Giving fully armored horse to Armenian Cataphracts... HELP!!!

[gamegeek2]

My guess is that it has to do with mercenary_unit but I am not sure. I am having a similar problem and am attempting to rectify it by modifying descr_model_battle.

Actually, shouldn't you keep the merc and assigning the other mount on the DMB? And then the EDU.

I don't get it... In the DMB there are mounts and soldiers, alright. But it seems to assign faction specific textures... :

Take the hellenistic kataphraktoi horse, for example... i really don't get why it would give a "spain" texture to my "romans_scipii" faction...

[Arkeolog4]

Finally managed to get this work, with side effects thought. Here's the explanation:

1-Take backups of descr_model_battle and export_descr_unit, because you'll want it to be reversable.

2-Open export_descr_unit and find the nakhararakan aspet:

;267

stat_health      1, 1
stat_pri         5, 44, no, 0, 0, melee, blade, piercing, spear, 200 ,0.4

stat_cost        1, 4457, 1114, 80, 100, 4457

Now find the 'mount' section and replace 'half armoured horse' with 'hellenistic kataphraktoi horse'. WARNING: Spelling/spacing errors will make your game crash!

Alright, now you're done with the EDU, time for the DMB. In the DMB you have to find the 'hellenikoi kataphraktoi armoured horse' mount:

Now, see the romans_scipii (Hayasdan) and merc texture/model sprite sections? You'll need to copy the romans_scipii one over the merc texture. NOTE: Keep a backup to be able to reverse the effects after you finish the Hai campaign!!!:

This is how it should look like when finished. Have fun! Ah, and don't forget to replace the export_descr_unit in 'sp game edu backup' folder too.
The only side effect I found so far is that the Eleutheroi Lanceari have Hai armoured horses. The Carthaginian one doesn't suffer though and I don't know about Lusotana. If you find any other side effects, please let me know. Btw, I haven't tried messing with the unit cards yet, but if I do, I'll let you know.
