To make them have different stats, you'll have to make a new entry in export_descr_unit. Just copy the section of 'warband axe scythian' and change the name (after 'type') to something new. You don't have to change the model (the soldier line) though if it's already working fine for you. Edit the stats to whatever you want.

To make a new description you'll have to add entries in data\text\export_units.txt. Copy the format already there and replace the unit name with the dictionary line from export_descr_unit.txt.

I think that's it, anyone else?

Can you post what you have for the unit entry and the model entry? Also, make sure you run RTW with the show_err option to give you error messages when you crash. Post that too.

make sure that newly created unit in export_descr_unit does not go over the limits allowed in RTW.

guess line should be :

texture scythia, data/models_unit/textures/unit_barb_warband_scythia.tga

and not

texture scythia, data/models_unit/textures/unit_barb_warband_scythia_.tga

Ok i will explain this the best that i can about this issue..

1.my texture works fine

what i am asking is how do i make this elite_frank_infantry into a whole new unit where i do not have to use the same scythian model in the txt model_battle file thing..where it would have its own line and sprites..that is what i am asking

2.i would like to know how to change the units name in the descriptions..also to chnage it's traits and strenghts..

if you can help i will be thankful..

You need to add extra entry at the end of export_descr_unit just as long as texture lines are added in descr_model_battle you can then tweak units strengh and the rest.Pretty much like with Armenian and Seleucid legionaries that use same models as Roman.

For 1) Do you have a new model for the soldier or are you looking to reuse another one?
