EDU changes/ Fewer stacks shorter battles?

[Jetsean12o07]

First of all congrats on the mod it looks spectacular. But one thing i find with the few mods ive played for rtw is that the battles last too long for me anyway i see too many people getting knocked down and getting back up. My question is how does fewer stacks, shorter battles work i opened the export from the default folder and then the fewer stack shorter battles folder and compared some units and the stats are unchanged. What am i doing wrong? I would really love this mod to be the way i play rtw but i know its my fault but i dont have the patience to watch a battle go on for so long. Sorry for long post any help would be nice.

The stats should bechanged, you must be looking at it wrong. Could you copy and paste the respective sections of code here. Just one unit each.

Lethality is increaed
0.204

[Jetsean12o07]

So thats all it adds is lethality?

[Ferdiad]

Its a significant increase.

[Jetsean12o07]

Im not seeing my battles go by much faster oh well do you know of anything that makes them even shorter? and thanks for your help.

[Ferdiad]

Double the base lethality, dont mess with the stats seeing as they're fine. You're gonna want a program to do this seeing as there's 500 lines to edit.

[Jetsean12o07]

Do you know of something i can use to do that?

Using a program si still faster, Notepad++ is better for stuff like recruitment time editing.

What campaign are you playing Jetsean12o07?

[Jetsean12o07]

I havent played a campaign in a long time just because i havent had time and thinking about long battles puts me off, im probably just too impatient but i started using http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=295740 to just mess around with some stuff. If i do play a campaign its Carthage ftw .

Auto resolve then.
