Ah, this will help when I want to balance a couple of units myself. Good work Aradan and Xerex

some 2 small things:
- you missed out chariots at the mount_effect line
- the horde formation is avaible with just Rome (without BI installed), horde units however aren't. Peasants for example had the horde formation in Rome vanilla. Also when routing, units use this formation too.

About that fire delay thingy, I have serious doubts if this would actually help.

Great guide none the less! I didn't know how height really worked. Thanks!

Thx a lot! Updated. Yeah, the fire_delay thingy is tricky. Anybody has any solid facts about whether it works and what it actually does?

Can you please not post in this thread, but on the relevant one at Modding Questions (link at the top of the guide)?? Just to keep the all the comments and info in one place, so that peope may find it quickly.

Thank you.

Am using M2's data as well in my modding effort and recalled the attribute there "can_withdraw" ..

Have tried it and it seems to ... er .. not cause CTD's, wich makes me believe it may actually have an effect, havent had the time to test it properly yet but it seems to be a recognized attribute in EDU while running BI 1.6 ....
