The Caligula Tool

[paleologos]

Hi,
The Caligula add new units Tool.
Has anyone tried that?
Does it work with EB?
Does it work with a campaign already started or would I have to start a new campaign for the new added units to become available?
Thanks.

Yes, I have used it for a previous version of EB. However, it was not designed with data files the size of EB's in mind, so it did occasionally choke on them. Back-up the EDU file before you use it.

Provided you do not remove existing entries, changes the EDU are save-game compatible.

hi all. 'xcuse for my ignorance, but, what this caligula Tool is? can you re-direct me to it?

[Ludens]

Caligula is a program to view and edit export_descr_unit.txt (EDU), the file that holds the unit stats. You can download it here. I haven't had any problems with it but there are reports that it couldn't handle EB's EDU, presumably because of its sheer size. So, as always, make a back-up before you start modding.

thank you thank you thank you
for the quick answer
BTW, i usually edit the EDU directly form the DATA folder, with no problems... but i will check this program.
thasnk you again!
