You can do so in the export_descr_buildings.txt. But if you do so, it might be necessary to add the changes to the update-buildings as well!

Hi,

Where are the building requirements hidden for the units?
And what files I have to edit to add a new one?

Sorry if this is an old one but I just got the thing and I am trying to build some tools to make the processes as easy as it can possibly be done.

@komninos

In the export_descr_buildings.txt! You must go the other war round as in MTW - instead off giving a unit a building requirement, you must give a building the abillity to build a specific unit! But don´t forget to copy this entry to the following building upgrades!
When you open the export_descr_buildings.txt you can see very easy the structure.

Will it be posible to have different unit models in a unit? That would make look them more realistic. For example a general rides a cataphract and his bodyguards ride on normal horses.
I fear it isn't possible.

Hi

Can anyone tell me how to change the coloring of mercenaries, so that they take the color of the faction that bought it. It just annoys me to see my line's color messed up by tha one shade of green.

Thanks in advance-INU

You ahve to require a good in a province and then put that good in the province. This is how it currently works with spartans. Unfortunately you can't define new goods.
