What files do I need to edit in order to change the characters on descr strat map? Only the descr_strat_file?
Yes.
Norman Invasion - The fate of England lies in your hands...
Viking Invasion II - Unite Britain in the best TW campaign ever!
Gods and Fighting Men: Total War - Enter the Mists of Myth in Ancient Ireland
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.
There are never enough hours in the days of a Queen, and her nights have too many...ATW Version 2.5 is now out!
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.
