Gaeroas and smithies

[Tollheit]

I've noticed that the weapons of Gaeroas don't benefit from a blacksmith, unlike the weapons of other spear/javelin units. Is this intentional? Feature or bug?

[Watchman]

An oversight - the "weapon type" in their EDU entry wasn't converted from "missile" to "simple" back when everybody's precursors got that treatment. Must've missed it.

Good catch, thanks. Here's what the entry *should* look like:

;61

Thanks for the fix!

[ziegenpeter]

Is that in the export_descr_uni.txt (or st like that)?

[Watchman]

export_descr_unit, yes. Recall that if you launch the game through the trivialscript you need to modify the files in the backup folders.

[ziegenpeter]

Could you be so kind and explain how?
THX a lot

Thank you, Watchman.

@Ziegenpeter: go to \Rome - Total War\EB\sp game edu backup, open export_descr_unit.txt with Crimson Editor (or with a similar editor), and modify the entry for Gaeroas just like Watchman demonstrated.
