Decrease General's bodyguard unit.

**^Gr8^Xander** · June 28, 2007, 11:54 AM

Hi,

I'm a noobie in modding, and need some of it for a movie I'm planning to make.

I want to have a General's bodyguard to be decreased from (in SPQR mod) 26 soldiers, including the general and a banner carrer, to only the General, a bannercarrer and maby one/two bodyguards.

Sorry if there's already a topic about this, then please give a link and close this one.

- Xander.

The bold part is for ordinary soldiers.
look in the top of export_decr_unit and the line "soldier". It explains.

Oh, I forgot to tell; I already tried to modify that text doc, but the game kept getting CTD's all the time.

Familiar of the show_err "command"?

**^Gr8^Xander** · June 28, 2007, 01:03 PM

Hmm no... As I said, I'm a *****ing noob on the area of modding things...

The Hardcoded minimum of units in a group is 12.

Okay.. but, when you have a look at the Scipii/Brutii/Julii intro's (when starting a vanilla campaign) you see they have a General with only one bodyguard.

But I assume I gotta do this by first letting him charge a phalanx, to let most of his unit die?
