Green Arrows

[Aelius]

If I turn of the green triangles under units in the battle map... then how do I identify which unit I have selected? It seems to be a popular thing, to disable the arrows, but they seem necessary.

Don't worry. There are other identifications. The large banner that signifies each unit will grow and start flashing. If you have those turned off, the elected unit also glows somewhat.

Where do you turn those off? I don't see it on the game options and I've always hated them.

Go to C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\preferences and then click on the notepad document titled "preferences". Press CTRL and F at the same time and then type in the box arrow. Type arrow. You should see it come to the line "DISABLE_ARROW_MARKERS:FALSE". Highlight FALSE and press Delete on your keyboard, or backspace. Now type in TRUE. Green arrows are now disabled.

To disable banners, CTRL+F "Banners" and then change FALSE to TRUE with the first line that comes up.

You'da thought CA woulda made it a bit easier to turn off. Bah.

Is there a short cut you can use to put battle speed up to x3? I hate using the mouse to do it, just one of those little irritations. Also, when you press space on the campaign map to speed it up, how do slow it back down? I aint figured that out yet
