how to add more cost of man to unit that when u buy unit at campain it will cost more pepole

[Roman_Man#3]

I see two possible answers for the question. One is if you want more men in the unit, thereby making the unit size bigger. The other is making it cost more to recruit the unit. I will answer both of these though. Remember to make a backup of the file we will be editing.

1) Making Unit Size Bigger
We will be making Hastati have more men in each unit for this.

Find your way to the Rome Total War folder. On a normal install, it should be in either of these two locations:

Regular Version

• C:/Program Files/Activision/Rome - Total War

Gold Edition or Eras

• C:/Program Files/The Creative Assembly/Rome - Total War

Now go into the Data, and open the file export_descr_unit.txt in notepad. Now press Ctrl+F, and search for hastati. You should be taken to a section that looks like this:

type             roman hastati
dictionary       roman_hastati      ; Hastati
category         infantry
class            light
voice_type       Light_1
soldier          roman_hastati, 40, 0, 1
officer          roman_early_centurion
officer          roman_early_standard
attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap
formation        1, 2, 2, 3, 4, square
stat_health      1, 0
stat_pri         11, 2, pilum, 35, 2, thrown, blade, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr    prec, thrown ap
stat_sec         7, 2, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, sword, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr    no
stat_pri_armour  5, 4, 5, metal
stat_sec_armour  0, 1, flesh
stat_heat        3
stat_ground      2, 0, 0, 0
stat_mental      6, normal, trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        1, 440, 170, 50, 70, 440
ownership        roman

Right now, I am only telling you how to make more men in a unit. Go to this line:

soldier          roman_hastati, 40, 0, 1

The roman_hastati relates it to an entry in DMB, do not worry about that now though. 40 is the part we will be changing. 40 is the number of men for normal size settings. Increase it to 60, and it will be the size of Barbarian units like warbands and Phalanx units like Phalanx Pikemen.

2) Making it Cost MoreWe will be making Hastati cost more to recruit

Find your way to the Rome Total War folder. On a normal install, it should be in either of these two locations:

Regular Version

• C:/Program Files/Activision/Rome - Total War

Gold Edition or Eras

• C:/Program Files/The Creative Assembly/Rome - Total War

Now go into the Data, and open the file export_descr_unit.txt in notepad. Now press Ctrl+F, and search for hastati. You should be taken to a section that looks like this:

type             roman hastati
dictionary       roman_hastati      ; Hastati
category         infantry
class            light
voice_type       Light_1
soldier          roman_hastati, 40, 0, 1
officer          roman_early_centurion
officer          roman_early_standard
attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap
formation        1, 2, 2, 3, 4, square
stat_health      1, 0
stat_pri         11, 2, pilum, 35, 2, thrown, blade, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr    prec, thrown ap
stat_sec         7, 2, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, sword, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr    no
stat_pri_armour  5, 4, 5, metal
stat_sec_armour  0, 1, flesh
stat_heat        3
stat_ground      2, 0, 0, 0
stat_mental      6, normal, trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        1, 440, 170, 50, 70, 440
ownership        roman

We want this line:

stat_cost        1, 440, 170, 50, 70, 440

This is a breakdown on what each one means:

• 1 - Number of turns it takes to train the unit on Campaign Map
• 440 - Cost of unit to train on Campaign Map
• 170 - Cost for each turn after you train the unit. Upkeep
• 50 - Cost for upgrading the weapons
• 70 - Cost for upgrading Armour
• 440 - Cost for custom battles

I will leave you to change it as you see fit.

Hope it helps,

If you increase the size of the unit, that many men will be taken from the cities population. So if I train an 80 men unit, 80 men will be taken out of the cities population. So increasing the unit size will increase the amount of men taken from the city.

No problem and,
