Cheating

[ah_dut]

ok, ok I'm cheating to try stuff out on the map. I've got all of them to work apart from create_unit...

Basically I can create units like billmen or longbowmen (one word names) but not any others...any ideas? Also, is there a list of the names of the units as read by the computer?

Enclose the name in quotation marks. Sometimes it requires more, and in that case you'd have to look through one of the packed game files: export_descr_units.txt. You can either run the unpacker to pull out just that file or download a copy; there's a link in one of the threads in the mod chat forum.
As an example of what I'm talking about, the Italian factions get a different type of militia cavalry than the rest do, to create them it's called "Italian Cavalry Militia". Basilisk cannons actually are "NE Basilisk". I don't know exactly why, I assume the NE stands for Northern European, but that's how it is in the file.
