Thread: Changing Unit Weapons and Stats
I had some simple questions:
1) How do you change a unit's weapon/type? For example, I am trying to change Numidian Skirmisher's melee weapon from a spear to a knife, yet when I change the tech type in the expor_descr_unit txt file it does nothing, although I do believe it does change it "physically," though not visually... this is what I've done to the descr txt file:
2) Would changing the stats this way cause any CTDs? Also, is the stat_heat value really inverted?

the thing is, he'll still have a spear on his model.
and making javelins AP is a really bad idea. plus, it makes the pilum pointless (negates its advantage I mean)

I quite disagree... I did a test with the numidian skirmishers and there is no difference when attacking light troops... however, when throwing javelins at heavy infantry, such Heavy Libyans, they actually kill 15-20 (using all 6 javelins) as opposed to a really unrealitic 1-2... this is, of course, when the unit is in tight mode... in loose mode the libyans only lost 8-10... quite balanced imo...
But that is my main question... how do you change the actual weapon model... I know it can be done... for the EB online tourney I know they changed the spear for some Chatti spearmen in the edu...
Or does it somehow require to make a whole new numidian skirmisher model with a knife...??? O_O

You would need to change the model to carry a spear, so unless you know how or can find someone to do it, I'm afraid your stuck with the knife.But that is my main question... how do you change the actual weapon model...

No Bobbin, I think he is trying to say that he is trying to change the spear to a knife...
Ah ok, still the same problem though.
