Robin Hood

[davmarksman]

hi

i enjoy reprogramming games and so i decided to add a new assassin unit.

i found out that in MTW VI
campmap\pieces\Agents

there are the pieces for Robin Hood and Joan of Arc

Can you use them in the normal game ?

[Ludens]

IIRC both are already in the game as historical generals. The French get Joan of Arc as a general if they recruit a unit when she's sixteen, and Robin of Locksly may lead a rebellion in Mercia.

you must train a fedual sergeant...dont you. all the time i got here she was a fedeul sergeant. just as lord the lion. william marshal usually is a chivalric men at arm.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I think they just appear anyway, regardless of the unit. I have had william marshall as a feudal seg, a FMAA and a few others. Same for any other heros

[The Stranger]

hmmm oke. to bad the only reall historic persons in RTW are ancillaries

Indeed. Certain unit types are preferred, but I've had historical generals appear leading a unit of peasants as well.

In the campmaps folder:

Medieval - Total War\campmap\names

there is a file default_heroes.txt

it has Robin hood under rebels names.

"Robin", "of Locksley", 1191, 3, 1, 3, 2, 6, merciful1, GENERAL, ID_MERCIA, 4 //Robin Hood!

it is defined as a General instead of an agent (e.g EMISSARY)

in the "Medieval - Total War\campmap\pieces\Agents"

Robin hood is actually an agent/piece. the images for picking up and moving him are in this folder

Never mind. i used him to create a new assassin unit

why does the assassin differ from normal assassins? is it a strat map assassin or a battlefield one?
