed so unpack it.

[Skyhigh949]

I want to do it for the original. But there is no export_descr_buildings in my vanilla data folder! lol

EDIT: @Ishan, ok thanks man!

[kevindrosario]

Oh yeah, then look at Ishan's post. You need to unpack your files.

[Skyhigh949]

Done. Thanks guys.
