Are you talking about MP here?

I did wonder if the fatigue had been nerfed to placate MP 'rush' players. I know they used to get upset about it in the STW MP battles.

To allow all armies in the area to enter the battle:

Change "unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 0" to "unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 1"
.... in the file medieval2.preference.cfg

That is what I meant.

Seems a bit strange that they would nerf the fatigue system just to accommodate a potential mod.

Anyway the point is that as things stand fatigue has more or less ceased to be an issue in MTW2. I find myself galloping troops around the battlefield with out giving it much thought at all which never used to be possible.

I don't think they did that to accomodate a mod. I think (and it's just a guess) they toned down fatigue due to larger maps and larger battles. I gave that as an example because it is possble to have absolutely massive battles if your rig permits.

Fatigue matters when you have those large battles. Or, for example, if you have a 10 unit all cavalry army and you go up against a 20 unit infantry heavy army which has a 10 units reinforcement army. Then it matters.

Like you mentioned though it does NOT matter enough in the vast majority of engagements. It should matter more.

I don't know if you played STW, but assuming you did, do you remember what a killer it was just to march your army up too many steep hills. Najinata's and heavy cavalry arrive at the top completely knackered and fit for nothing without a nice long rest. I can even remember having to conduct a Roman style passage of lines for long battles so that my front rank Yari Spearmen could catch their breath.

Yeap, I did. I remember that very well. That definetly should be in M2:TW. You can climb huge mountain and have a fight on top. It's excessive. Actyuaally in S:TW I never even moved because I wanted everyone fresh. Now yo can move very freely. However it is hard and it does hurt when you use small all cavalry armies, outnumbered all the time.

Hmm.. ideas... ideas.... I wonder if anyone has already modded would you share your tips ?
