    Default Eqvites Singvlares and alt+tab

    Two simple questions. :)

    1) When do these awesome looking guys become available:
    Eqvites Singvlares


    Marian Reform? That would be sweet.

    2) Recently I can't alt+tab out of the game normally.. I can alt+tab into the desktop, but the problem arises when I want to come back into the game again. I can't. No matter how long I wait the game will not pop-up again. This is sooo irritating.. :( The strange thing is if I alt+tab really quick, only to change the song or something, it works perfectly. But if I stay on the desktop for too long I cant. I play on Vista. Anyone have any idea how to solve this? It worked perfectly before..



    Thanks.

    afair they were not included as the MoT kicks in far to early for them and this is the only event that can change the Bodyguard units (other reformes are scripted).

    About question 2; try playing the game in windowed mode (selectable in EB configuration). That way, when you press alt+tab, the computer will switch to another window without minmizing the game window. I had the same problem, and doing that solved it.

    You still shoudn't minimize the game window though, mind you. :)

    about as dead as the ultra heavy Dosidataskeli the Ethiopian Agema is a bit more dead.

    Depends whet you want them for, do you want them to be a seperate recruitable unit or just a bodygurad upgrade? The first requires a bit of work editing the EDU and EDB files but the other is really easy.

    Just find the unit entry for the Singulares and change the general_unit attribute to general_unit_upgrade like so
    Code:
    ;236
    type             roman cavalry eqvites singvlares
    dictionary       roman_cavalry_eqvites_singvlares      ; Equites Singulares
    category         cavalry
    class            heavy
    voice_type       General_1
    soldier          roman_cavalry_equitessingulares, 10, 0, 1
    officer          ebofficer_roman_standard
    mount            saddle horse heavy
    mount_effect     elephant -1, chariot +2
    attributes       sea_faring, general_unit_upgrade, hide_forest, hardy
    formation        1.5, 4, 3, 6, 3, square
    stat_health      1, 1
    stat_pri         4, 30, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 160 ,0.33
    stat_pri_attr    ap
    stat_sec         13, 15, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, slashing, sword, 0 ,0.13
    stat_sec_attr    no
    stat_pri_armour  13, 11, 4, metal
    stat_sec_armour  0, 0, flesh
    stat_heat        4
    stat_ground      0, 0, -4, -2
    stat_mental      16, disciplined, highly_trained
    stat_charge_dist 30
    stat_fire_delay  0
    stat_food        60, 300
    stat_cost        1, 1783, 0, 120, 160, 1783

    I should add this will make them available when the March of Time event (vannila marian reforms) happens, being that you're playing as the romans that won't really be a problem though.

    I'm having this problem with Alt+Tab too since I started using Vista. I guess Vista just sucks.
    I will try playing in windowed mode although.
    Any other solutions are very welcomed.

    I will give this one a try, I was thinking of changing the bodyguard unit of Equites Consolaris with something else when the Marian reforms are triggered.

    Cheers.

    So I am pre March of Time, can I already edit without having the Singulares imidiatley? Do I understand correctly that by editing the way you described the Singulares will only be available after the March of Time event?
    I don't want to have the Singulares at 200 BC already. :)

    Yes that would be how it works. There's no other way for a bodyguard upgrade to happen other than the MOT event. Given your playing as the romans you can control when the MOT happens just don't let any of your cities in Italy become a huge city and the MOT event won't happen, this will help if you don't want to have the Singulares before their historical time.

    Thanks for the answer. I'll edit the file and trigger MOT around 130 BC.

    Edit: Just realized, that the Singulares are an imperial unit. Duh.

    Doesn't work for me because I already got the March of Times

    What I did:

    1. Delete the "generals_unit" property for Eqvites Consvlares. (This ensures all your generals unit to be Singvlares from very beginning).

    2. Change soldier number in Eqvites Consvlares to 25 (To make it a regular heavy cavalry)

    3. Enable recruitment of Eqvites Consvlares at Imperial Palace (Only for Romani).

    Now I have Singvlares as Bodyguard and Consvlares as a recruitable heavy cavalry.

    Finally, if you want, change the construction and maintenance cost for Consvlares, or simply leave them as they are.
