Question - What sucks more than a mega cool uber unit that you can't build (only available as mercenaries)?
Answer - A mega cool uber unit that you can't build AND that has only TWELVE GUYS in it.
Enter the Sherwood Foresters from stage left...
Mod 1 - Remove the MUSLIM entry from the second line of the SherwoodForesters entry in VIKINGS_UNIT_PROD.TXT but be careful to leave a TAB. WordPad works fine for me.
Mod 2 - Make the unit 40 guys (maybe 60). If Joms Vikings can be 60 guys, I am tempted to do the same for the Foresters. While you are in the editing mood open up CRUSADERS_UNIT_PROD11.TXT and make the Hashishin at least 40 guys as well. I would suggest leaving the unit cost unchanged - up to you.
Now you have 2 novel and interesting units that can KICK SOME ARSE, rather than just decorate the battlefield.
Another option is to enable the Foresters to be built by anyone in particular provinces in Wales. Giving the Welsh exclusive use of Foresters (and Welsh Bandits - another kick ass unit) might be too much, and it rarely pays to be overly nice to Taffys. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif
Anyone else modding the Foresters and Hashishin?
