Tutorial: Converting a Roman Faction to a Different Culture

Best to start from scratch after installing 1.5.

I'm having a little trouble.

I copied the unit card and unit card info for hoplites into the romans_julii folder, but it still shows up as a gray peasant. Is there something else I need to do?

Btw, thanks for making this guide.

If you're following the guide precisely, the unit card file needs to be copied to the newly created ROMANS_BRUTII folder. If you're giving ownership of this unit to the julii, I need more information.

(I know that, but I was also trying to make hoplites available for the julii.)

So far, I made hoplites available for the julii in custom battles, added everything I needed to add in export_descr_battle, and copied the unit info and the unit card, but it still shows up as a gray peasant. I'm not sure what I did wrong, I followed everything it said to do in the guide when making units available for factions that don't already have them.

check your spelling ...

also make sure the folders are where they should;
data\ui\units\romans_julii
data\ui\unit_info\romans_julii

also note the "#" in front of the unitcards label ...

I'm confused about your mention of export_descr_battle. There should be no need to do anything to that file for a custom battle that you choose armies for every time you play one. Do you mean you are saving a battle in the same manner as the historical battles included with the game?

No, all I'm trying to do is make hoplites available for the julii on the campaign map and in custom battles. The only problem is that the hoplites keep showing up as gray peasants, and I know I copied the unit card and the unit info into the julii folder.

Attilus:
Can I just eliminate the brutii and scipii? I've tried to do this and tried to leave the Senate in, but no-go. I've updated all the descr_regions, EDU and EDB and changed all references for the Scipii and Brutii to Julii. All I get is a CTD.
