    Default Carthaginian Sacred band to swordmen

    Please, I would love some help modifying a couple units.
    How can I make the Carthaginian Sacred band into swordsmen?
    Which files do I need to modify?

    I'm guessing here the exp desc_unit txt, remove spear, make sword primery weapon, but then, I think I have to modify the files for the unit in the combat map, right?
    I have no idea which are those.

    Thanks.

    Default Re: Carthaginian Sacred band to swordmen

    The second file to alter is Descr_Model_Battle.txt

    However the problem is The unit shares the same "soldier" entry in Descr_Model_Battle.txt as Greek Cities' Armoured Hoplites
    {greek_armoured_hoplite} . Changes to one in Descr_Model_Battle.txt
    effect both .
    You could copy the greek_armoured_hoplite text , rename it {say Carthage_armoured_hoplite} and then you could delete the fs_spearman, part of the fs_spearman, fs_swordsman in the new entry then change the name in the Soldier entry in the stats for carthaginian sacred band infantry to match the new soldier entry in Descr_Model_Battle.txt .

    The fs_spearman, fs_swordsman are the skeletons to use for primary and secondary weapons respectivly {slingers are a strange exception , they must use fs_slinger_new, fs_slinger_new} so if you don't delete FS_spearman, , you would either have them using swords like they were spears , or mabey crash the game {might not though} .
    7 out of 10 people like me ,
    I'm not going to change for the other three .

    Thanks!

    So, I can copy and paste the files and create a new unit using the files for the Sacred band and still keep the original sacred band?

    You could copy the greek_armoured_hoplite text , rename it {say Carthage_armoured_hoplite}
    Is this text the one in exp desc_unit text or desc model battle txt?


    in the new entry then change the name in the Soldier entry in the stats for carthaginian sacred band infantry to match the new soldier entry in Descr_Model_Battle.txt .
    So, I have to copy and paste the files in Model_battle.txt, make them match with desc_unit.txt, and that's it?

    What about the name of the unit?
    How can I change it to "Suffette Guard" or something like that?

    I'm sorry for so many questions.
    Thanks!
