armenian legionairs

[Atticus]

i'm playing as armenia and how do you get armenian legionairs?
i have an imperial palace and to build the royal barracks, you need to build the irrigation first. but i looked at my building browser and there's no irrigation.

what do i have to do to get those legionairs?

[rory o'kane]

are they even in the game any more...?

[Confederate Jeb]

I don't think they are in this mod...sorry.

[century x]

You mean these.

[Confederate Jeb]

Woah, they are in the game? I had better go try out Armenia now...

Does Seleucid still have them then?

[Legio XV Apollinaris]

open EDU file (export_descr_buildings.txt) and scroll down to "building hinterland_farms" and write behind farms+3 and farms+4 "eastern" or "armenia"

here an example:

farms+3 requires factions { barbarian, egyptian, greek, armenia, roman, }
{
capability
{
trade_base_income_bonus bonus 1
farming_level 4
happiness_bonus bonus 1
}
construction 4
cost 8000
settlement_min large_city
upgrades
{
farms+4
}
}
farms+4 requires factions { barbarian, egyptian, greek, armenia, roman, }
{
capability
{
farming_level 5
trade_base_income_bonus bonus 2
happiness_bonus bonus 1
}
construction 6
cost 10000
settlement_min huge_city
upgrades
{

after that you're able to build the army_barracks and royal_barracks! the armenia legionaries are available after you finished to build the royal barracks!

Does Seleucid still have them then?

yes, they have them too! named as silver shield legionaries (greek legionaires)! they look a bit different as the armenia legionaries. more greek

[GreatOne]

Seleucid legionaires' info cards look like they are more greek, but in battle they look almost the same as the vanilla ones

[Jingles]

I like the Seleucid Legionnaires... Good for beating up the Ptollies with.

[Praetorian_Mossop]

I can't find the file you are talking about, I searched for it but there were only farms +1 and farms +2 then there was a new data subject.

[Jingles]

Am I right in understanding that theres a similar problem with the Carthaginian Sacred Band of Baal?

[Atticus]

@ legio XV

i changed the things you said, but there's still no irrigation to build

What version of the RTW game are you using?

I made these changes for the Armenian campaign that I was playing. However, I think I used 'eastern' rather than Armenia.

I can recruit SB but then I made the change to the file.

Are you using VISTA?

[Taelok]

As Brusilov said, I don't have a problem here either but I edited the file. I think without the edit, you won't be able to recruit them.

[Confederate Jeb]

So in order to get Sacred Band and Armenian Legionaries, we need to edit the game files? Crap, I'll probably screw it up somehow if I try...

[Legio XV Apollinaris]

@ Atticus

if you have build the proconsuls_palace in that city you should be able to build farms+3 (irrigation)

or perhaps Brusilov is right and you're using vista and you havent got the admin rights ?

@ Praetorian_Mossop

i think you have edited the wrong or a different file ?! check out your RS folder... i.e.

C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\data\export_descr_buildings.txt


@ Brusilov

i didnt know it exactly! long time ago that i played my last armenia campaign, but im sure 'armenia' works too! try it out guys 'armenia' or 'eastern'! one of those will work for sure!

[Praetorian_Mossop]

Ah thanks Legio I found it now, don't know how I missed that!

Got a question for you Vista users though, I try to save the changes to the text file and it keeps telling me that the files does not exist - I can't even replace the file with the changes. What is blocking me?

I'm on vista- pain in the ass when it comes to modding, well anything related to video games.

Move the text file to the desktop, where you can edit it there, move it back when you are done.

Happy hunting,

i'm not using vista, but i got it working now! an irrigation is being build while we speak...so thanks a lot, legio xv!

i know what i did wrong: because i didn't know where the.txt was located, i performed a search in my data map and i ended up in the importend_stuff! map where i first changed the things you said.

another couple of turns and soon i'll have armenian legionairs to take over the seleucid empire.

i'm not quite sure what my armenian legion will look like: a general, 10 units of legionairs of course, 4 units of (armoured) horse archers (man, i just discovered their value on the battlefield!), 2 cataphracts,...

if you take antiochia, or any city with a mini elephant or camel on the campaign map, can you recruit them in that city? (after building the needed buildings of course)

[Legio XV Apollinaris]

fine you got it work

@ Atticus

i have 3 different variants i use as armenia...

1 general 10 legionaries 2 phalanx 4 horse archer 2 cataphract archer

1 general 6 legionaries 6 horse archer 6 cataphract archer

and for a siege

1 general 10 legionaries 2 phalanx 4 horse archer 2 onagers



about the elephants ... nope not as armenia! if i remember right only parthia is the one and only eastern faction, that are abel to recruit elephants!

At the bottom of this post you can see some of the Armenian armies that I was using;

@GreatOne - yes I am fairly sure of that. I can recruit them as Carthage but I already edited the file. I think it's a matter that you can't build the higher level barracks (as irrigation +3 is not built). Check out your building browser.
