Title: Removing land combat
Post by: Smashfist on November 03, 2014, 04:18:21 AM
Hi all

I'm checking in to see if anyone knows a way to remove land combat from the game. I play EaW mainly for the space battles - I don't find land battles interesting in the slightest (in either EaW OR TR). Can anyone point me in the right direction to removing land battles? I can't see any reason to NOT disable or remove land battles (and have the planet owned by the person with space superiority). After all, Star Destroyers (and I would imagine Star Cruisers) have been noted to carry troops for themselves, so it would make sense to drop a couple of capital ships in and take control of a planet.

Cheers

This shouldn't be too difficult. Just snoop around Planets.XML and Planets_Regions.XML and check how planets like Pesitiin and Tsoss Beacon differ from other planets. Then apply similar settings for every other planet. I would also advise you to use some proper text editing program like Notepad++ so that you don't need to go through every planet one by one to make changes.

Also make sure to increase the cash income from planets. No ground slots means no mining facilities, so in order to avoid slowing the game to a crawl there needs to be enough cash available to build ships.
