I did a search and read the discussions on these two topics, but I'm still unclear on a couple of points.

Famous Kings:
The first king in the list always works properly. Has anyone been able to make the rest of the list work as intended? I've tested this quite a bit and so far only the starting king has the correct attributes. Am I missing something, or does the list just not work?

Facshields:
I used the work-around provided by (Lysander? I believe), making custom0_ folders for the units which use facshields and it works fine. I was wondering if anyone had tried putting tga's in the facshield folder for new factions, using the faction name, thus avoiding having to do the work-around. I'm going to experiment with this and don't want to waste my time if it has already been tried.

On another note:
Thanks to all of you who take the time to write up guides and answer questions on these boards, I just finished making my first mod. I created my own pagan faction with custom units and agents and have had quite a bit of fun destroying all those One-God loonies. Everything works well, although I would like some famous kings and facshields if possible. Much thanks to all of you for sharing the knowledge.

The Pope is dead!
Long live the Big Kahuna!
