Guide to editing RTW units ( in-high Def)

First read through the whole thing then follow the steps. I will be using () aloud for telling how to get there or important information.

- Click on the start tab on the left-bottom side of your screen. click on it then click on run. type paste - C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\ into run. then click on OK. Enter the folder Rome - Total War, then enter the folder called data. Inside data find export_descr_unit, (it's usually at the very end, it was for me).

- Scroll down till you find a unit you want to edit. For example I'll be using the roman_peasent. Here is what you should see -
(sorry the lines arn't seperate, for some reason the won't on the forums)type roman peasant
dictionary roman_peasant ; Peasants

voice_type Light_1

(sorry the lines arn't seperate, for some reason the won't on the forums)Were going to start out small so first change -
soldier roman_peasant, 60, 0, 0.7
to -
soldier roman_peasant, 40, 0, 0.7
(the limit for the number of men is 60)

Next change -
stat_pri 1, 0, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, knife, 25 ,1
to -
stat_pri 7, 0, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, knife, 25 ,1
(don't go to high when editing for defense or attack. for some reason the game dosn't like it.)

Next change -
stat_pri_armour 0, 1, 0, flesh
to -
stat_pri_armour 3, 1, 0, flesh
if we went real hight just for the peasent it wouldn't make sense.

(optional) - make a blank line above attributes
