Housecarles better work at Hastings since they were the main part of the saxon army.
Typo's eh? not good news. I think its time for some Mavis Beacon typing lessons. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

has anyone found whether certain units can only be played by certain factions. io'm not sure but sometimes the game would crash for no good reason and i thought it might be that

many units seem to look exactly alike is this because of the multitude or because this is a demo and not all units have the proper unit graphics yet.

Ijast played as Saladin with a slave army, made entirely of Ghulam Cav. and Mamluk Cav.
When I will py as the Egyptians in the game, I will have a slave Empire.

MamlukHandgun sucks. 6o guns went off and it only killed 2 dudes at point blank range.
I seriously can't get he Berber Camels to work, I use BerberCamel as their name.
Are you sure you got them to work?

Kraxis, Try the Battle for Iberia at Barrocas site or the doragon site for mods. Berber Camels are featured there.

is it possible to make a new unit, different sprites and all. Cause a jedi would be mighty nice
Strangely it worked...
I was one of the first to try as I'm a friend of Shadeswolf, back then I could not get it to work, now it works. And I won after my right got rolled up.
Odd that I could not add them into my own mod.

NARF,
maybe
BUT before you begin...
...where is it now...
and i was going to point you at a thread that has dropped from the board - damn,
ah well,
go to Clan Doragon's Portal and then to the Shogun section,
The Library in the Shogun section has an article on doing this in STW,
as for MTW, far more complex,
until I have a release copy in my hot little hands I won't be able to tell you HOW to succeed,
OR even if it is possible, as the Demo reuses sprites, simply assigning them different weapons and shields for different units.
Meaning changing one unit could actually change SEVERAL,
in STW each unit had its own sprites, and thus effecting a change, as i did with the Naginata unit, was (?)simple(?) (rotflmao),
Long, Arduos, Tiring, Monotonous,
Frustrating(at times) and on the whole VERY REWARDING.
wether we will be able to change a unit in MTW remains to be seen.

I have been looking for information on some units,
to design a 'correct' unit icon,
Trebizond Archers
apparently the Byzantine Empire was called Trebizond?
so these are simply Byzantine Archers
PronoiaiAllagion
now this is a hard one
it translates roughly as paranoid exchange!
So what we have are
Paranoid Schizophrenic Cavalry?
now HOW do i design an icon for them?
Byzantine Cavalry
what should ALL these guys look like?
weapon, shield, armour and horse armour for the cav
etc.

by all that im taking it that medeival has lots of units, i gott aplay the demo http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
------------------
there are two kind of killers...one is the justified murder......the other is the justice murder....which one are you?
Barocca...
Trebizond was a city on the coast of the Black sea, I would say two thirds the way from Constantinople to Armenia.
But I will agree that these guys are very Byzantine. Just give them an icon where they are holding a bow... http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
Byzantine Cavalry, no horse armour.
Give them an icon where we see some sort of heavy horse archer. The bow is there, the horse is there and the man is armoured somewhat.
The Allagion, yeah... well, let them have the same icon as the Byzantine Cavalry without the bows.
Have you tried the mod?
