I need help
How can change a unit number?
For example.
From 160 hoplite unit to a 200 or 250 hoplite unit.
My previous nickname was Epiriot
My current is Epirote.
Not Epriot.
Unless there is someone else with the nickname Epriot.
LOL

Epirote - lol - I guess Epriot was a compromise between the two.
Here is how unit numbers work. The relative unit sizes are specified in data\export_descr_unit.txt (on the soldier line), and the base unit size is specified in preferences.txt (on the UNIT_SIZE line).
So if you want to increase unit sizes across the board you can change the number in preferences.txt. If you want to increase the size of hoplite units relative, say, to pike units, you can change the number in descr_units.txt.
Some examples:
If you just change the number in preferences to UNIT_SIZE:200 (bigger than huge) then hoplite units (and all other standard sized units) will have 200 men, and pike units will have 300.
If you change the size numbers for hoplite units in export_descr_unit.txt to 60 (same as pikemen), and the number in preferences.txt to 160 (huge), then hoplite units and pike units will have 240 men.
I was very pleased to see my Name to the read me http file in the mod.
And also in the Site.
I didn`t expect it , cause moslty I complain.
But the name was written wrong.
Anyway.
I want to change <<only>> the Hoplite unit(huge) 160 to (huge) 200 .
I want the rest to remain the same.

In export_descr_units.txt you need to edit the soldier lines for hoplite units and set the size to 50. For example, the first part of the entry for armoured hoplites will look like this:Originally Posted by Epirote
Code:type greek hoplite elite dictionary greek_hoplite_elite ; Armoured Hoplites category infantry class spearmen voice_type Heavy_1 soldier greek_armoured_hoplite, 50, 0, 1.3
Thanks BimeBagHo
RTW isn`t that hardcoded as some claim.
You can easily change the Game from every aspect.
I learned to do 1 or 2 things very easily on my own.
It all depends on what you are trying to do I guess. Personally I wish it was easier to run scripts and modify the AI, but there is a lot that can be changed quite easily. I was surprised by how easy it was to do a lot of things once I got started.
Greetings,
First off I love the mods, makes it more fun to play.
Question: For some reason I can't make Athenian Archers in Athens nor Corinthian Hypaspists in Corinth.
I have built almost every building you can in those cities.
Where they taken out or am I doing something wrong.
I scaned this thread to see if there was something wrong with these 2, but I didn't see anything that caught my eye.
Thanks, Lykurgus
Lykurgus - Are you using a different map, or playing from an old saved game?
I just checked the XGM-MM installer and noticed that I did not update it for the Athenian Marines. So if you are playing on Mundus Magnus that would explain the Marines not being recruitable, but still would not explain the Corinthians.
Are you getting other local units like Rhodian Slingers and Cretan Archers?

Yes I am using Mundus Magnus Map.
I can get the Athenian Hypaspists skin models in most greek cities including Corinth.
I cannot get Rhodian Slingers nor Cretan Archers in any city along with Corinth Hypaspists.
OK. The problem is that you have the wrong desrc_regions.txt file. This will happen if you don't run the XGM-MM installer (in the extras folder) after you install Mundus Magnus. Run that, and start a new campaign (unfortunately it won't have any effect on your current campaign).
If you want to continue with your currect campaign you can edit data/export_descr_buildings.txt and remove the "require hidden_resource x" bits from the local units. That will make them recruitable anywhere.
Ok great.
I will try it in an hour when i get home from work.
Thanks for your help and keep up the great work, Lykurgus
I am thinking starting a campaign as Greek Cities in Mundus magnus
Will i have any problem with the current version?
I rode that some persons have problems with the new units
It will work fine as long as you follow the installation steps in the readme.
The only new unit that won't work is the Athenian archers. If you want to fix that problem you should edit descr_regions.txt in the Mundus Magnus campaign folder and add "athens" to the resource list for Athens. Do this after you finish all the installation steps, but before you start a new campaign.
Actually I follow a different way in installation.
I install them in a new folder.
Then I copy paste in the rome tatal war folder.
Just to be sure

I haven`t played RTW for weeks.
Today I ran into a new mod named Vlad Total war.
I saw in the Customise Battles some of the best skins.
Incredible job.
I would love some of those skins in XGM and Mundus Magnus.
Check it out.

I've never tried Vlad's mod, but I have heard good things about it. A lot of people seem to like his work on formations. That's an area that I have been planning to do more work on for a while.
If you want to use some of the skins from his mod with XGM it would not be all that hard to add them yourself. There is a good tutorial on changing skins here: http://www.twcenter.net/articles/link.php?id=58
I will start to create a XGM+Mundus Magnus+VladTT mod for personal use.
I will mainly add- remove skins.
To manage to add them along with their proper Card skins and description.
I already picked up the skins i will use.
They need only some small brushes as.
Add remove shield patterns.
Add remove greaves.
Color change.
ect.
What program do I use to open the .cas and tga.dds files?
I will loose lot of time searching on my own.
Can you give some info,site names for begginer moders?
