All right, my last phase...some assistance please.

All right I'm close to my goal of making the units harder to come back, there fore making battles smaller in size but keeping the actualy unit size the same.

I've downloaded the Gnome editor and edited all the units on both the Crusader file and the Viking file to discouraged (I like picking my own general's and making them earn their stars)

Now I was thinking of adding a 0 to the end of each unit price aswell as the unit support cost. Would this work or should I mayeb add two 0's to the unit support cost?

Any ideas? advise? soon hehe I cant wait to start, thanks guys

Don't mess with the supportcost. The number is not the trune value, but a factor of some sort. So if you increase the cost, the supportcost increases just as much percentagewise. So if you added a 0 to the support value not a single faction would be able to keep any units they trained, but perhaps Peasants. In fact I'm sure most faction would bankrupt themselves with their initial army.

Ok thanks for the heads up.

I added a 0 to all unit cost but only that. Started a campagin with the Saxons.

So far its going fairly well. I still notice alot of trrops being produced, escpially for the mercians but perhaps they are mainly the cheap peasent folk. Each faction has about 1 full stack and alot of tiny stacks around it. Hmmm I do notice that they all now build up their land more, starting with a warrior hold. I do with every third province but hey if they do it for everyone thats ok with me.

Just a little formula you can use to calculate the supportcost prices: Number of men in the unit X supportcost value (as indicated in the unit prod file) X 0.125 = the total supportcost for the unit.

Ah... ok. Now it makes sense.

[MiniKiller]

so say there are 40 men in one unit and theur support cost is 6.

its 40x6x.125??

[Kraxis]

Yes...

Now I found a good example, Bulgarian Brigands. They are 60 men in the unit and have a support cost value of 4.

60*4 = 240
240*0.125 = 30
That fits, they cost only 30 florins per year.
