    I'll start looking for a decent looking unit with just the sword as a general. The Casse Calawre if it dosen't have javelins. Shame though, I really like the model of the Armenian medium infantry. It suitably "eastern" with the light colours and scale armor. If I can't find a better alternative the armenian stays.
    Despite the spear he's a lot better looking than the old placeholder.
    I downloaded the Seleucid legionaries. Cool looking units. Unfortunately they give me alien feeling. Good but lacking the EB flavor. Don't know how to better explain it.
    Will look into other options. Thankfully after considerable sweat this little peace of basic modding is now in hand.
    Time to start tinkering again I think.

    Well, good luck and happy hunting then young padawan. May you find the suitable placeholder skin just for you.

    I had a crazy thought. Since the ; eliminates all the effect of entries pas this point in the textline, does there happen to be another symbol that will reactivate the line from said symbol forward.

    If there is you could tell the game to ignore the primary weapon for a javelin thrower and force his secondary weapon, the sword or dagger to become his primary.

    This would solve the problem with the generals showing up with their javelins instead of their swords.

    Atleast this is what I'm hoping for. Haven't figured out any other way of forcing the secondary weapon to be the primary.

    Hell. I'd make a new unit entirely just to a proper eastern general placeholder for those factions lacking one.

    Here he is. The new eastern general placeholder. He's now the proud general for Hayasdan, Pahlava, Pontos and Saba. Along with his original owner the Getai.

    The new Getai general is so awesome looking I couldn't resist ripping him off the Getai to be my new eastern general.
    With the scale armor, theuros type large shield and straight sword he looks suitably eastern for the job. Infinately better than the old one atleast.

    Now I just have to find a replacement for the placeholder lesser general...

    Thanks again guys for the help!

    edit.


    Lesser general found. The model is the german general with dacian skins.
