ok a few things

1 i see you figured out what the "unknown" is that is always 25, hit speed. is lower on that higher, or higher higher?

2 i really don't get the deal with hit strength and attack, ect. they both seem to be the same, but whats the difference? can someone clear that up for me?

3 how do i change what the name of the unit's name is on the battlefield and in the unit selections?

sry for the basic questions, im a bit unexpierenced in modding.

You have to open the file to edit before you can start editing.

Click "Open Unit Data", select your export_descr_unit.txt, then you can edit away.

1. I believe lower is better, but I don't know for sure.

2. My understanding of hit strength is its likeliness of a successful hit causing the loss of a hit point, 1 being always.

3. In RTW this is handled in a separate file. Go into the [Enums] tab, and press "Open Descr", select the file (located in RTW/data/text) and then edit the title of the first item in the descriptions box.
