Giving fully armored horse to Armenian Cataphracts... HELP!!!

[Arkeolog4]

Hi again all, it's the annoying modding enthusiast again :D

I want to give the Hai Aznvakan Cataphracts a fully armoured horse like the Khuveshavagane Shahvar and the armoured horse-archers( the brownish armor with a green saddle). I wrote "hellenistic kataphraktoi horse" like the armoured HA as a mount instead of "half armored horse" in the EDU. But against my expectations, it seems to have given my cataphracts an Iberian Lanceari horse, you know with the flower-like thing on their head and blue garments. Now I can see that Lanceari too have "hellenistic Kataphraktoi horse", but isn't it faction specific? If so, why don't they get a horse like the early bodyguard or the armoured HAs? My true reason to give them this horse is to make them look heavier as to go with the 44 charge value I gave them.

This is very important for my ongoing Hayasdan campaign, so please... Thanks already!

EDIT: I kept messing with the EDU and removed the mercenary_unit attribute from the Armenian Cataphracts. As a strange result, they had the horse I wanted but the soldier was the late bodyguard one... And I'm also concerned that removing the attribute may mess with other cavalry units that use the same model... So still no progress for me...

My guess is that it has to do with mercenary_unit but I am not sure. I am having a similar problem and am attempting to rectify it by modifying descr_model_battle.

Actually, shouldn't you keep the merc and assigning the other mount on the DMB? And then the EDU.

I don't get it... In the DMB there are mounts and soldiers, alright. But it seems to assign faction specific textures... :

Take the hellenistic kataphraktoi horse, for example... i really don't get why it would give a "spain" texture to my "romans_scipii" faction...

Finally managed to get this work, with side effects thought. Here's the explanation:

1-Take backups of descr_model_battle and export_descr_unit, because you'll want it to be reversable.

2-Open export_descr_unit and find the nakhararakan aspet:

Now find the 'mount' section and replace 'half armoured horse' with 'hellenistic kataphraktoi horse'. WARNING: Spelling/spacing errors will make your game crash!

Alright, now you're done with the EDU, time for the DMB. In the DMB you have to find the 'hellenikoi kataphraktoi armoured horse' mount:

Now, see the romans_scipii (Hayasdan) and merc texture/model sprite sections? You'll need to copy the romans_scipii one over the merc texture. NOTE: Keep a backup to be able to reverse the effects after you finish the Hai campaign!!!:

This is how it should look like when finished. Have fun! Ah, and don't forget to replace the export_descr_unit in 'sp game edu backup' folder too.
The only side effect I found so far is that the Eleutheroi Lanceari have Hai armoured horses. The Carthaginian one doesn't suffer though and I don't know about Lusotana. If you find any other side effects, please let me know. Btw, I haven't tried messing with the unit cards yet, but if I do, I'll let you know.
