How to add any type of horse to any cavalry unit(easy)

[AliAS]

It´s pretty easy.
For example we give English Demi Lancers eastern armoured horse.
First we enter export_descr_unit.txt and find Demi Lancers.
Find there mount and change this mount : heavy horse to this mount: eastern armoured horse
Save it and close EDU.

Now we have problem because England doesn´t have eastern armoured horse.
So we must edit battle_models.modeldb (the best is if you download this edit
battle_models.modeldb file by KnightErrant)
Find this 28 mount_eastern_armoured_horse

Save ti and close.

Last part is adding texture to England horse.
Just find egypt eastern armoured horse (me_armoured_horse_egypt.texture) and recolorize it in Photoshop and save it with name me_armoured_horse_england.texture here data\unit_models\mounts\me_armoured_horse\textures

Result



If you adding horse what that nation already have (for example mailed horse to england bodyguard (mailed horse have england templars)) everything what you must edit is edit EDU.

I hope it help you a bit.
