Ringo, or anyone that has edited Gen star ratings.

[MiniKiller]

Alright I asked how I could prevent Generals from appearing with star command without any fighting. I got an answer on how to do it but it seems complicated to me and I hate messing with files like that.

Can you, Ringo, or anyone else send me a copy of the specific file that does this with every unit in the game set to "discouraged" so that all units I train will very rarely have any star ratings?

This would me a hell of alot to me as once I start pumping out Gen's with ratings I all but stop playing because I like building my guys as opposed to just getting them.

Thank You very kindly, most gratitude http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cheers.gif

P.S. Please send it to cisco131977@yahoo.com, my comcast account isn't working, gotta call my ISP provider and let em know tomorrow.

I can send you the crusader_unit_prod.txt file as soon as i finish work But that won't be for a while yet i'm afraid http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I have although modded a few other things which i don't know if you'll want? I can't really remember all the changes that I've made so it would be a bit of a suprise what the game turns out like http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

I'm by no means a pro but i'm taking very small steps towards that goal http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

Ok so from your email it seems you have

-Changed catholic factions to discouraged, but not anyothers?
-Made Viking units avalible to Danish.
-Made Footknights to 50 men instead of 30.
-Alternated AI to build less Peasents
-Little things you cant remember. ( http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif )

Are all these changes in the crusader_unit_prod.txt file?

I'll have to make a backup.

I like the fact that you have made it so the Danish can have Viking units and changed the factions units to discouraged.

You mentioned not changing all the units in the Catholic faction(s). Do you remember which ones you didnt touch? Do you intend at all to change the Muslim and Orthodox factions aswell? I'm starting a campaign as the Bryz and well dont want 9 star general's poping out http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-jester.gif.

Alternating the ai to not build peasents, pretty good but I never have that problem, to be honest I dont see any army bring many peasents to battle's. How can I set this back to normal.

Are the footknights like a really strong unit now? How could I put that back at 30 was it, if I wanted to.

How noticeable are the "little" things you added lol so maybe I can pick some out.

Thanks again, I owe ya.

Oh by the way what folder does this go into?

I'll change the Muslim & Orthodox factions tonight and re-send you the file if you like. It won't take long. I actually changed all the catholic units except Royal Knights, b4 i sent you the file as i remembered your needs.

I'll change this also

No, I adjusted their unit to 50 as they were too weak. The small number of troops meant they could be too easily overwelmed IMO. If you want to chage this back to '40' either let me know or download Gnome; it's really easy to change

Dunno can't really remember

x:\program files\total war\medieval - total war\
(if default directory used)


Hope this helps, i'll send that fix tonight http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-juggle.gif Until then i best do some work.
