The Complete EDU Guide - Discussion

Thanks for the links.
I have been testing them in ATW and even when they do not cause crash nor error messages, I have not noticed any effect.
I have not tested it properly, but units with and without "heavy" or "can_formed_charge" move and charge the same, I can't see any difference.
I think they are like other attributes from BI like shield_wall, schiltrom, can_swim and is_peasant, allowed by the .exe but not supported in game.

Thanks for a wonderfull guide.
But I wonder, where can you change the stats of officers, generals, etc.? Is there a similar .txt file for them?

Thx

[Aradan]

Thx. You cannot change the stats of officers/generals etc at all.

[MastodontfilmsMats]

Ok. But what determines their stats? The game has to know how good they are, and they seem to be better than the normal soldiers in the unit.

[Aradan]

It must be hardcoded. The game does store that info somewhere, but it is not accessible or moddable by us. I've read somewhere that officers have 2hps and generals have 7, but it's impossible to test-prove it.

[Nicodemus]

A minor point, and apologies if its already been mentioned, but using "thrown" for 'stat_pri_attr' means that a javelin icon is displayed when targeting during a battle.

Maybe that implies that it was intended for javelin troops, not archers ?

[Aradan]

That's actually a side-effect, but yes the original use must have been for javelin troops, probably instead of giving them bonuses vs elephants and large animals anyway.
