Spartan

[Anubis King]

I was curious if you guys could show me a way to mod the soldiers of Sparta. I want to mod them (because I am bored with the game a bit) and want a nice change. I think it would fun to play the game hollywood style like the movie 300 (which most people dont seem to like). I thought it was a great movie. BUt please help with the mod.

Thanks in advance!!!

What do you have in mind?

[Anubis King]

Just making the spartan soldiers a bit more stronger than other units in the game. Maybe 3 or 4 times the strength of others in all aspects.

Well, that would be crazy, because you could own the entire map with the one starting spartans you get. But I will walk you through the process. I would suggest downloading one of the 300 spartans out right now.

ahh, ok. I will show you how to edit the Spartan Unit.


type greek hoplite spartan
dictionary greek_hoplite_spartan ; Spartan Hoplites
category infantry
class spearmen
voice_type Medium_1
soldier greek_hoplite_spartan_pylos, 40, 0, 1.3

stat_pri_attr spear, spear_bonus_8
stat_sec 12, 3, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, sword, 25 ,1

stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 2, 1190, 460, 120, 180, 1190

Now change it to something like this:


type greek hoplite spartan
dictionary greek_hoplite_spartan ; Spartan Hoplites
category infantry
class spearmen
voice_type Medium_1
soldier greek_hoplite_spartan_pylos, 40, 0, 1.3
attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap, very_hardy
formation 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, square, phalanx
stat_health 20, 0
stat_pri 50, 40, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr spear, spear_bonus_8
stat_sec 35, 40, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, sword, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 3, 9, 5, leather
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 2
stat_ground 2, 0, 0, 0
stat_mental 20, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 2, 1190, 460, 120, 180, 1190
ownership greek_cities


That might help.Just copy and paste the second code over the original.

Check the guide for adding new units in the scriptorium to find out what all that means.

Thanks alot for the help. Well after I play with them I will also play against them.....Might be interesting.

I also have no clue where to find that file. First time modding. could you help with that?

THanks

Oh, sorry about that. It is in your RTW directory, and then in the data folder. It is called export_descr_unit.txt.

click ctrl f , and an option will come up called find. put in

type greek hoplite spartan


then copy the code I gave you over the original.
