How do you turn OFF the green arrows?

I can't stand them any longer ;)

i think there'll be a prefereces_txt file in the main game directory folder (in with RTW.exe and so on) i think there's a line saying something like "green arrows disabled: FALSE" - change it to TRUE and you should be ok

Yup, isn't that the most distracting thing that you have ever seen?

Jimmy is correct.

DISABLE_ARROW_MARKERS:TRUE

I am slightly confused why all of those Preferences aren't in some kind of Menu in the game. I mean it's really simple to go in and change it myself but it may make the game a little more user friendly.

I guess it would make the UI too cluttered, and would have added to the development time.

Advanced configuration via text files is very common in games now; RTW is no different.

Although it does look like crap I have found there is one good thing about them. You can easily see which way units are facing/moving. Until a patch comes out and hopefully makes units actually do what you tell them to do i'm keeping it on.

YES IT IS!

Thanks guys I got them turned off.

The battles look much better now!

Turn off the banners too. Much better.

SHOW_BANNERS:FALSE

Oh nice. I never considered turning off the banners but that could be cool. I hate the routing banners specifically.

Thanks!

I keep the banners on. Since I don't have enough time to zoom in and watch the battles, because they are over in like 5 seconds, I need another way to see who is fleeing. The banners work fine.

Thank you for this thread!

If you turn off the banners, how do you know which units are about to flee?
Didn't notice if the Unit Cards also go white or something.

BTW, anyone know what this pertains to?

FIRST_TIME_PLAY:FALSE
