And risk the wrath of veterans who've probably seen this asked 1000 times.

Can anyone point me to a post/site/whatever that could give me a clue about Crusader_Build files? I have no idea what the numbers are, how mods with CB files access them rather than older ones etc.

Have no idea how you guys figured it out but I stand in awe (mouth agape, arms akimbo).

Thanks and DON'T YELL!

Cid, when you open the file of either the crusader build or unit file, at the top, is an explanation of what each field represents. The explanation is not extensive or tremendously clear but it is the start I used to begin modding.

If anyone has done a good guide to either file, I would be interested in it as well.

Haven´t done a handbook for it so far ... but make sure you don´t use "tab" since it brings the enire file in disorder.

Make a security save file ... and test that MTW is running everytime you applied a few changes. If you MOD it all and make a mistake before testing it ... you will never find it. Always make small steps. it takes time, but doing the same work two or three times because something wouldn´t work is even more annoying.

...or just get excel and download the xls files which have descriptions on top and everything. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

once the patch comes out Target's special Excel files will be useless. We can hope the devs will supply us with updated files. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
