Hello evryone
I have VERy weird problem.
I seems that there are 3 specific units modding which will result in game crash.
I have modded many of the unit, and even added 10 new ones - no problems, but these particular 3 give me a headdech.

Peasants (yes simple peasants)
Woodsmen
Horse Archers

ANY (yes ANY) change i try to make to them will result in game crashing in about 30 seconds into combat.

As simple as: changing peasant defence from (-4) to (-2) - nothjing else touched, or changing Horse Archers runing speed from 24 to 26 etc.

If i restore all settings to original - evrything works JUST FINE.

i don't have ANY problem moding any other units, and giving them even extrenly out of range numbers - like setting Mounted Sergeants to 15 attack, 15 defence, just for the heck of it.
Anyway anyone got any clue why only those 3 don't like to be modded???

PS Its very important issue for me to get fixed - its standing between me and final release of my MOD http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Try this thread. Modding Units (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=15;t=11501;hl=dhepee)
Modded units can develop some weird spacing problems. Also, there are numerous variables that affect a unit so sometimes it is not an issue of just changing one value but of changing several. Best to make sure that you understand what each column does, Gnome Editor has a brief description for each, and make sure that the changes you are making aren't somehow related to another column that you haven't touched. Best of luck, let us know how it worked for you.

Thanks i read that post. The conclusion basicly si that gnome sometimes saves file incoretly..What i did :instead of changing atk/def/arm all in one try, i changed 1 of them then saved, then changed 2nd - saved etc, now my woodsmen seem work fine with excatly same stats they were crashing before...

....Peasants still don't liek me making changes - stupid levis - I wanted to make then stronger..well if they prefer to be beaten all the time - let them be http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
