Has anyone tried it with success?
I would like to make a MOD gradually porting RTW to BI, but having no RTW modding skills yet (used to be a MTW modder) I figured that starting small would be much better.

If possible, could anyone post a step-by-step way to import RTW units into BI?

Thanks :bow:

Ok, I was able to figure how to import the unit into BI, there's only one thing that escapes me yet: how do I import the unit card?

Never mind, I found the unit cards tutorial... Everything works fine in custom battles, will begin campaign test shortly.

Yes, it works!
And now, thanks to BI hoplites behaves like they should! (imho)

It shouldn't be too problematic, maybe there can be some incompatible unit tags but nothing impossible to overcome...

Hi there

How did you do it?

Do you need to add the description from export_descr_unit and then the model and sprites?

Thanks

There's a tutorial on importing new units into RTW that can be used to pass units from RTW to BI, works fine.

Thanks Zarax that was very helpful~:)

O modded the vandal and hun hordes to be a little stronger- maybe too strong now. I want to beef the Romans up a bit with some Legionary Cavalry, maybe auxilia archers.

Do it the evil way, give praetorians to the WRE Rebels and watch the old Rome fight again!

Brazen shields would be good. They have a blue model and unit card like the sassanids.

Oh by the way, my new troops have pointy arms and legs. Have you come accross this?

Thanks again

No, I haven't encountered any problem except for the missing officer model (you have to add it separately) and some problems with default textures...
