units stuck in dense forest

[CarlXII]

Hey everybody!
I'm playing as the Romans and i just started the invasion of gaul after having conquered the whole of North africa. The problem is that the forests are so dense that when my enemies flee from the battlefield, some of them ALWAYS get stuck between two trees and then I have to spend 30 mins looking for them... It's really annoying so i was wondering if there was a way to make the forests less dense??

Simplest thing to do is after you've put the enemy into a rout and they get stuck, put the time on triple speed and wait until the time runs out. Just make sure you have enabled 'limited time' otherwise there's no time to run out of.

Another simple way is not to attack the enemy armies but advance, then build a fort and let them attack you. This way when you sally, you will always fight the battle at the fort, meaning no forest. It might even make sense role-play wise since Caesar did spend a lot of time defending fortifications in his Gallic wars.

When it comes to changing the in-game forests, you will have to wait for someone else.

There is a EB mod that removes giant trees. Another method is RSII environments mod for EB. I prefer the latter because it also greatly improves graphics for environments.

I think Jirisys' Mega Mod Pack says it does exactly that.

Yes, "removing giant trees" mod is included in Jirisy's compilation

Why do you say you HAVE to look for routing enemies? You don't have to.

Once all the enemy units are routing, you get a popup box saying you've won the battle, and you can choose to either end the battle now or chase down the routers. If you click 'End Now' then the battle ends. So you can let the routers get away if you want.

Or, I've found that I can opt to chase the routers down, kill most of them, then press Esc, and Exit the battle without needing to kill them all. The battle still ends with you winning, and there will be fewer enemy survivors.

You don't need to spend 30 minutes hunting down a couple of fugitives in a forest - complete waste of your game time.

Sorry, i forgot to say that I don't make them all rout, they retreat and that's when they get stuck. That's why that window doesn't pop up.
Thanks people, I'll try what you suggested!

You can download the "No Giant Trees mod" somewhere at the org separately if you want. I found it through google.
