[Kratos]

In this thread you can post your questions about editing units in RTW. Right now ill give you a few of mine.1 I'm wondering how to change faction/unit colors. For example make gallic colors black and red. Im wondering if i could give greeks some good swordsmen like:knight: so I can be like this :coffeenews: when my enemy goes like this:surrender: and ill laugh something like this~:joker: .

In this entire _forum_ you can post questions about editing units in RTW - however first you should always check out the guides in the Scriptorium. For example this tutorial (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=51750) tells you all about adding a new unit to a faction.

To change faction colours is a big job, to change the banners follow this tutorial (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=50457), to change the look on the battlefield you need to create new textures for each unit (follow this tutorial (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=23934)), to change the colours on the strat map you need to change the RGB numbers in descr_sm_factions,

You may even want to copy and paste your modding work into other word processing software, such as Microsoft Word. Word is definitely easier on the eye ~D Then just copy and paste your finished results back into notepad (or wherever), save and close.

I tend to do this myself when I'm writing a long post on here, since your account will automtically log you out after a short period of time. At least then you have a backup of what you post, and can't lose anything after logging-in again, everyone knows how frustrating that is... ~D
