This is a quick guide to disabling the Green Arrows and Unit Banners in Medieval 2: Total War.


Disabling the Green Arrows

1. Go to your "Medieval II Total War" folder.
2. Find the file preferences.cfg.
3. Right click on it and open it using notepad. (If the file is not there or is empty, start M2TW and go to the main menu, then quit.)
4. Scroll down to the [game] section and find the line that has:

'disable_arrow_markers = 0'

And change it to this:

'disable_arrow_markers = 1'

The Green Arrows are now disabled.

If using Windows 7 your preference file is located (copy and paste into Explorer)

Disabling the Unit Banners
