I'm new to the forums and have a few questions. Any help is much appreciated.
I cant post in the Dungeon modding forum. Am I doing something wrong? Also, I dont seem to be able to choose an avatar. Am I missing something?
Since I cant post where I should for modding questions, is it appropriate to ask them here?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Org, Frederick Barbarossa http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif
There is a short period of confinement for New Patrons where they are limited to posting in only a few places in order to allow the Org's staff to observe their behavior and ensure only the highest quality posting. It's quite painless and they usually keep the poking and prodding to a minimum. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
If I understand it correctly, you can reply to topics in the Dungeon but you are, as of yet, unable to start a new one.
In order to encourage participation in discussions, avatar control is restricted to those with 500 posts or more.
If you would like to start a new topic in the dungeon, or are otherwise unable to post there, just place a topic here in the Entrance Hall telling us what you'd like to say and where you want it to go and one someone will transcribe it to the intended destination for you.
Enjoy your stay

Hi Sorry if this question has been asked already. if it has I cant find it. What would I have to do to mod the game so that Varangian Guards are available to the byzantines in all periods?
Thanks very much http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
It's an easy change.
Step one, make a backup of this file -> crusaders_unit_prod11.txt
Step two, open above file into wordpad (or Gnome if you have that) and look for the line that starts with VarangianGuard
Step three, scroll sideways until you see this text -> EARLY, HIGH
Step four, change this text, change all of this text (and only this text)(including the quotes) to ALL_PERIODS
Step five, save and done
You should then be able to train VG (Varangian Guard) in late era.
This is the difference -
VarangianGuard INFANTRY 500 10 2 0 80 60 1 OK ORTH_LOYALISTS(-5), ORTH_REBELS(5) POVERTY_STRICKEN(26.7), etc) { SPEARMAKER3, ROYAL_PALACE } DEFENDER,STRONG EARLY, HIGH YES HEIGHT( 85 ), RADIUS( 25 ), SCALE( 120 ), PROJECTILE_TYPE( NONE ), SAMURAI( YES ), MARCH_SPEED( 6 ), RUN_SPEED( 10 ), CHARGE_SPEED( 11 ), MIN_TURNSPEED( 2 ), MAX_TURNSPEED( 8 ), TURN_TO_MOTION_SPEED( 8 ), MAX_INMOTION_TURN( 96 ), FORMATION_WIDTH_SPACING( 60 ), FORMATION_LENGTH_SPACING( 60 ), ENGAGEMENT_THRESHOLD( 1500 ), CHARGE_BONUS( 4 ), MELEE_BONUS( 4 ), DEFENCE_BONUS( 5 ), ARMOUR_LEVEL( 4 ), HONOUR_LEVEL( 6 ), AMMO( 0 ), FORMATIONS_PREFERRED_NUM_ROWS( 4 ) NO own_unit_tooltip1, own_unit_tooltip2, other_unit_tooltip1, other_unit_tooltip2 HLPLARSH, YES, YES BYZANTINE Missile, Shocktroop, Spear, Cavalry SKIRMISH(0), ADVANCE_PARTY(1),
