Changing Unit Name

**anelious phyros** · 06-04-2008, 15:14

I searched the org for a tutorial on changing unit names but I couldn't find one. But i'm not good at finding anything really. So could you guys help me out? I've been moddifing the Merc Hoplite and it's now the Macadons killing machine. But I want to change the name and that's why i'm asking.

Thanks,

btw, here's a picture of it so far. Not much on the outside but they can beat silver sheild pikemen without loosing one man.

I PMed you how to change unit names.

Macedonians didn't use the lambda symbol like on that soldiers aspis. That was unique to the Spartans (it stood for "Laconia).

Then why did Rome - Total War change it to Macadonic colors?
Oh well, thanks and yea I got your Pm. Wow, I thought it took alot but luckily not.
