    can I just double check what you meant by question?

    you can change some bits of text that appear in game - like unit names in export_units.txt

    eg
    {legio_lanciarii} Legio Lanciarii

    you can change the second part in bold (outside the {} brackets) to display a different name in game, without altering other files.

    Is that the sort of thing you meant? or could you screen shot where the bit you want to alter appears.

    Can you change the text appearing in the unit description,too? As in,if I were to change "Greek Heavy Cavalry" to "Xystophoroi",can the text in the description be changed to match?

    Ah - sorry for the misunderstanding - see what you mean now!

    You can tell who never plays vanilla / historic mods...


    Only thing you can do is get rid of that line coming up completely - if you take the 'legionary_name' attribute off their EDU entry. (I think - I'll go crawl back into my corner now....)

    Thank you, but I want to change the inscription, not eliminate it.

    Yep. Go to data/text/export_units.txt. All units have 3 entries there that use the unit's disctionary tag (second line of export_descr_units.txt entry) as a base.

    Code:
    {unit_dictionary_tag}	Unit name
    
    {unit_dictionary_tag_descr}
    Long unit description (the one you see on the UI card for example)
    
    {unit_dictionary_tag_descr_short}
    Short description (the one you see when you mouse-over units in CB selection menu for example)
