    Lightbulb Make my own battlefield general?

    I want to make my own general, like Alexander the Great in the RTW Alex. Is this possible?

    Yes, it is quite simple to do.

    Here is a custom general I added to House Julii:
    __

    character Marcus Ballista, named character, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 1, age 28, , x 90, y 86
    traits NaturalMilitarySkill 5 , GoodAdministrator 5 , GoodCommander 4 , GoodAttacker 4 , GoodDefender 4 , GoodSiegeDefender 3
    ancillaries bodyguard, gladiator, heroic_saviour, trusty_steed, treasurer, drillmaster
    army
    unit roman generals guard cavalry exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman legionary cohort ii exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman legionary cohort ii exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman generals guard cavalry exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman legionary cohort ii exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5

    unit roman generals guard cavalry exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman legionary cohort ii exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman legionary cohort ii exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman generals guard cavalry exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman generals guard cavalry exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman legionary cohort ii exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman legionary cohort ii exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman generals guard cavalry exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 5
    unit roman repeating ballista exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 3
    unit roman repeating ballista exp 9 armour 9 weapon_lvl 3

    __

    All the text between the __ marks was added to the descr_strat.txt file, between two other characters in the Julii section.

    There were 3 other files I ammended to get the name Ballista to work.

    ..\data\text\names.txt
    ..\data\descr_names.txt
    ..\data\descr_names_lookup.txt

    I added {Ballista} Ballista in the names.txt file, just below Balbus;
    Then added Ballista in the julii section of descr_names.txt;
    Then added Ballista in the descr_names_lookup.txt file, also below Balbus.

    I hope that this is of help to you. I know that this is not the strongest character possible, but it should give you something to go on.

    Thank you for that, Karma Terrorist.
    Now I have learned new things.
    But I want to ask you another question: Can I make my general has different skin from another, like Alexander?

    Its Possible, I believe, but you'd have to make it a Unique Unit, and then you'd have a unique skin for the General, but I don't know if its possible to merge the 2 together. Prehaps someone of higher knowledge would know a way, but I can't help with the making of a Unit.

    I have seen Leonidas of Sparta in the mod "300 Warlords of Sparta", and he has different skin from another generals. I'd love to get one, but I don't know how...
