Spartan

[Anubis King]

I was curious if you guys could show me a way to mod the soldiers of Sparta. I want to mod them (because I am bored with the game a bit) and want a nice change. I think it would fun to play the game hollywood style like the movie 300 (which most people dont seem to like). I thought it was a great movie. BUt please help with the mod.

Thanks in advance!!!

What do you have in mind?

Just making the spartan soldiers a bit more stronger than other units in the game. Maybe 3 or 4 times the strength of others in all aspects.

Well, that would be crazy, because you could own the entire map with the one starting spartans you get. But I will walk you through the process. I would suggest downloading one of the 300 spartans out right now.

ahh, ok. I will show you how to edit the Spartan Unit.

type             greek hoplite spartan
dictionary       greek_hoplite_spartan      ; Spartan Hoplites
category         infantry
class            spearmen
voice_type       Medium_1
soldier          greek_hoplite_spartan_pylos, 40, 0, 1.3
attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap, very_hardy
formation        1, 1, 2, 2, 5, square, phalanx
stat_health      2, 0
stat_pri         16, 4, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr    spear, spear_bonus_8
stat_sec         12, 3, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, sword, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr    no
stat_pri_armour  3, 9, 5, leather
stat_sec_armour  0, 0, flesh
stat_heat        2
stat_ground      2, 0, 0, 0
stat_mental      14, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        2, 1190, 460, 120, 180, 1190
ownership        greek_cities

Now change it to something like this:

type             greek hoplite spartan
dictionary       greek_hoplite_spartan      ; Spartan Hoplites
category         infantry
class            spearmen
voice_type       Medium_1
soldier          greek_hoplite_spartan_pylos, 40, 0, 1.3
attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap, very_hardy
formation        1, 1, 2, 2, 5, square, phalanx
stat_health      20, 0
stat_pri         50, 40, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr    spear, spear_bonus_8
stat_sec         35, 40, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, sword, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr    no
stat_pri_armour  3, 9, 5, leather
stat_sec_armour  0, 0, flesh
stat_heat        2
stat_ground      2, 0, 0, 0
stat_mental      20, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        2, 1190, 460, 120, 180, 1190
ownership        greek_cities

That might help.Just copy and paste the second code over the original.

Check the guide for adding new units in the scriptorium to find out what all that means.

Thanks alot for the help. Well after I play with them I will also play against them.....Might be interesting.

I also have no clue where to find that file. First time modding. could you help with that?

THanks

Oh, sorry about that. It is in your RTW directory, and then in the data folder. It is called export_descr_unit.txt.

click ctrl f , and an option will come up called find. put in

type greek hoplite spartan


then copy the code I gave you over the original.
