I think you would have more luck asking this in the workshop part of the forums for medieval II. Try looking there your question might already be answered in one of the guides.

I just posted it here because I thought that the team might have put a movement trait boost and they can tell me where it is to change it.Thanks anyway!

[JohnK17]

Can anyone help me please...anyone???

I responded in your workshop thread, some other relevant responses are there as well.

You only need to remove the "Effect MovementPoints" line in both traits. The traits are dependent on the difficulty level of your game.

[JohnK17]

Unfortunately,removing it doesn't work either...I actually removed all of it as well and the triggers but nothing happened.I guess no one knows how to do this...thanks anyway.

No, Gigantus just told you how to do it. If you want to remove only the movement bonus, then all you have to do is delete the entirety of the 'Effect MovementPoints' line from both traits. That's it.

Yes but I already did it and nothing changed.I removed the movement boost entirely from both traits and because it didn't work either I completely removed all and the triggers as well.I tell you nothing changed...what should I do???

[Gigantus]

I have a feeling that your changes are not registering because of the virtual store. To test it simply remove the "restrict_strat_radar false" from the campaign_script and start a game. If your radar restriction doesn't appear to the left of the mini map then that's your problem you have to solve.

A tutorial how to solve it can be found here (as I suggested in the installation post). Simply start at step #3 and then delete the medieval ii total war folder inside the virtual store.

Yes,I thought about it as well,I have already done this.Only one thing though...virtual store folder has been always empty...

[Gigantus]

Did you run the test with the script entry?

[JohnK17]

Did you run the test with the script entry?

Yes,I did...no problem there!

[Gigantus]

Then I can only conclude that there are more traits that provide movement points, making a removal of this one (two) trait(s) miniscule. A quick count gives 66 instances in EDCT and 20 in EDA.

[JohnK17]

So,I should remove about 66 movement traits in edct,is that right???

But again I just want to remove the boost movement the AI gets,that's all.I have done this again in other mods.I find it as strange as you find it but he who did the scripting maybe knows what exactly I should remove or what else can affect as a boost for the AI.I thought of uninstalling/installing the game but I don't think it will help much.

Thanks for your help and I know you may find this annoying but help me if you can because I really like this mod.Personally I despise boosts and I don't enjoy the campaign as much as I would like.

[Gigantus]

I designed the two traits that you mentioned here - who did the others is lost as the EDCT has been adopted from the RTW version of the game.

You can easily 'remove' all movement point lines by doing a 'search and replace' action. Simply search for Effect MovementPoints and replace it with ;Effect MovementPoints and choose 'replace all' - the semi-colon at the start of the line will prevent the line from being processed, also know as 'commenting out'.
It does however remove every instance. To check which of the traits is only applicable for the AI requires a tedious checking of the triggers linked to those traits.

[JohnK17]

Ok,thank you very much! I won't bother you any more.

[JohnK17]

I finally did it!!! Many thanks Gigantus for your valuable help!!!
