Question: I wanna avoid the peasant icon

**Magraev** · 04-22-2005, 07:34

I've modded my game to let carthage build carthagenian archers. I've changed export_descr_buildings and export_descr_unit to achieve this. Practically in _buildings i swapped numidia and ct_carthage for the archers and slingers, and in _unit i added ", carthage" to ownership of the unit.

I can build archers now, but I get them with a peasant icon. I believe I've managed to mod archers into the game correctly before, but now I can't figure it out - please help me

The 'grey peasant' unit card is the default one the system throws in when it can't find the card matching your new unit. You will need to create new unit cards to represent your new unit.

The stock unit cards need to be extracted from the PAK file to be viewed, and if you don't feel up to making completely new ones, you could always copy and re-name an old one to give you somethign more representative than the 'peasant'!!!

I am sure thre was a tutorial somewhere on unit cards....but I can't remember where I saw it

Thanks for the help.

Too bad I have to mess with that stuff though - I was sure I could use the Numidian unit card.

Guess it's back to slingers then...
