Is there some way to enable the Varangian Guard in the Late period on SP skirmish? Also, is there anyway to make various units such as Clansmen and Almughavars playable in skirmish? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank, Lehesu http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Lehesu, make a back of the file 'crusaders_unit_prod11.txt'. Then, open it in wordpad (not a word processor) and look for this line starting with 'VarangianGuard'. It should look like this -

VarangianGuard INFANTRY 500 10 2 0 80 60 1 OK ORTH_LOYALISTS(-5), ORTH_REBELS(5) POVERTY_STRICKEN(26.7), DESPERATE_DEFENCE(267), CATHOLIC_EXPANSIONIST(213.6), CATHOLIC_NAVAL_EXPANSIONIST(213.6), CATHOLIC_TRADER(267), CATHOLIC_CRUSADER_TRADER(267), CATHOLIC_EXPANSIONIST_CRUSADER(213.6), CATHOLIC_DEFENSIVE_CRUSADER(320.4), POPE(400.5), CATHOLIC_DEFENSIVE(320.4), CATHOLIC_ISOLATIONIST(400.5), ORTHODOX_DEFENSIVE(320.4), ORTHODOX_EXPANSIONIST(213.6), ORTHODOX_STAGNANT(267), MUSLIM_PEACEFUL(267), MUSLIM_EXPANSIONIST(213.6), MUSLIM_DEVOUT(213.6), BARBARIAN_RAIDER(106.8), REBELS(267), CLOSE_TO_SUPPORT_LIMIT(133.5) { SPEARMAKER3, ROYAL_PALACE } DEFENDER,STRONG EARLY, HIGH YES HEIGHT( 85 ), RADIUS( 25 ), SCALE( 120 ), PROJECTILE_TYPE( NONE ), SAMURAI( YES ), MARCH_SPEED( 6 ), RUN_SPEED( 10 ), CHARGE_SPEED( 11 ), MIN_TURNSPEED( 2 ), MAX_TURNSPEED( 8 ), TURN_TO_MOTION_SPEED( 8 ), MAX_INMOTION_TURN( 96 ), FORMATION_WIDTH_SPACING( 60 ), FORMATION_LENGTH_SPACING( 60 ), ENGAGEMENT_THRESHOLD( 1500 ), CHARGE_BONUS( 4 ), MELEE_BONUS( 4 ), DEFENCE_BONUS( 5 ), ARMOUR_LEVEL( 4 ), HONOUR_LEVEL( 6 ), AMMO( 0 ), FORMATIONS_PREFERRED_NUM_ROWS( 4 ) NO own_unit_tooltip1, own_unit_tooltip2, other_unit_tooltip1, other_unit_tooltip2 HLPLARSH, YES, YES BYZANTINE Missile, Shocktroop, Spear, Cavalry SKIRMISH(0), ADVANCE_PARTY(1),

In that line, you have to change EARLY, HIGH to ALL_PERIODS. You will then be able to build then in all eras.

Gothic-Lobster, the patch removed the bug which allowed anyone to build Swiss armoured pikemen anywhere. Now, you can only build them in Switzerland.

Do you make a backup of the line or just change it? Thanks though, you are the first person (out of 3 forums http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif ) that has been able to answer this question
