Is there anyway to get the catholic factions to stop producing so many pesantry units, espically france. It really hurts them militarily and makes them to easy to beat when playing as another catholic faction espically.

download and install the WesW Medmod 1.1.5 in the .Org's Download and Upload section. trust me, it really helps out the AI alote.

An easy step would be to remove the ability to train them, just delete the production requirements in the prod file. I did that and it is great, I now face Knights and other heavy troops http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif ...

This doesn't remove Peasants from the game though, they still appear in rebellions and Crusades.

wesw mod also helps AI trade a lot better so they can afford better troops and to upgrade them as well.

I've noticed a change in the tactical AI as well - not sure if Wes modded this or just a case of the AI having better troops to play with. But AI recently setup a very good ambush with 3 units of FK which surprised the hell out of me when they hit my flank. Also, since installing the mod have yet to see AI march troops up & down in front of my lines while my missiles rip him up. They just come at me or start skirmishing with their archers.

Give it a go and you should be pleaseantly surprised.

Crusades? I launched a few using Spain and have only seen crusade specific units on them when they start.

If you don`t want to install a whole mod, you can easily mod that yourself. Just change AI choices for units (peasants down, ships and MAA up). But beware Maybe you`ll miss that peasant-made AI armies some day http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Decompress it and copy all files into your game folder. WesW put in a set of original files so you can always restore the game back to normal. There is a instruction file included aswel. Maybe you should read that first.
WesW had already made a version 1.7 and he is working on 1.8. At the dungeon you will find some threads about this mod.

ok actually, instead of getting rid of peasants, i encourage you to build them.
