Modding non-combat units

[Legionaire]

Have anyone modded non-combat units?

Eg, changed the stats of a spy, that it will be easier for a spy to incite an uprising?

its to do with the character's traits...

go to export_descr_character_traits.txt in the Rome/Data/ folder (or Rome/BI/Data) and ctrl+F to search for 'goodspy' then increase each of those levels by 1 in subterfuge... there are a few more traits concerning spies that you could change but that is the main one

hope this helps

Sorry, which file in the "data" folder to change?

Many thanks

Trait files:
There are 2 in Data: export_descr_Character_traits, and export_descr_VnV's_enums, then there is one inside the text folder that says something with VnV in it. The text folder is in the data folder.

I saw the 2 files, but I have only edited the 1st file, is it necessary to edit the 2nd file ( export_descr_VnVs_enums) as well?

extract....

Level Sneaky
Description Sneaky_desc
EffectsDescription Sneaky_effects_desc
GainMessage Sneaky_gain_desc
Threshold 1

Effect Subterfuge 9
Effect LineOfSight 1

Is this how we do it?

To make it more exciting, can I edit it to

Effect Subterfuge 20

As long as you aren't adding or removing traits you can leave export_descr_VnV's_enums.txt alone; however if you modify any traits that will change export_descr_Character_traits, and if you want the modified values to show up in the trait description on the character screen you also have to change export_VnV.txt in the Data/text folder.

EDIT: Yes that is how you make them more formidable by increasing subterfuge or one of the other effects that work with spies, diplomats and assassins
