    Default Recruitment like in vanilla M2TW

    I've just started using SS 6.4 and it's great, a lot of improvements from the original campaign but there is one thing that is bothering me.... the recruitment. I understand that the intension of the recruitment in this mod is to make it more realistic, but the mod really isn't for me. I liked the freedom of recruitment there was in vanilla and the possibility of having multiple elite units in an army. I like playing realistic, but for me this just just limiting the gameplay to much. I'm don't like having to rely of merceneries and pesents for the main bit of my army. I'm sure others love this mod, but I'm not a fan of it. Is it possible to make recruitment like in vanilla? Any mods out there that do this? I've searched the forum and haven't found anything yet.

    Thanks

    When you're on the setup screen:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Tick disable Real Recruitment.

    Clearly has his priorities straight.

    I already have, and I've never once tried running a campaign without disabling real recruitment. I'm still getting waits of at least 8 turns between recruiting each "elite" unit. Sorry I forgot to mention this.

    Edit: If it means anything I am using steam and also vista, so not sure if that may cause any issues.

    Ah, my apologies then for misunderstanding you. You want to be capable of fielding armies that contain more elite units yes?

    Don't know of any submod that does this but, it's not all that difficult to change yourself. Just a bit time consuming if you want to do it for every faction. You'd need to go into the descr_buildings.txt and edit the replenish rate for the elite units, also if you'd like to cut down on their training time this would require editing the EDU. I'm a bit drunk atm so, I apologize if this is coming off as illegible.

    If you want specifics on how to do this I would be willing to help you out, just send me a private/visitor message.

    Yes both of those things you mentioned is what I want to do. I want to reduce the time it takes to train units and also to replenish them. You now have a message.
