cheat that allows building 10 units in 1 turn

Is it possible to make a mod mid-game? I'd like to change the recruitment time on peasants only to 0 for my current campaign (to allow mass migrations), but I don't want to break the game. If I go into export_descr_units and change this now will it make a change to the existing game, or does this file "set up" the unit at the beginning of the campaign? Sorry I'm not familiar with how this works.

Yes changing the unit and building will affect current games. You have to restart to get merc or region changes.

and if you only want it for peasants, only change the peasants

Thanks, I tried it last night and it worked great. I changed all the peasant times to 0 and the mobs appear. Does anyone know why there are three flavors of Roman peasant? There are two versions of Roman civilians tacked on at the end of the file, one male and one female.

those are the ones you see in the cities when you close-up to see how the citie is built. you'll never see them in your game as a fighting unit. or you must have a corrupted RTR game like mine and you'll get biremes, triremes and quadremes for free with it. but they still won't be playable on the battlefield

I tried this out once, modding the buildings & units for the Greeks only to build in one turn, & gave myself over 1 Billion Denarii... needless to say, 20 minutes into the game, I had an army of over 50,000 soliders, & a fleet of over 1,000 ships (strangly similar to the movie "Troy").

I just quit the game, & restored the original .txt files; that sort of modding just isnt fun you know.

I did that too. It really helps when migrating peasants to control your cities population. Now the rub: I also try to change the unit size for the PEASANTS ONLY to 100 instead of the Normal size of 60. It seems that this caused the game to crash to desktop right after the initial splash screen.

I know there was a utility that allowed you to change the unit size (normal, large, huge) mid-game, but in my case I just want to change the Roman peasants.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks,

Try multiples of 6. 60, 120, etc.

I just found out the text to activate this cheat code, it is:

I tried that, but no luck.

good idea tho! It sounded plausible.
