Number of Checkpoints

[SchuetzeM]

While I really like the progress and growth in Conquest, at some point the game loses some "immersion": I really like how you hold on single units and loot enemies to get better weapons.
At some point in time though, I cannot do that much of mico management and leave that part out.
Is there a way - by limiting my own units, research or else - to limit the number of contested checkpoints?

You could check my mod nearby.

Seems like it something that can go with your tastes.

go to [ostfront folder]/resource/gamelogic.pak/set/dynamic_campaign and edit all these file there. Edit the flag section,cp,research point after a match if you want

@rgreat: Looks tempting, will give it a try.
@solidFantasyDisk: Thank you, that's what I have been looking for. Some editing like siwtching experienced tank-crew's vehicle is not too hard. Do the AI's ressources change endogenously?

It's tied to number of days you are into the campaign. Basically number of games/rounds played.

[SchuetzeM]

So it will rise anyway?

Yes

Well, yes, it depends on the number of battles fought.

There are arrays in aformentioned files, depending on campaign length.

{FlagCount "2:5 2:5 2:5 2:5 2:5 2:5 2:5 2:5 2:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 3:5 4:5"} ;// each entry is 1 game played. # of flags enabled : # of flags total on map

I've been playing for ages with a maximum of 3 targets, simply because you can't save in conquest and battles take to long otherwise.

You were able to sucesfully limit the number of flags? When i try it either crashes or just override my editions on this file

You have to be careful when editing any file, the syntax has to be on point.

The beauty in changing the number of flags per match is that a lot of the enemy AI economy is tied to the number of flags on the map: the more flags, the more units the AI gets, essentially.

I played a full campaign with 1 flag on defense and 2 on attack, and I really enjoyed it. Much more small scale, more opportunities for direct control. Absolutely recommend.

Sure. Has been working flawlessly for ages now.
Just remove the 4:5 and you'll never get 4 targets.

How did you change it to get a crash?
