Hoplite Mod for RS
Updated: Version 1.1, now adds the short_pike attribute to all hoplites in the game apart from the overhead City hoplites, for more realistic hoplite phalanxes. This has been done for hoplites of all factions including Greeks, Pergamum, Syracuse and Bosphorans.
I have also enabled the Greek City Hoplites for use in custom battles. Didn't you think it odd before that in custom battles, Syracuse and Pergamum couldn't select their OWN hoplite units? Well now they can. It will hopefully breathe a little life into Roma Surrectum before RS2 comes along.
Instructions:
Extract the ZIP archive to your Roma Surrectum 'data' folder and click 'yes' to overwrite. In case of any problems, make a backup of your export_descr_unit.txt file.
Before you extract it to your data folder, delete the 'HOPLITE MOD' part on the end of the name of the text document enclosed within the ZIP archive, so that the game will recognise it.
