RTW mods that slows the unit speed only?

[Rottweiler]

Hi all.

Is there a mod for Rome Total War that slows the unit speed, but otherwise keeps the vanilla game intact? (or at least keeps the senate and wardogs for Rome, since these are my favorite things in the vanilla game :)

I have played Rome Total Realism 6.0 and enjoyed it very much. But I also want to finnish the vanilla campaign, at least for once!. I really cannot stand those cartoonish unit movement speeds and I'm too lazy and modclumsy to edit all the unit data by myself.

Tell ya what: Let's visit the RTW Mod forum to find out. Right this way Sir...

Mod guys: Can you help Rottweiler?

In the main data folder there's a file called descr_battle_map_modifiers.txt. Replacing the values there with, say, the ones XGM uses - see below -


grass_short 0.8
grass_long 0.8
sand 0.8
rock 0.8
forest_dense 0.60
scrub_dense 0.8
swamp 0.8
mud 0.8
mud_road 0.8
stone_road 0.8
water 0.48
ice 0.40
snow 0.60

- and suddenly about everything moves some 20% or so slower than before. When I tried it for the first time it gave me a bit of an impression of the soldiers trudging on tar, but I kinda liked it too.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll try that editing.
