Overpowered Cav Units

[mrdun]

I have had this brainwave that cavalry is effecting the gameplay of my campaigns. How would I remove cavalry from the game and if possible keep the generals bodyguards? Is it possible?

[Poulp']

it is

simply delete entries about cav in the export descr building, that should make them un-recruitable

[Red Spot]

decrease attack-stats of increase defensive stats of "all" units and cavalry will end up less powerfull ...

an other way would be to simply change the number of men in a cav-unit


than again what Poulp' said will remove them entirelly ...


edit; as example this is how my legionares and there counter-units are balanced, wich gives a pretty much "rock cissor paper(sp?)" sort of balance

Wow that was quick, and suprisingly easy, thanks guys.

[mrdun]

An afterthought:

Will spawned rebels have cav units?

[Squid]

You'd have to check descr_rebel_factions.txt, it shows what units each type of spawned rebel will have.
