    Default How to make general units normal recruitable units?

    Hi, I was wanting to see if it is possible to make general's bodyguard units recruitable like normal units. For example, the Roman Equites Consulares or the Pontos Late Bodyguard. Thanks for your help!

    In many instances, they already are.

    Otherwise you'd need a free unit slot, of which there are none.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)

    There are plenty of unit slots left, there are no more slots for models. I have added myself about 5 or 6 new units based on bodyguards. And EB runs fine, no crashes(RTW.exe).

    You do the other units you want based on this.

    Doesn't the game crash if you enter a battle with two units using the same model? You need to give one of the units the mercenary attribute. (This does not make them recruitable as mercs BTW; it just allows them to bypass the model limit and gives the officers the mercenary skin.)

    Also, you need to edit the export_descr_buildings.txt to add recruitment lines for these units, or else they will only be available in custom battle.

    Works fine with me, I usually do exactly what Shadow LT did with the Pontic bodyguards and have never had any problems.
