Quick EDU question

[MerlinusCDXX]

Is this, "steppe missile hallatamtithanvare" (Elamite Archers), the name used in the EDU for the Persian Heavy Archers (Thanvare Parsig)? The reason I ask this is that as I was searching through the EDU for an entry for the Persian Heavies, I was unable to find either name (English or Native), but as I was checking the steppe units section, I found the entry for the Elamites, and the characteristics seemed to match the Persian Heavies to some extent. I just want to make a stat comparison between these guys and the Syrioi Toxotai, but that's a bit difficult when I'm unable to find the EDU entry I need.

This is in no way a criticism of any kind, since I know that changing everything around in the EDU for each version is a real pain in the arse, and it works just as well if you don't change every word or description around.




Oops, wrong forum (I think), feel free to move this, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Go to the folder data\text\ open export_units.txt. Here you find all unit descriptions including the ingame names (native and English descriptive), example:



{celtic_skirmisher_cavalry_curepos} Curepos (Gallic Mercenary Light Cavalry)

{celtic_skirmisher_cavalry_curepos_descr}
Impetuous\nHardy\nCan Form Wedge\n\nCurepos are mercenary Gallic light cavalry. Comparatively well-trained to many of their enemies' cavalry, they are invaluable to a Gallic army. They throw javelins at a distance, depleting an enemy before charging with their main spears. They are trained to throw javelins, charge, and withdraw repeatedly, and they do it well. They are so named for their speed, rather than equipment. A bronze helmet, shield, and their weapons may not seem the equipment of any partiuclarly great cavalry, but they are a solid medium cavalry force, capable of running down routers, defeating light cavalry, and skirmishing if necessary.\n\nHistorically, Gauls were rather fond of cavalry in their later years. While Celts were originally more based upon infantry and chariots, and still were built around varying degrees of infantry, the value of extremely mobile cavalry was constantly more apparent. With that in mind, they developed good quality cavalry that could be used as both shock cavalry and ambushers. These cavalry were a large basis of what the Romans employed as their Gallic cavalry auxilia, though a bit heavier than the Gallic originals.

Curepos are comparatively well-trained, spear and javelin-armed mercenary Gallic light cavalry.

The text in red is the entry you have to search for in EDU.

AH, thanks

I had a little trouble finding it, but a manual search did the trick. I had the names backwards (persian heavy instead of heavy persian), man these ctrl+f searches are nitpicky. It is the one I thought it was though.

thanks much for your help
