[RS 2.0] More units for romans

[Kaad]

I'm downloading the game but I'm gona add some units to be more complete!

[Beetlecat]

Do you want to elaborate? What kinds of units are you thinking of adding? I think the game allows for tons of AOR troops and mercenaries as it is.

[The Bounty Killer]

I think you should dowload and tried the mod before making this statements.I don't know if it can be possible, maybe the 500 unit limit has been reached, i'm not sure about this but i'm sure that the dmb model limits has been reached.

[Taelok]

The unit limit has indeed been reached. If you want to add units, you'll have to delete some from other factions.

[Kaad]

Thankx for answering.

Bad luck

[Zuka]

What do they need more for? :|

[Spartan198]

What do they need more for? :|

Flaming pigs, ninjas, and gladiators.

[Paedric]

Do you still want to add more units knowing that you'll have to remove some allready in the mod? To be clearer, will you do this sub-mod or not?

[ISA Gunner]

...Why is this thread still open? Srsly.

[caratacus]

Well you can't add any more Roman units but shouldn't need to as there are lots of units to choose from including allied ones.

The 500 unit limit on the descr_model_battle text file hasn't been exceeded to enable you to play with this number of models using Alexander.exe (not BI). However the export_descr_unit file limit is full because it has a lower limit of around 340 I think? CA didn't answer the team's requests to overcome this hard code limit I'm afraid. Pathetic if you ask me given that people are dashing out to buy RTW just to be able to play the mod, but that's the current mindset of CA.

However I see you can still add officers for some of the Roman units as the 3 officer slot hasn't been entirely filled, as long as you are playing the Alexander exe, as I think the BI exe will not allow extra entries in the descr_model_battle file.

At the moment I'm having fun adding some extra officers and customizing some of the units for the Barbarian units to create a bit more diversity in the battle line up. It would be nice to see an officer sub mod created by someone.

[Kaad]

Ok I will add officers for roman, carthage & macedon (I have almost 10 officers to put)

[tone]

It's only possible for the Alex.exe

[caratacus]

Yes.. I thought it might only be possible for playing using Alexander.exe

Remember Kaad to make sure that when you add Officers and Standard bearers for any unit, the factions that use that unit also have an entry in the descr_model_battle file for that officer.

In addition to officer animations it also works for some unit models that utilise Spearman and swordsman animation but not when they include javelin.

Hi me again
This thread might be dead, but im asking for the same thing. I want the Arcani unit back from the vanilla RTW. Is it true that you have already reached the 500 unit limit? If so, can you replace any missile cavalry unit from Rome and add Arcani unit.
I know i could do this myself, but i really don't have the time. I have a school project witch is one week late and the teacher isn't very happy about it
And because you are so experienced modders this won't take much time. (i think) Il be very, very grateful.

[NightEye]

Yeah they did, I found that out the hard way trying to add my own units.
As for the Arcani, I might try and make them but I'm not making any promises.
