Changing Hoplitai AOR and skins for KH?
I'm doing some roleplaying with Koinon Hellenon and I'd like to know whether it's possible to expand the AOR for standard Hoplitai (only for KH if possible) to, say, Camulosadae. I'm quite a noob when it comes to these things, so please describe as detailed as possible.
Also, is it possible to change the KH hoplitai skins:
to, for example, those that Epeiros have?:
Finally, will any of these changes be savegame compitable?

Here's how to do the texture switch.
1. find descr_model_battle.txt in the main EB "data" folder
2. backup it
3. open in suitable text editor (I use Notepad++)
4. search for hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_hellenikoi
5. change these linesto thisCode:type hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_hellenikoi skeleton fs_o_f_spearman ; combat spear indiv_range 40 texture thrace, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_sor_thrace.tga texture greek_cities, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_sor_greek.tga texture macedon, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_sor_macedon.tga --- model_sprite thrace, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/hellenistic/ebsprite_hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_thrace.spr model_sprite greek_cities, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/hellenistic/ebsprite_hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_greek.spr model_sprite macedon, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/hellenistic/ebsprite_hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_macedon.spror whatever unit texture and sprite you now prefer (for the record, ";" at the beginning of a line "comments it out" so the engine doesn't read it; this is a good way to keep the original value around for an easy "rollback" if you want to revert to the default)Code:type hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_hellenikoi skeleton fs_o_f_spearman ; combat spear indiv_range 40 texture thrace, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_sor_thrace.tga ;texture greek_cities, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_sor_greek.tga texture greek_cities, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_sor_thrace.tga texture macedon, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_sor_macedon.tga --- model_sprite thrace, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/hellenistic/ebsprite_hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_thrace.spr ;model_sprite greek_cities, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/hellenistic/ebsprite_hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_greek.spr model_sprite greek_cities, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/hellenistic/ebsprite_hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_thrace.spr model_sprite macedon, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/hellenistic/ebsprite_hellenistic_infantry_hoplitai_macedon.spr

Also modifying the recruitement areas is a pain and a half. Don't do it unless you really know what you're doing.

Paltmull, Watchman got the skin change right on, but, unfortunately he is also right about it being too hard to mod AOR's. It takes forever, and is much too hard to explain on this forum. Sorry.

It's not that it were "too hard", but it gets quite complicated and onerous very fast if you're not just copy-pasting the hidden-resource combinations en block and moreover would be a truly epic pain to explain... and I for one can't be arsed to go into *that* much effort.
