Stupid Question from a Stupid Person

[Baybars]

Hey, forgive me for my ignorance but i've been wanting to create an AAR for my Khwarezmian Campaign. I'm trying to use the cheat to create a unit but it doesn't seem to be working. The Cheat goes as follows:

create_unit "Urgench" Khwarezmian Lancers 2 9 3 3

And it can't recognise the unit, tried everything, can somebody help me out? I'm probably doing something extraordinarly stupid, but I'm still a noob so....please don't eat me guys..

Use the quotation marks around the unit instead, and get the unit name from the descr_buildings thing where it lists what units are made where.

For example, if I wanted heavy ghulams, it would be:
create_unit Urgench "ghulams heavy" 5 9 3 3

Hope that helps!

That's not their name, friend in BC. The database names which the computer works by are often not the same as their display name which appears to the player. Refer to export_descr_unit in your data folder to figure it out, sometimes it takes a while.

Anyway, here's "Khwarezmian Lancers" for you. Khwarezm replaced Spain in BC development:


type khwarezm heavy lancers
dictionary khwarezm_heavy_lancers ; khwarezm heavy lancers
category cavalry
class heavy
voice_type Heavy
accent Arabic
banner faction main_cavalry
banner holy crusade_cavalry
soldier khwarezm_heavy_lancers, 24, 0, 1
mount bc half cat
mount_effect elephant -4, camel -4
attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, hardy, can_withdraw, can_formed_charge, knight
formation 2, 4.4, 3, 6, 2, square, wedge
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 7, 10, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, spear, 25, 1
stat_pri_attr no
stat_sec 8, 10, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, sword, 10, 1
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 14, 6, 6, metal
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 5
stat_ground 0, -2, -4, 0
stat_mental 12, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 45
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 1, 1680, 450, 120, 95, 1680, 4, 180
armour_ug_levels 5
armour_ug_models khwarezm_heavy_lancers
ownership spain, slave


So:
create_unit "Urgench" "khwarezm heavy lancers" 2 9 3 3
It is case-sensitive. If you want to find more Khwarezm units, I found this listing of their heavy cavalry about 60% scrolled down, or you can use Ctrl-F (find feature) and type in "Spain" to look for more Khwarezm units. Many vanilla units are still there.

Welcome <- cheater extraordinaire. I figured out everything EXCEPT for how to move characters when TWO people have the same name on the map: "Captain Ibrahim" and "Captain Ibrahim" - there is some system to it that was mentioned in a Rome: Total War forum but I forgot to save the link.
