This is a list of my recently modded units, and the file is listed above the entries and marked with a smilee :duel:
the model_flexi_unit line for the Myrmidon can be found at this link (the unit cards need to be renamed, so just replace Spatan_royal_gaurd with Myrmidons) http://www.twcenter.net/downloads/db/?mod=536
while this link gives detail on how to add them in, as well as other unit info
(especially if you want the myrmidons to be the spartan royal gaurd)

i find this link a really great thread and it has made me a proficient unit modder(except for textures)
Just edit lines in the so they alll fit on one line
{d} The Derk
{d_descr}
derky men are superbly derky
{d_descr_short}
derky men are superbly derky

you may have to do this in some of the edu lines as well
(edu means export_descr_unit)
at the top of the edu file, there is a guide to what everything is for...experiment a little
all new modders: make backup files and proofread everything (first makking it on notepad using the file as a guide) before puutting it on, that way, if you fudge up, you just have to load up the backup file(when saving the backup, sy, instead of calling it i_am_a_monkey call it i_am_a_monkey BACKUp...just remove the add on when replacing the file) in order to save, go to the file icon in the top-left corner of the screen and select "save as" and place it in the desired location.
place all of my entries at the bottom of the file listed(with an exception to the export_descr_buildings section) place those in the barrcks, stables, or archery range section. place right below your other greek units in the line of the desired construction level of the building. note: put entries in all following construct levels of the section.

{myrmidons} Myrmidons
{myrmidons_descr}
These are the soildiers modeled after Achilles own soildiers. Best known for their exploits in the Trojan War these soildiers are very courageous and experienced. They were so famous, Homer just had to write about them. This history makes them all heroes to the man, and an inspiration to all on the battlefield. Achilles would be proud. .\n\n They carry the Eagle of Olympus as a sign of leadership and to inspire the troops. They also fight in the traditional fashion like hoplites, with a long thrusting spear and the large red round hoplon shield incrusted with the gold symbol of Sparta. They are also protected by an iron breastplate with an external layer of silver.\n\n
Myrmidons: An elite unit in Greek Army. A small group of selected soldiers who acted as shock troops. Most famous for their bravery and courage in the Trojan War. Renowned troops, who make the enemy flee!
{myrmidons_descr_short}
The famous soldiers commanded by Achilles during the Trojan War. An elite in the greek army, they have never lost a battle. Inspiration to all friendly units, and a cause of fear to all enemy!
¬----------------
{greek_triarii} Greek Triarii
{greek_triarii_descr}
These men are proof that desperate times call for desperate measures. In a last ditch effort to save thier nation against the Macedonians, they dressed up thier hoplites in roman armor. The macedonians, who are completely afraid of romans, fled in terror away from the hoplites. Proven to be a good idea, the greeks are attemting to use them to confuse any roman invaders. This, however, is yet to be determined. .\n\n Completely decked out in the latest roman armour, Except for one minor detail...they made it better.
{greek_triarii_descr_short}
Better than the original roman version, these troops are a scare tactic yet to be tested against the romans.
¬----------------
{greek_archer_elite} Pharaoh's Bowmen of Greece
{greek_archer_elite_descr}
Due to Alexander The Great conquering part of Egypt, a massive influx of egyptians poured into Greece. As they grew older, they decided to fight for their new homeland. These troops kept their original customs and beliefs, but are still supported by the gods. Many Greeks detest these fine archers (most of them are jealous anyway), so they have a low standing with their fellows. All of this will likely change, however, if they get the chance to fight for their country.
{greek_archer_elite_descr_short}
Men whose parents had meved to greece during Alexanders time, they are superb bowmen, yet are loathed by the greeks. Let them earn honour and respect on the battlefield!
¬----------------
{spartan_scythed_chariots} Scythed Chariots of Agamemnon
{spartan_scythed_chariots_descr}
Modeled after Agamemnon's own chariot, these scythed chariots are fearsome devices, covered in scythe blades to cut down any infantry foolish enough to stand when charged. Metal blades stick out from each axle like malign horns to cut down infantry. They are, however, somewhat uncontrollable! These units are not only so keen to attack the enemy that they will do so without orders, but also can run amok and attack anyone - friend or foe alike - who happens to be nearby. These are not subtle troops, and their chief power lies in a headlong charge into an enemy formation. Each chariot is pulled by powerful horses, and the crew is heavily armoured.

¬----------------
{greek_cavalry_archers} Greek Mounted Archers
{greek_cavalry_archers_descr}
Horse-archery is the defining characteristic of warfare on the wide-open steppes of the east, and the greeks have made use of this.Most men of greece are highly practiced in this deadly art from an early age. These archers are disciplined, following the moral code of the greeks. They are equiped with very good equipment , including coats of mail that hang to the rider’s knees when he is in the saddle. They also carry swords, and are not afraid to close for a melee if the opportunity presents itself but are sensible enough not to hurl themselves into the fray without orders.
{greek_cavalry_archers_descr_short}
Well armoured archers, the greeks have made use of the sythian way of life to influence their men. Far quicker than normal archers, these men provide an excellent battle opportunity.

Re: new units have arrived for rtw!
I'm sure it was good work (I can't load RTW here though..) but are these supposed to be fantasy units or historical?
If they're supposed to be fantasy, I like the good imagination. If they're supposed to be historical though.. I'll just wait for the EB team to come. All I know is that the Trojan war era didn't have hoplites, and those units wouldn't have survived a thousand years...
Re: new units have arrived for rtw!
completly fantasy...nothing historical about them.
Re: new units have arrived for rtw!
Re: new units have arrived for rtw!
no screenshots...for some reason, its taking a picure of the backround (aka, im getting a black image in adobe when i check it out)
if you can help me out, i would be very thankful.
Re: new units have arrived for rtw!
Re: new units have arrived for rtw!
Did you model those units or did you just take existing unit models and give them to different factions??
Re: new units have arrived for rtw!
Whoa :dizzy2:
:2thumbsup: sweet man
You actually did that yourself?
Re: new units have arrived for rtw!
yes i did...all except for the the myrmidons(downloaded offa internet as the spartan royal gaurd), but the skins are not mine...they were already in the game.
