Boii Confederacy

Hello. I have almost finished a sub mod for EB. I am replacing the casse with the boii confederacy. I am yes allowing you to play as the land of the fullstacks. I am making this mostly for myself but I will post it just in case. Now, my one problem. How do you change the captain, general, diplomat, and spy models on the campaign map? I just can't figure it out.

What faction is Boii Confederacy ????
Some sort of barbarians ???

The boii are the celtic people that lived in Eburonum and Bononia. I am making a single faction that allies those two cities. I am replacing the casse.

The models_strat folder contains the models and textures and the descr_models_strat.txt is where they are assigned to the various classes. The are both in the EB/Data folder.

Cool. Now, How does someone change the faction specific skins for units. For example, the boii cingetos are red when they are for the rebels, but blue when they are for the casse. How would I make them red for the casse?

Find descr_model_battle it tell the game what factions get what skin for a unit.

Here's the entry for the Boii Cingetos so you know what to look for.

You will also need to switch around the UI pictures so that the image on the unit card will match the new skin.

Go have a look in the modding section, there are loads of tutorials that explain all this.
