Polemarchia Total War: first download

[Prof]

I thought, I might give you one unit as some kind of appetizer for the mod
And so I present you: The Persian War-Era hoplite, which will be used by nearly all the greek city states during the first era of the mod.
Have fun using them, give me lots and lots of reputation for it and don't forget to check out our mod once we are done.

and here is the link:

Have fun ^^

[Kalos]

Give me lots and lots of reputation for it too, because I'm cool and part of the team.

Okay, downloaded your unit, followed the readme, made it to the custom battle loadout, and...now my hoplites are invisible.

Here's my entry in the export_descr_unit. Does anything appear off?

EDIT: The sum of entries in the battle_models.modeldb should be increased by 4, correct?

[Kalos]

Did Prof include a readme? Ah well, I dunno what the problem is. The modelsdb file scares me, to tell the truth. But he'll answer you when he gets on next and if he doesn't I'll talk to him about it.

sorry strickerjd, i will say, Pnutmaster!!
you whrite this lines, i have faillure too

[Rorarii]

Great to see a Ancient M2 mod ... but those spear points look YUK! like silver icecream cones. I think hoplite spear points were leaf shaped.

But those skins are ... just goes to show the potential of M2 mods.

Well done.

[Riannorix]

the game launch now, with modifications, byzantium have a hoplites but they have a portrait of peasant, it's normal!!

i choice my unit and for ennemy, then, there is a loadgame and CTD; return to windows!!

i delet the files:
descr_geography_new and descr_geography_newdb!!

[Serious Spamurai]

Yes, It should be increased by 4.

[TheFirstONeill]

you alos need to change the attributes line to ::
attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, hardy, can_withdraw, mercenary_unit

so the unit will use the merc skin

cheers
Jason

Have them working, beautiful work sir ++REP

Duh! Forgot all about that. Thanks, ONeill, problem solved

[TheFirstONeill]

ive addded some screen shots of them into my gallery, feel free to browse

[strikerjd]

can someone add the vanilla code files with the new units, please ?
I have not enough space in my hard drive to decompress the game and access the file.

You will be highly granted !

[TheFirstONeill]

sorry I cant, Ive added them to a heavily modded EDu, there are like 12 new units in there, so wouldnt work for you sorry

[Riannorix]

strickerjd, i am adding files in your box pm!!
where are you in this tutorial?
i cant help you!!

[Ahiga]

Ignore the buckets of blood. It's from when I installed the Longest Road and went with their bloodiest option. Been meaning to remove it.

It was very awesome. A real pushing match, and the units look great.

[strikerjd]

i have CTD too.

i only ask:

what should i write in battle_models.modeldb ?
what should i write in export_descr_unit.txt ?

(no more for having playable thing ?)

i want to see this in M2TW. and if i can see it, i can do lot of things later (... for you !!)

[Riannorix]

you whrite in models.modeldb, the lines who are in the read me
you whrite in the export descr_unit the lines, prof has give!! it's same structure that in files of rome!!

[strikerjd]

prof never send the export descr_unit , or give me the link.

[strikerjd]
