how to turn off the turn 2 computer rewards

[probmfixn]

ive noticed that for some factions if they are a computer they get massive amounts of units and somtimes even get cities on the other side of the map when the player gets nothing but what you have on turn 1. is there a way to make it is so the computer gets what you would get if you had played that nation?

[AllianceDeath]

They get it because the AI is quite simply impossible to make good enough to do this on it's own. The Empire also gets a large amount of units because their units autoresolve quite badly.
This mod is supposed to be hard, don't expect urself to have a massive empire by turn 20.

"don't expect urself to have a massive empire by turn 20"
then why does the computer get it on turn 2? i dont mind it being hard, heck i dont even mind the computers being given masses of units. what im botherd by is the computer being able to spread across the map in one turn to an extent that would take you a hundred. another thing i dont like is the computer getting multiple of units that in some cases you get only 1 of, ever

now back to my original question: how can i turn it off? or at the very least how can i make it so the script activates even if im playing as that faction?

Manually removing scripts would be only way I think. There is sand-box sub-mod, I would suggest taking look at that as an option.

[probmfixn]

do you know what the scripts to delete are? i dont want to just start deleting things
as for the sand-box the only thing i dont like is the handicap the human gets on turn 2. besides that i like everything else so im not really interested in the sand-box

The scripts are labelled by section, so you should be able to take out sections to remove specific events. Like if you don't want anybody to hire mercs, you can take out the Mercs or Heroes section.

Just be sure to copy the "campaign_script.txt" and place it somewhere safe before you make any changes.

You'll need to manually remove some scripts, it's actually quite easy. To do this you'll need to open the file campaign_script.txt located in your MTW2 folder in data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign. First make a backup of this file in case you mess something up. Now look for this: 2. Help to different factions.
Now you'll see stuff like this (this is one example):

Script

if I_SettlementOwner Volgen = slave and not I_SettlementUnderSiege Volgen spawn_army faction hre character random_name, named character, x 47, y 77, label hregeneral3, family traits LoyaltyStarter 1 , Upright 2 , GoodCommander 3 , PublicFaith 2 , man 1 unit Reiksguard bodyguard exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Reiksguard exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Encarmine exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Pistoliers exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Pistoliers exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Greatswords exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Karroburg greatswords exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Warpriests exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit witch hunters exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit dismounted Reiksguard exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit dismounted Reiksguard exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit dismounted Reiksguard halberd exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit dismounted Reiksguard halberd exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Halberdmen exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Halberdmen exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Company of Honour exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Company of Honour exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Empire crossbowmen exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Empire crossbowmen exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit Bright Wizard exp 4 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 end console_command auto_win attacker siege_settlement hregeneral3, Volgen, attack end_if terminate_monitor end_monitor

It means that if Reikland is AI, this army will be spawned and will automatically capture Volgen. If you delete this it won't happen. There are numerous other things you can delete or modify like the garrison script but keep in mind that it will make things very difficult for the AI.

ok i looked over the script and what part says "if faction=AI" because im not seeing that part
if i can make it to always activate, not just for computers, im satisfied. that way i can enjoy whatever faction i want to play and still face the same difficulty AI

[probmfixn]

i got what i had wanted to work in the wrong way XD
i deleted all the turn 2 things referencing "IsFactionAIControlled" and what i got was all the nations not getting the extra lands but they didnt gain any units either.
what should i change to make it so it will not care if your AI or human and still activate?
