Saka Armored Nobles

[bobbin]

I noticed they have a entry in the EDU (separate from the Saka Early Bodyguard) and was wondering why they are not in the game/ reason for their absence?

[gamegeek2]

I modded them in.

[bobbin]

yeah me too :2thumbsup: they're quite a handy unit to have around which kinda puzzles me as to why they were left out.

I believe back in the day when Saka's roster was limited they were made into a separate unit that was recruitable to give the faction a heavy cavalry.

How do I mod them in ?

[bobbin]

find the export_descr buildings.txt file in the EB directory open it and find the entries for the nomad military buildings (its around the bottom of the file) you should see lists of units that each of the buildings can recruit, all you need to do is insert this line at the end of that list

recruit "steppe missile cavalry saka armored nobles" 0 requires factions { pontus, }

as a general rule i add the line everytime after this entry

recruit "steppe cavalry saka cataphracts" 0 requires factions { pontus, }

oh and make sure you have a copy of the original export_descr_buildings.txt incase something goes wrong.

Saka are quite powerful enough without the extra Nobles! FM's should be all you need, unless you are planning on overrunning the entire map.

What can i say I just love my horses, even added in the late bodyguards as a unit too.:charge:

Precisely.
