Sab'yn and Client Rulers

[bovi]

ok so I dump the above code into my export_descr_buildings file? Anything else I need to do? Thanks for the fix btw.

No. Yes. You need to choose the general (type of bodyguard) for each province. There is no general unit called YOUR GENERAL HERE.

[Moros]

For northern Arabian cities (Bosra,...) a lonchophoroi like unit could be used, as they were a popular unittype in the later game. Other arab cities, well I guess the Saby'n citizen cavalry unit is the next best thing. Though possibly the Saby'n noble infantry could be used as well.

Okay,
how do I assign the Arabian bodyguard unit as a gov4 recruitable unit?

What is unclear? IAmPhet has posted the code, now replace with your general choice.

Followed the instructions above and still doesn't work for me.

(I don't know, if you're sill interested in an answer, but for everyone, who encounters the same problem)

There are two possible positions to enter your text. One ist for the nomads and another ist for the gov IV buildings. The second one is needed to allow the recruitment of generals in gov IV buildings, but I'd recommend to copy the lines in both passages.

But I've an additional question, how or where is it defined, that a unit is a general for recruitment. I.e. I want to make an Arabian General Unit with the same skin and stats as the Sabean Medium Cavalry, what do I've to do for that?

PS: Sorry for my bad english, I'm german.

Your English is fine. If you do not understand my English, kann ich das ganze aber auch per PM auf Deutsch an dich senden.

To add the attribute "general" to a unit, open the "export_descr_unit.txt" and add to the line "attributes" this "general_unit".

like this:

attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, general_unit, no_custom

Be sure, that if you use the trivial script to launch EB, you have to change the file found here:

Thx, no problem to understand (written) english, only to use it myself ;-).

Thank you very much, I will see, if i'm able to do that ^^.

I did not mentioned it, but you are making a backup before changing anything, do you?!
