use the unpacker in the tools folder in your medieval 2 directory, after the long unpacking, go to export_descr_unit.txt within the seperate campaigns in the mods section.

go to the export_descr_unit file

You can only edit the files by certain values so don't get too greedy in your tinkering.

yeah thats what i did in the first place.

im not new to editing units. used to edit on rtw and remember editing on med2. i think a patch is the problem.

i used the unpacker and changed the values. nothing changed. continued my campaign, tried a custom battle, tried a new campaign, no changes. i also restarted med2 multiple times in between all of those.

im having the same problem as zatara

As for this problem you're having, go in the UI folder and delete the 3 .sd files namely:
