How can I edit starting units/province buildings?

[MiniKiller]

I would like to give the Papacy (When I play them) a few more starting units and some more buiding upgrades.

How do I do this?

Oh ya I would also like to have me be able to go on crusades.

Thank You.

In the campmap\startpos folder there are the era files. Choose the era to edit (early.txt for example), then look towards the end of the document. For buildings, find this:

//============================================================================
// Adding ANY building MUST be done after the regions ATTRIBUTES have been set.
//============================================================================

Add the provinces you want to improve to the list:

MakeBuilding:: ID_PAPAL_STATES Castle5

For units, a little further down on the page you find:

//========================================
//Create Unit
//Create a unit in a specified region
//The Faction that controls that region
//then controls the army.
//========================================
//region, unit type, number of men, number of kills

So you could add (for example)

MakeUnit:: ID_PAPAL_STATES ByzantineInfantry 100

As for crusading, (I think that) you can change the CRUSADER_BUILD_PROD13.TXT file, chapter house entry. Use the Gnome editor, and look for line 31. Add your faction (FN_PAPIST) to the list of allowed chapter house builders. Ive never actually done this, but it looks resonable.

Thank you very much.

No problem. Let me know if the crusading thing doesnt work.

not positive, havn't checked, but i think a crusade is also a unit, i.e. the crusade you train from the chapter house, taking 4yrs.
in which case you also have to look in the unit prod file and add FN_PAPACY to the crusade unit.

you also might want to add FN_PAPACY to order foot soldiers and fanatics, to give you some crusade units, and maybe pick an order of knighthood?

Almost done with my Byz campaign, I'll let u know if this works with the Papy.

[MiniKiller]

just adding papist allows me to build a chpater house.

didnt add any special troops though, gonna now build my frist crusade as the papacy.

the black prince, crusade is a unit but it's not restricted to any factions so that's unnecessary.

BTW, have you wondered how you pay yourself to crusade?
Hmmm interesting. BTW, anyone get money as papists while playing as them from crusades?

[MiniKiller]

ya i paid myself lmaohm no i just crusade to rebel prvinces to get troops lol. then build up there.
