Anyone? How do I make existing units available to other units?

[Nerouin]

Also, how do I do the oliphaunt thingie? Is it only post-patch?? The patch was taken down- it's no longer on the TW page!

[Red Harvest]

When I checked TWC a few seconds ago the patch .exe was still there. Are you sure it was taken down?

You should be able to make other units available to other factions in the ownership section of unit in the export_descr_unit.txt file. Looks like the building requirement is in export_descr_buildings.txt. Probably would be best to check in the modders Dungeon.
