Mercenary units.

Is is possible to make other factions mercenary units available to other factions just by typing the new faction name into the EDU.txt,or is it more
complicated than that?:dizzy2:

what in custom battle??? yeh all you have to do is add the faction name (with a comma) and make sure it doesn't have a no_custom part near the top and it should be available for custom battles :thumbsup:

Sorry, I should have said in the campaign game.

hmm. i dont really know that but on ownership in EDU you could change it so for instance only julii or whatever has them....

good luck:2thumbsup:

There's no "faction specific" mercs in the campaign. Mercs in the campaign game are governed by the \Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_mercenaries.txt, which basically rules what mercs pop up where, how often, with how much exp, and so on. That's the one you want to tweak (about the only way I know to get the Yubtsebs for example).

I concur with Watchman. In the campaign game, all mercenaries are available to all factions. This is an aspect of the mercenary_unit attribute in edu. The other factions listed in the ownership line just allow them to use the merc in custom battles as well.

Thanks folks for the lowdown,will look around and try to tweak.
