Carthaginian Sacred band to swordmen
Please, I would love some help modifying a couple units.
How can I make the Carthaginian Sacred band into swordsmen?
Which files do I need to modify?
I'm guessing here the exp desc_unit txt, remove spear, make sword primery weapon, but then, I think I have to modify the files for the unit in the combat map, right?
I have no idea which are those.
Thanks.

The second file to alter is Descr_Model_Battle.txt
However the problem is The unit shares the same "soldier" entry in Descr_Model_Battle.txt as Greek Cities' Armoured Hoplites
{greek_armoured_hoplite} . Changes to one in Descr_Model_Battle.txt
effect both .
You could copy the greek_armoured_hoplite text , rename it {say Carthage_armoured_hoplite} and then you could delete the fs_spearman, part of the fs_spearman, fs_swordsman in the new entry then change the name in the Soldier entry in the stats for carthaginian sacred band infantry to match the new soldier entry in Descr_Model_Battle.txt .
The fs_spearman, fs_swordsman are the skeletons to use for primary and secondary weapons respectivly {slingers are a strange exception , they must use fs_slinger_new, fs_slinger_new} so if you don't delete FS_spearman, , you would either have them using swords like they were spears , or mabey crash the game {might not though} .

Thanks!
So, I can copy and paste the files and create a new unit using the files for the Sacred band and still keep the original sacred band?

Is this text the one in exp desc_unit text or desc model battle txt?

So, I have to copy and paste the files in Model_battle.txt, make them match with desc_unit.txt, and that's it?
What about the name of the unit?
How can I change it to "Suffette Guard" or something like that?
I'm sorry for so many questions.
Thanks!
