Problem with export_descr_unit.txt

After I try to edit this file RTW doesn't start. Same problem when I download other people's edited files. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

RTW not starting is a result of bad syntax or bad data within an editted file. The RTW files are looking for very specific data formatting and if you don't get it exactly right, you crash to desktop. This is a trial and error process.

If you post more about the specific change you are trying to make you will get better feedback.

Mostly I'm trying to edit unit sizes. I play on large unit size but would like animal units such as dogs, elephants, pigs, etc to remain at their default size. (ie 6 elephants in a unit)

Put "-show_err" in the command line, than tell us what the exact error is.

Whats the "command line"?

It is the actual text used to start the program. If you go to the properties of your shortcut to the game, you can see the actual command line call; append -show_err to it for displaying errors.
