Changing unit models between factions.

[anubis88]

I figure'd it out how to change the horses, now i need only the help with the unit cards

[bobbin]

Look in the UI folder in the EB data folder, the unit card pictures are in the units and unit_info folders.

Thanks Bobbin, you've been extremly helpful. I only have one more question. I started now a Pontos Campaign, and i would really like to give the reformed pontos bodyguards the look they had in EB1.1. Which means to give them the horses they had back then (they look more persian armourwise) instead of the ones they have now, which are the same as the chariots. I would like to do this so that the unit card matches the unit in game.

Please help me if you can

Yep sure, you need to find the unit entry for the bodyguard in the EDU

and change the mount line to read "hellenistic kataphraktoi horse", I think thats all you need to do. Good luck

Unfortunatly it doesn't seem to work. As i change the entry in EDU and enter the game the bodyguards look the same, and after i go back to the EDU, the entry is changed back to the hetairoi companion horse.

Any ideas my friend?

[bobbin]

Sounds like your running the game with the trivial script. You need to edit the EDU found in the "sp game edu backup" folder in the EB data folder.

I changed everything in every EDU i could find, but nothing seems to help. Of course i only tried it in costum battle, since i don't have yet the reforms in my campaign, but the horses just don't change
