Generals

[cultured_barbarian]

OK I figured out what EDU and EDB are. I happened to notice the filenames and made the connection. Can you copy and paste the general units from BI to Rome?

Do you mean the model of the general himself or the unit type of bodyguard he has (or both)?

[cultured_barbarian]

The ability to recruit generals like in BI. I was wondering if I copied and pasted the general units and associated them with buildings to train them would that work like BI or is there a code difference on how BI uses generals compared to Rome? I guess I'm thinking that if it was so easy to add recruitable generals how come CA didn't do it when they patched Rome on the release of BI.

Ok I've played around with it. I see that adding the bodyguard unit makes it available but that's just another cavalry unit. I guess the ability to actually recruit a general with ratings who acts like family members is hard coded. Unless I'm missing something.

[Red Spot]

there is a diff. yes ..

you have generals and you have generals who are also familymember ..

iirc getting a general ingame is pretty easy and can be done with about any unit afaik, getting a familymember ingame is like you said yourself hardcoded ...
(only familymembers we can get in game afaik are the ones you set up in the descr_strat file ..)
