Pontus Chalkispides recruitable in Seleucid Empire?

[Dom Pedro II]

Anyone know how to make Pontus Chalkispides recruitable in seleucid empire ?

Thx!

Open Roma Surrectum II/Play_Seleucid/Data/export_descr_unit and look for "pontic chalkispides". On the last line where it says "ownership", replace the word "pontus" with "barbarian, nomad, carthaginian, eastern, parthia, egyptian, greek, roman". Then open export_descr_buildings and search for the words "building merc_building". Under that line, you need to copy one of the units' AOR data. Example:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
recruit "phrygian heavy cavalry" 0 requires factions { parthia, nomad, barbarian, greek, egypt, armenia, } and hidden_resource area12 and hidden_resource r14
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Make a new line exactly like this underneath that line except replace "phrygian heavy cavalry" with "pontic chalkispides". After this go to Roma Surrectum II\Play_Seleucid\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign/descr_mercenaries and look for "pool Phrygia". Underneath "unit phrygian heavy cavalry" insert "unit pontic chalkispides" with the same stats. You can do this with any other unit if you want. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the answer!

I did everything like you said and now i can recruit "Chalkispides" but they have argyraspides models in battle and dont have normal pontic chalkispides unit card

What i know Chalkispides were also seleucid elite troops.

I tried this on my campaign; you're right, they seem to have Peasant unit cards and Agema skins. This also happens with Dahae Noble Cavalry when I try to make them recruitable. Usually this works for most units.. I don't really know how to fix it. If I had to guess, I'd say it was because the Argyaspides and Chalkispides both use the "elite phalangite" skin according to the EDU and this is somehow confusing the two. The "Hyrkanian" Mercenary Elite Phalangites look very similar to Chalkispides, you can always make them available on your roster with Mercenary Buildings and use those. Sorry I could not have been more of help, perhaps someone with more experience could solve this problem.

The problem is that Chalkispides can share the same unit slot as Argyraspides in descr_model_battle:

Which means a faction can only use one of this models for those units. Or that's what I understand with my limited modding abilities.

That's it.
It's the same model used with different texture for each faction.
The Seleucid already has one used, so it can't have both.
