No skirmish on Desert Cavalry?

:oops: I mixed those throwable things up with the Javelin anti-tank missile! Sorry, my bad. :damnmate:

With their low building requirements and relative low cost, skirmishing Jinettes would make the Americas campaign a cakewalk. They'd roll right over Aztec archers and massacre Aztec heavy infantry.

So Kingdoms nerfed Jinettes and decided, to be fair, to nerf Desert Cavalry too.

That is the only thing I can think of that puts any glimmer of rationality into what is an otherwise purely inexplicable blunder.

So open export_descr_unit in americas and change this

Really dumb question time: Where is export_descr_unit? I can't find it.

You have to run the unpacker. There is a batch file for each campaign in the tools folder. The unpacker places the files in the folder:
X:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\campaign\data.
X = hard disk
campaign is the campaign you just unpacked

If you want to edit the grand campaign run the unpacker batch file to unpack all. The EDU is in the data folder

so, does anyone know why they implemented this "cannot_skirmish" feature for most javelin units in the kingdom? at times it is applied even to units called "skirmishers" (welsh skirmishers, for example).

on a side note, i personally find non-skirmishing javelin cavalry to be more accurate with their missiles so i usually take it off skirmish unless i want them to skirmish for some special reason.

I may be dumb but I've finished a New Spain Americas campaign and don't see any way to build Jinette units.

:oops: On one hand, I stand corrected.

On the other, then there's no semi-rational explanation for this change.

Much Thanks. :applause:

You'll need a lot of free disk space as well. ;)
