Recruitment In No Time: Help Please!

**Taurus** · 06-17-2005, 16:12

Hi all,

First I want to say hi (just did) and second I just want to say sorry if this has been posted before but i did search the forums to no avail.

Thanks,

Anyway my question is how do you change/mod the game so that all of the units in the game are created in 0-turns. So therefore I would never have to wait for the really good units to take their 3-4 turns and likewise with buildings.

So please if anybody knows (which I know someone does) how to create units and buildings in 0-turns please help.

Thanks in advance,
- Vip3r Warrior

Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy. Just go to export_descr_unit.txt in the Data file. Say you want to make British Peasants train in 0 turns:

Code:

type             barb peasant briton
dictionary       barb_peasant_briton      ; Barbarian Peasants
category         infantry
class            light
voice_type       Light_1
soldier          barb_peasant, 60, 0, 0.7
attributes       sea_faring, hide_improved_forest
formation        1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 2.4, 6, horde
stat_health      1, 0
stat_pri         1, 0, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, knife, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr    no
stat_sec         0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr    no
stat_pri_armour  3, 1, 0, leather
stat_sec_armour  0, 0, flesh
stat_heat        2
stat_ground      2, -2, 3, 2
stat_mental      0, low, untrained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        1, 150, 100, 20, 30, 150
ownership        britons

Where it says stat cost, just change the 1 that i have highlighted into a 0. Do this for all units.

For buildings you must modify export_descr_buildings

Code:

        wooden_pallisade requires factions { barbarian, ct_carthage, eastern, greek, roman, } 
        {
            capability
            {
                wall_level 0
                tower_level 1
            }
            construction  1 
            cost  400 
            settlement_min town
            upgrades
            {
                wooden_wall
            }
        }

For a wooden pallisade in 0 turns, just change the highlighted 1 by 0.

Is it possible to train multiple units at same time but not at 0 turn?
Like training 5 units at same time in same city that takes 2 turns to train.

**quintisv** · 06-19-2005, 17:28

Is there a way to do this to ALL units without having to do each unit one by one???

Use Control+H to find and replace all
stat_cost 1
and
stat_cost 2
with
stat_cost 0

Just a suggestion... I wouldn't allow recruitment of ALL units in 0 turns, as that makes it too easy for rich factions to turn out armies consisting entirely of elite troops. Try reducing all recruitment times by 1 turn. That way you can still recruit up to 9 units per settlement, but only the last can be an elite unit like Spartans, Praetorians etc.
