    Depends on what changes you want to make.

    Now that I read my thread I don't think I explained myself well.

    I meant, to change the models and skins of the characters in the strat map all I need to to is to edit the descr_model_strat file?

    If for some reason you want to change the Type name in Descr_Strat, you also have to go to Data\Descr_Character.txt and put the same name in the "strat_model" line for that unit.

    For example, when I changed many of the Strap Map captains in ATW I used a different model for each of them. Because of that I had to create a separate entry in Descr_Strat for each one as well, with them all having a unique Type name. Then I had to go back to Descr_Character.txt and make each "strat_model" line point back to each new entry I had made.

    After I edited the descr_character file my changes worked.

    What about the Generals and camptains on the battle map? I changed them too, but they're not working quite as I expected. The general's skin is not the one I chosed and the captain is always with the chariot animation, but since it doesn't have a chariot, doesn't move. It's quite funny, but not all that usefull.
