"Roman Generals" Submod

by Ryoga84



Hi, this is the Roman General Submod, a submod for Europa Barbarorum 1.2.

This a submod I made for another mod of mine (Uchronia Barbarorum), but I think is good enough for being a standalone submod. Essentially, this mod create Roman "officers" units; these are recruitable general units, like the mercenary generals.
But with the modified trait system, said officers do not become client rulers.
To achieve this, the player must train the "officer" unit, and then keep it within the walls of Rome for one turn, as for a client ruler. The unit will then get the trait "Roman Military Officer" instead of the "Recruited General". The Roman Officers get as standard a bonus for fighting slaves, some other bonuses as commanders, and cannot gain most of the positive traits related to the government of cities, because even if they have no malus in the government, that's not their job.
They are not family members and should not gain the traits "Impostor" or "Interloper".

In the standard version, there're 5 officers:
-Camillan Tribunus Militum: commanding a Camillan Triari-type unit (Rome, Army Barracks 4+, Camillan Era)
-Polybian Tribunus Militum: commanding a Polybian Triari-type unit (Rome, Army Barracks 4+, Polybian Era)
-Republican Legatus Legionis: commanding a Post-Marian FirstCohort-type unit (Rome, Army Barracks 4+, Post-Marian Era)
-Imperial Legatus Legionis: commanding an Imperia FirstCohort-type unit (Rome, Army Barracks 4+, Augustan Era)
-Prefectus Praetorio: commanding a Praetorian Cohort-type unit (Rome, Army Barracks 5, Augustan Era)

There'is another set of units, if you prefer mounted officers.
Simply, you must delete the file export_descr_buildings.txt and rename the file export_descr_buildings.txt1 (already in the archive) as export_descr_buildings.txt
This will give replace the officers with another set
-Tribunus Militum: commanding a Camillan Cavalry-type unit (Rome, Army Barracks 4+, Camillan&Polybian Era)
-Legatus Legionis: commanding a Polybian Cavarly-type unit (Rome, Army Barracks 4+, Post-Marian&Augustan Era)
-Prefectus Praetorio: commanding a Praetorian Cavarly-type unit (Rome, Army Barracks 5, Augustan Era)

The type of the unit has ben added so you know who you're searching on the battlefield, all the units are less numerous than the standard ones (they are officers, after all) but that should not be a problem. As characters bodyguard, these units regenerate over time.



While tested, the mod was quite stable.
I'd like some external input, anyway.
