Awesome bug doesnt crash my game!!!

[S.P.Q.R. Praetorian]

I was editing the export_descr_unit.txt file Legio II Traiana Fortis. I made a edit to the first cohort but not the regular cohort. When the first cohort fights they hold their pilums like the spartans and stab guys like their using spears. They dont throw the spears but they stab with them. My digital camerasbatterys died but when I get new ones I will show you some in game shots.

Cool.

[mdg1125]

You probably replace the primary weapons as a spear instead of the pilum which keeps them from throwing the pilum. Thats why its doing that. Do you remember which part of the text you edit?

I will give you pictures when I get batterys for my camera. I will also make a download link for the file if someone has a spare copy of RS. DO NOT use this in your main RS game I dont know what it would do but make a backup copy of export_descr_unit.txt first before overwriting it with this if you wish.

If its okay with dvk I dont want to violate the license agreement.

[mdg1125]

Thats wiered I would have thought that

stat_pri_attr prec,thrown ap

would have been removed so they won't throw the pilums.

I dont know why but its kind of cool because enemys cant get close to my guys with spears.

Have you installed BI.exe yet. If so you can get new formations like shield wall and schiltrom. I think you can even have a schiltrom phalanx which look like a giant ball pin cushion the best defense ever.

Well, anyone is free to alter this mod as they wish for their own personal pleasure, but also, if anyone posts something in here, and you download and install it...don't ask for help in here. I have enough trouble keeping track of what I did...let alone what someone else is doing. And I mean DON'T ASK.

As for those stats you posted there 'S.P.Q.R. Praetorian', what IS the point of making a unit so unrealistically powerful that it owns everything? Really, I'm a known 'Roman lover'....but if you make a unit that powerful you take all the challenge out of it. A whole Legion with those stats could probably conquer the map and never even break a finger nail. :

Acctualy thats not true. I have a hard time with stats like that winning battles. You know why? Defence max is 80. Most units like carthage spearmen have 71 therefore my romans dont have a defense advantage.
Also attack is 63 max most units average 40-50 therefore my romans dont have a huge advantage attack. Also if I have a captain and the enemy has a general and we have the same number of men most times I lose in a close defeat. I started a new campaign with Rome with those stats on ALL my units. Here is my battle won/loss report. 23 battles won, 17 lost. You know why, those stats dont go as high as you think they do. No offence. But they arent as strong as it looks. If you think im lying Ill put a download link for the export_descr_units.txt file for download and you can try it yourself.

Speaking of bugs dvk said the 1.0d hotfix would be released today. I dont see a link.

[Squid]

Please don't spread rumours, dvk said it would be released internally, you aren't getting it yet

[dvk901]

It has been release to the team...so we'll do a little testing and make an installler.

Cool. By the way I was doning that to test my string editing abilities furthur. I did that to all my units to see if I could do it without any errors. I had 3 so I must be improving. Right now I have a fresh install of RS with NO mods. Im not a fan of cheating.
