Augustus Caesar unit

[klysto]

I understand that unit is a highly powerful unit and was wondering if anyone has insight to change the Augustus Caesar unit to be my default family members unit permanently. I know how to edit so my starting family members are changed. But would like all coming of age Family members to change to this default unit and still have the recruitable generals with the early calvary.

And look for Roman General, both early and late.
Copy the lines form the Caesar unit to the general(s).

Then in export_descr_units
Remove the 'mount' from the general(s)

Sorry for not a throughly explaination.

[klysto]

thanks will try that.

if i remove mount from the Roman Generals will they still be recruitable named generals?

Is the Augustus unit on foot? Or did I miss something?

lol my bad

What's the Augustus Caesar unit?

[klysto]

saw a post saying a roleplay mainly unit. Can only be made in Rome after Reforms and after you build a castra_praetoria.

But if you change the general to the Aug Caesar model, it doesn't matter.
The general will not be affected by that you say.

Someone answer this question quick before a MODERATOR comes in and moves it to the Mod section of the forum where it belongs.

[Blackshamrock.]

I Have no idea.

Jingle, this is a unit you can recruit in the final stages of development in Rome. It's like a governor unit, you recruit it and you get a new family member who is not in your family, though can be adopted through man of the hour. They start with amazing traits and two silver chevrons, the idea being they replicate a new Emperor.

[icydawgfish]

Can someone post a screeny of the Augustus-Caesar unit?

[Lucius Tiberius Vorenus]

ummm, I'm still not quite following what exactly is going on here...

This unit is recruitable(ie like a Pro consul).... or... this will eventually be one of the Roman Family members through birth?

And why would this get moved to another forum? Seems quite applicable to RS. Prior to RS, I played SPQR the last year or more and never heard of anything like this. Before that EB, still never heard of Augustus Caesar unit.

The Augustus Unit can become a family member through Adoption. All what i did is after i recruited with a few Praetorians i crushed some rebels in italy and then i got the man of honour thing that allowed me to adopt him as a faction member.
This Augustus unit is now my faction heir and when he becomes faction leader il hire another one so he be the next heir and so on.

[klysto]

yes what jackwei says is right. You can recruit the Augustus Caesar which will be a random generated name/general. Getting the man of the hour will allow that general to stay with the Augustus unit when added to the family tree. But any male children he has will revert back to the early general calvary unit.

I just wanted any children born in the family tree to have this be their default unit. It stretches the lines but i dont intend to abuse the unit. If my new emperor family member is a military general then i get the perks of a great calvary unit. Otherwise for the most part my family members govern settlements. Of course the conflict comes when a daughter marries so her husband isnt of the bloodline, but i would avoid battles with him. But their son would be of the Caesar bloodline.

Yup, thats what most players do to get him to become faction leader

[Sandrus Castus]

Doesn't work for me. I even have destroyed a fullstack Carthaginian army.

[Taelok]

You have to keep trying. The Man of the Hour is not a sure thing, it can happen randomly sometimes, after a battle. I think it also depends on how many family members you have. The more you have, the less chance of a 'Man of the Hour' event.
