A unit editor,how about?=)

[Hagbard la Suede]

What do you think about it?
You could make your own units with it,and replace factions with it.Without having to dig trough the codes in the Crusader_unit11 file and the build stuff.
Example

Finnish Woodsmen
TYPE:Infantry
ATTACK:Good
Speed:Fast
Armor:low
Morale:low
AttackType:ArmorPiercing
Required buildings:Fort
Trained at:Finland,Sweden.(can select Everywhere here,or add several provinces)

or a new faction?

FactionName:The Scottish
King:King Robert I
Flag:Scottish
Provinces:Scotland,Northumbria

What do you think?=)

Sounds great
how does it work?
This is an idea some other
people were thinking about.
The exact dynamics are still
not known yet.So if you know
how do this well that would
be a big help http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Thanks for chiming in Lord Krazy, I don't speak mod-ese.

Welcome to the Org Hagbard. You are in good hands now. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Certainly something that could be done. It really depends on the functionality you want it to have. Making a simple C, VB or Java program that edits a few text files is not so hard. The problem really comes from the fact that you need someone who can do that, understands the format of the files and is willing to spend the time doing it and changing the format is a subsequent patch effects it.

I may look into it myself, but don't expect me to overcome my terminal laziness anytime soon.

I don't know anything about making these kind of programs im afraid :P
i just got this idea.would be really cool tho
think of making your own custom units and factions =)

OMG THAT would be a brilliant idea If someone could do that it would make the job of modding much easier for those of us like me who tend to get all bollocked up changing unit stats http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif
(well there's at least one of us out there who would see this as a godsend).
I never had this much trouble in grad school. :wink:

What a great idea http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I would love the chance to be able to create my own factions and units. (Oh how i long for a Scotish empire http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif )

I'm afraid i don't have a clue how to do it, but if any of you ever so clever people out there do, I will be Very greatful

It would be great to see this in a new mod.

thanks
