Prenote: use the hero generator it makes things really easy, and means you only have to manually change one file.

1.0 Introduction
i was thinking on how to create heroes, and then i saw the MTW Hero Creator by Kataar. i then created the hero, it then had translation problems so i had to repair those, it took a day and half to finally relise it and this is what i came to.

1.1 Creating the Hero.
You can create the hero using the Mtw Hero creator, or you can do it manually.
just go to startpos, names, default heroes.
and scroll down until you reach the faction you want, and add the hero with all his stats.
(heroes cannot appear within the first 10 years)

1.2 Fixing Translation.
you can fix the translation by going to loc, names. you go to the following
Quote[/b] ]// Hero forenames
["El"] {"El"}
["Mathilda"] {"Mathilda"}
["Llewellyn"] {"Llewellyn"}
["Fra"] {"Fra"}
["Simon"] {"Simon"}
["Stephan"] {"Stephan"}
["Black"] {"Black"}
["Wat"] {"Wat"}

it goes on further and is followed by surnames.
the one on the left is the Startpos entry, and the one on the right is the translated one which is shown in the game.
if you have made any mistakes it will not save the file, so make sure you dot the i's and cross the t's

I didn't know it had transation problems. Does names have to be edited every time ordoes it sometimes work for you? This comes as a shock for me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif

But I really appreciate that you've pointed it out to me. Thanks buddy http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

yeah well you have to change the setting in the Loc folder
the names file in there otherwise it will say cannot translate.
doesn't matter what it is you mod, you have to change the settings in the names file.
thanks, dessa
