LAca's Byzantine Heavy Spearmen released

**Kaelic** · September 06, 2007, 04:39 PM

I've gone over and over the buildings, the unit files, they are definitely right. The only thing I could think being wrong is the modeldb file, would anyone be so kind as to upload a crusades modeldb file with just Lacas Spearmen in it? I pasted it on the end and added 2 to the value at the start as explained on page 2, but it seems to have very odd formatting in Wordpad or Notepad so that could potentially be to blame.

If you made a mistake in the battle_models the units wouldn't work in the custom battle mode either!

And as far as I understood your previous posts LAca's Byzantine Heavy Spearmen just don't show up in the tech-tree... isn't it?
Maybe you should give it a try to replace the Varangians with LAca's Byzantine Heavy Spearmen in the export_descr_building.txt...? (Back up current file first and make sure you pasted and copied correctly!)

Actually its not showing up in either, which is why I was more worried about the modeldb. Incidently I applied the same installation method to the Retrofit mod and got them in Custom and Campaign straight away.

what should be the new suggested stats and up keep. i am a big fan of kingdoms re balancing because units like the Varangian Guard are much better compare to the last update.

Will is work for TW: kingdoms?

Is there any way to make this work with the RetroFit Mod?

Hi there

I really like the look of this unit and am enjoying playing as the Byzantine Empire in Kindoms:Crusades campaign.

Can someone tell me exactly what I have to do to get this unit to work in that campaign?

I have little knowledge of modifying M2TW, but if someone can help me I would be forever grateful!

Thank you

the fix only works with 2 handed version, as they can only simulate pikemen when holding it with 2 hands. deleting the swords in EDU could make the one handed version work (dont delete the second weapon literaly, only copy paste from a unit with no second weapon).

has anyone tried this unit in the Grand Unit AddOn mod from Candelarious?

Despite all the directions posted in this thread, I cannot get this unit to work correctly...in fact, my game cannot get past the first loading screen. The mod quits 5 seconds after I start it up.

Anyone else have similar problems? Is this unit just incompatible with the Grand Unit AddOn Mod?

EDIT2: I am so sorry, i realized my mistake and corrected it.

But, since this post is here.... May i ask a request ?

Can someone please make a sword only version of these ? If thats possible, i mean.

Thanks, sorry again for my foolishness.
