Equites Singulares

Moving thread to the submod forum.

I think all you need to do is add "general_unit_upgrade" to the unit attributes and make sure it is listed below the starting general's unit (see Aradan's EDU guide), but search the R:TW modding guides, just to be sure.

Yeah, that worked! And while it doesn't replace existing general's bodyguards in a campaign where March of Time is already finished, it WILL make new bodyguards Singulares instead of Consulares. Just not the generals that are already alive. And if you have a campaign pre-MoT it changes them when you get MoT.

I should add "general_unit_upgrade" to the consular or the singulares unit?

**Ludens** · 05-07-2011, 20:23

The singulares. The consular gets the "general_unit" attribute. It's described in the link.

Yeah, all you need to to is add the general_unit_upgrade trait to the Singulares and it works like a charm.

Adding general_unit_upgrade does work like a charm, thanks a lot guys. But I want to know if there is any way to make them available with augustan reforms... Is there? thanks already!

Do you want to tie the bodyguard reform to the Augustean reforms, or do you want to be able to recruit this unit after the Augustean reforms? The former is unfortunately impossible. The only way to reform bodyguards is through the vanilla Marian-reforms event. The latter may be possible, but I am not 100% sure.

Oh, too bad we can't tie the reform to Augustans...Anyway, thanks again for the information!

You could of course change the bodyguard unit manually after the Augustan reforms have occurred. That won't change the bodyguards for the FM's that have already come of age though.
