Thread: Chainging "abilities at a glance"

    Default Chainging "abilities at a glance"

    I would like to mod the game to change these and add in more detail (primary weapon, secondary weapon, etc). Before I do so, has anyone else done this? Is there a mod around that I can just download?

    Barring that, I presume these unit descriptions are contained in text files that I can edit? Can anyone point me to a directory and the name of the files?

    Thanks.

    EB folder/data/export_descr unit is the file folder you are looking for. That contains all the information you will need about every unit in-game. Its an extensive list though and will require a bit of familiarity with native unit names in many cases.

    I suggest you to look into the RTW modification part of the forum.

    Hello Nightmare,

    you may want to have a look at Bobbins "Unit Info Card Mod".
    While it doesn't show the weapons in the card it presents some other useful informations (like range of bows/slings/javelins) and may in addition give you an idea how/where to add the information you want to see in the info cards.
    Finished EB Campaigns: Kart-Hadast 1.0/1.2 | Pontos 1.1 | Arche Seleukeia 1.2 | Hayasdan 1.2 | Sab'yn 1.2 | Makedonia 1.2 (Alex)
    Lost Campaigns (1.2, Alex. exe): Getai | Sab'Yn
    Ongoing campaigns (1.2): SPQR (110 BC) | Sab'yn (217 BC) | Pontos (215 BC)
    from Populus Romanus
