Features

  • []Your scout's Scouting skill adds a speed bonus to party movement on the campaign map[/]

    []Bonus Scouting XP is gained while moving, scaled by terrain difficulty[/]

    []Everything is configurable via CTXP.config in the mod folder[/]

    Configurations

    Speed Bonus Factor

    Controls how much each point of Scouting skill boosts movement speed.

    The bonus is a percentage of base speed, similar to the Cavalry bonus.

    speedFactor=0. 002

    Example: At Scouting 200 with default factor, you get +40% movement speed.

    Flat Speed Bonus

    By default, the speed bonus is a percentage of base speed — smaller parties get a bigger absolute bonus.

    Set to true for a flat bonus that stays the same regardless of army size.

    useFlatSpeedBonus=false

    Note: with flat mode, you may want a higher speedFactor (e.g. 0. 005) since the bonus is no longer multiplied by base speed.

    Party Filter

    Choose which parties receive the scouting speed bonus. Combine multiple with ";" (OR logic).

    appliesTo=1

    • []1 - your Main Party[/]

      []2 - your Faction (all parties in your kingdom)[/]

      []3 - everyone (any party with a scout)[/]

      []4 - all Lord Parties[/]

      []5 - your Clan[/]

      Examples: 1;5 = your party + your clan, 1;4;5 = your party + lords + your clan

      Custom Scouting XP

      Grants bonus Scouting XP every in-game hour while moving, based on terrain:

      gainBonusXP=true

      • []Water: 20 XP[/]

        []Mountain / Snow / Dune: 15 XP[/]

        []Steppe / Desert / Swamp / Forest: 10 XP[/]

        []Plain / Lake / River / Canyon: 5 XP[/]

        Set to false to disable and only use the game's native XP gain.

        Bonus XP Factor

        Multiplies the bonus XP gained from difficult terrain. Has no effect if gainBonusXP is false.

        bonusXpFactor=1. 0

        • []1. 0 (Default) - full bonus XP (e.g. Forest: 5+5=10)[/]

          []0. 6 - 60% bonus XP (e.g. Forest: 5+3=8)[/]

          []0. 0 - no bonus XP (e.g. Forest: 5+0=5)[/]
