What does the entries in descr_character.txt mean?
Is it connected with descr_model_strat.txt?

Well if you read the top of the file its pretty self explanatory.

type = character type
actions = what actions the character can perform
wage base = salary
starting_action_points = movement on the strat map

The faction section refers to what model to use for each faction on the strat map.

Yes, but this what does this mean;

faction scotland
dictionary 2
strat_model northern_captain
battle_model Northern_Captain
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

?
What is the difference betwen northern and southeren captain?

Southern refers to the southern european character, and northern refers to the northern european version.

**GrnEyedDvl** · August 29, 2007, 02:25 PM

Its just a model with a different look.

**Milos98** · August 29, 2007, 02:43 PM

So if there is

faction scotland
dictionary 2
strat_model southern_captain
battle_model Northern_Captain
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

,
in model strat scotland should have southern captain model in model_strat?
