Few questions about "unit_prod" files

[CBR]

Quote[/b] ]Does the “viking_unit_prod” used for Viking campaign and “crusaders_unit_prod11” for the Medieval campaign ? If so, why does the “Viking” file contain Muslim and other irrelevant units and “early, high, late” periods ?

The viking prod file is used only for the Viking era. There were some changes in the Viking expansion as each era now can have its own unit prod file.

The game is still "hardcoded" to have only 3 eras (early,high,late) and Viking uses early era. Dont know why they left so many MTW units in the Viking file..maybe they didnt bother to delete them as it didnt matter anyway.

Quote[/b] ]- If the above correct, how to tell which units in “viking_unit_prod” are actually used in the Viking campaign ?

Its easy to see what units are used or not, as a unit that is not used doesnt have the FN_0x for faction availability.

Quote[/b] ]Do these override the already existing ones or are these used for other purpose (multiplayer specific maybe ?)

Yes last 2 columns are for MP only.

Quote[/b] ]Where do the translation of the factions stored and how are they mapped to the “unit_prod” files ? The Medieval factions can be understood but the VI factions are “FN_01”, “FN_02” etc

That can be seen in the era file located in campmap/startpos folder:

"FN_01" // Irish
"FN_02" // Mercians
"FN_03" // Northumbrians
"FN_04" // Picts
"FN_05" // Saxons
"FN_06" // Scots
"FN_07" // Vikings
"FN_08" // Welsh

Quote[/b] ]Why there are units that have “NO_FACTION” associated with them ? Is there a point to this

For the units that are not used in the game or cant by produced but still used (dismounted knights etc) NO_FACTION is used for that purpose.


Honour step value is for how many kills a unit need to get one valor..I think. Samurai means elite. Dont know about morale bonus (it doesnt mean a units morale as that is taken care of somewhere else in the unit file) Dojo advantage...hm ask someone else :)
