Making units playable for other factions.

I was going to make Spartans and other region-dependent units available to every faction, but when I do it, the unit cards aren't right, how do I change that?

Take a look at the "Make Greek Units Recruitable by the Syracusans" section of this (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=63904) tutorial.

ER's tutorial (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=51750) on adding new units is more general but probably also helpful.

You just need to copy the original Spartan unit card to the UI faction folders of the other factions you want to add to, copy from

data\ui\unit_info\greek_cities to
data\ui\unit_info\macedon

and from

data\ui\units\greek_cities to
data\ui\units\macedon.

If you dont have the UI directory, just create it or unpak the files in the pack folder.

How do I unpack them?

You will have to get Vercingetorix's PAK extractor.

Put the files in and run the extractor from the packs folder (It takes a while) and then cut the data folder that appears in the packs folder onto the root RTW directory. I think there is a tutorial for it somewhere but I can't seem to find it.

Can the Macedonians build Spartans when they conquer Sparta in the vanilla game?
