[RS 1.6a] Greek Cavalry Sub-Mod

[Spartan198]

This little sub-mod makes some changes to the types of cavalry available to the GCS faction. It's for RS 1.6a. Just download the attached zip file, pick which version you want (both 0-turn and 1-turn recruitment options are included), and simply drag and drop that data folder into the main directory of your RS install and click yes to overwrite.

The list of changes:
* Replace GCS Companion Cavalry with Bosporan Elite Noble Cavalry.
* Give GCS access to non-elite Greek Noble Heavy Cavalry.
* Give GCS access to Greek Light Cavalry.

Enjoy and rep if you like.

Well i don't know about the EDU and EDB names, but Pergamum's internal name's numidia i think

Yeah, I found that out already. Probably should have thought about checking the ownership of the city in the descr_strat before posting...

But still thanks for telling me, though.

Edit:
Okay, the 0 Turn Recruitment option of my sub-mod is finished and ready to go, I just need to test it. But I'm having some difficulty with the 1 Turn Recruitment EDB. There seems to be a slight discrepancy. The heavy cavalry unit pictured in the 1st post isn't present on it at all.

0 Turn EDB with the unit (highlighted in red):

Can anyone tell me if this is intentional or if it's a mistake of some kind?

[Squid]

Just a mistake on my part.

[Spartan198]

Aside from the mistake I found, is there supposed to be any difference between the EDBs?

[Squid]

Yes, many of the bonuses in the 0-turn are not present in the one turn. Use notepad++'s compare plugin on the two files and you'll see the difference.

Is this going to be a submod or is this just a question and if it is a submod please state the version it's copatible with in the opening post. Thanks.

[Spartan198]

Yeah, it's going to be a small submod. I just need to get around to fixing and testing the 1-turn EDB, which I'm going to get on right now. It'll be compatible with 1.6a.

[apple]

Thanks. Updated with [1.6a] tag.

[Spartan198]

First post updated with zip file containing the finished sub-mod.

[apple]

Good job mate. A tip would be to place some pictures showing what the mod does at the op.
Have some rep btw.

[Spartan198]

Good idea. I'll do just that.

Screenies added to first post.

[Kylan271]

Hmm,I just saw this,did not know you can do multiple entries for the same unit in the EDB??? Are there any CTDs from this?

I haven't experienced any. I've recruited and taken to battle each unit I made available to GCS both in campaign and custom battle with no trouble.

[Kylan271]

I am not experienced in the set up. What are the benefits of using multi entries? I was trying to work on units based on armour(same model-with diff armour),ie clothing-normal set up,linthorax -resource silver,breastplate -resource gold,so as to seperate unit types by settlement wealth. This is a new set up though,so not sure if it would be useful to me or not?

[Spartan198]

Squid or somebody would probably have to answer that. All I did was copy/paste the Ptolemaic heavy cavalry entries from the 0-turn EDU to the 1-turn EDU where they were missing from (which Squid said was a mistake on his part) and alter faction ownership of a few units.
