Unlocking High Period units

[Greenstone11]

I would like to access the high period units earlier or from the start because by the time 128-144 turns have passed the world is usually controlled by 1 or 2 factions, and i'd like to have a campaign with high period units battling. I tried to change the date for the trigger in the desc_events for the early campaign but it said I couldnt overwrite the file and that it was a ReadOnly file. Is there Any way to unlock high period units earlier? I eagerly anticipate the release of the high period campaign.

As you say you anticipate the high era campaign release, i understand, but just pay a bit patience, perhaps with the next or overnext release it will be out as first approach.

As it is now, you would have to let the Mongols appear earlier, because the High Era units are tied to the event "Mongol Invasion".

What you could do, though, is change the EDB-file such that the units are tied to another event. Chose an event that is near the time you want to have the high era units and replace the points in the EDB where it says "and mongol_invasion_warning" (or something similar) with the name of your chosen event.

It is not too difficult to do, but you need some time to figure things out.

The new version must be better balanced. I am nearing the Mongol invasion and there are still 10 legit factions left Aragon (me), France, England, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Byzantine, Armenia, Egypt, Mongol.

I have a distinct advantage having control of the entire Western Mediterranean coast, but I haven't dominated yet. If everyone managed to gang up on me and I had a few bad breaks, I could still lose in theory.

If you don't want to wait so long, you could always increase the starting date to start around 1125.
