can someone help me?

[Hospitallers Kane]

i have the newest XGM extended greek mod ver. XGM 5.7.6
and there is a Unit that is from the AOR (area of recruitment)
called the indo-hellenic hoplites and and the free greek cities cannot recruit then and i was wondering what files must i edit for me to make them availible!
thanks

[ServiusTheGreat]

there a bactrian unit are they not i didnt know dime made them aor.....

[Hospitallers Kane]

are they im not sure because bactera can recruit them but theryre in the merecenary and AOR section

[ServiusTheGreat]

youll have to ask dime

[CaesarVincens]

Indo-Hellenic hoplites are only recruitable by the Bactrians currently. Where they are in Export_Descr_Units is not important as to who can recruit them.

[Hospitallers Kane]

so how do i make then available for greece

[CaesarVincens]

You need to mod export_descr_units to give the Greek Cities ownership of the indo-hellenic hoplites, then you need to add a line in export_descr_buildings so that they can recruit them.
That is the absolute bare minimum, you may also need to add a Greek Cities texture for the hoplites as well as unit cards and other things.
You may wish to ask this question in the modding forums as well, as I am not good with units.

Hospitallers, just a side note: Don't base these things off things seen in custom battle. Dime hasn't bothered to change it around to reflect faction unit/AOR unit in regards to a few facitons (Baktria included, as most of their units were purely AOR in previous versions, when they were Seleucid Rebels). So you can't really tell that Indo-Hellenics are faction specific rather than AOR.

Also, GCS can recruit Greek Hoplites, which have identical stats to the Indo-Hellenics, minus a couple morale points, so I don't know why you want them for GCS.

meh
i just like them
they're cool

[Balikedes]

It's always cool to make your gaming experience more fun...

[Scutarii]

Fair enough Not bashing your idea, as its totally your choice, and it is cool to have some hoplite variety.

[Hospitallers Kane]

so how do i do it lol

[Kara Kolyo]

You need to edit several files - export descr unit, export descr buildings, description_models_battle and to paste the unit and unit info card from the britons folders to greeks cities folders.
All these files are in the XGM directory, not the RTW one.
Have you done some rtw editing before? If not, it could take couple of reinstalls...
In EDU folder find the part with the hoplites and after britons add greek cities.
I have to go now, tonight will tell you more.

So Kane step by step.
Export descr unit entry should look like this

type greek bactrian hoplites
dictionary greek_bactrian_hoplites ; Bactrian Hoplites
category infantry
class heavy
voice_type Light_1
soldier greek_hoplite_bactrian, 50, 0, 2.8
mount_effect horse +4, camel +4
attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap, hardy, mercenary_unit
formation 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, square, shield_wall
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 7, 3, no, 0, 0, melee, blade, piercing, spear, 25 ,0.8 ; Hoplite
stat_pri_attr no
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,1.0 ; no weapon
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 6, 6, 5, metal
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 3
stat_ground -2, 0, -4, 0
stat_mental 12, disciplined, highly_trained

stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 1, 800, 400, 60, 120, 800
ownership britons, slave, greek_cities

In Export descr buildings the part for AOR barracks the bactrian aor should look like this

Bactrian AOR
recruit "bactrian archers" 0 requires factions { barbarian, carthaginian, eastern, egyptian, greek_cities, romans_brutii, macedon, seleucid, thrace, roman, } and hidden_resource bactria
recruit "bactrian horse archers" 0 requires factions { barbarian, carthaginian, eastern, egyptian, greek_cities, romans_brutii, macedon, seleucid, thrace, roman, } and hidden_resource bactria
recruit "bactrian cavalry" 0 requires factions { barbarian, carthaginian, eastern, egyptian, greek_cities, romans_brutii, macedon, seleucid, thrace, roman, } and hidden_resource bactria
recruit "greek bactrian hoplites" 0 requires factions { britons, } and hidden_resource bactria

In Descr model battle, the entry should look like this

type greek_hoplite_bactrian
skeleton fs_s1_hoplite ; hoplite
indiv_range 40
texture britons, xgm/data/models_unit/textures/unit_greek_bactrian_elite_hoplite.tga
texture greek_cities, xgm/data/models_unit/textures/unit_greek_bactrian_elite_hoplite.tga
texture merc, xgm/data/models_unit/textures/unit_greek_bactrian_hoplite.tga
texture slave, xgm/data/models_unit/textures/unit_greek_bactrian_elite_hoplite.tga
model_flexi xgm/data/models_unit/unit_greek_hoplite_bactrian_high.cas, 15
model_flexi xgm/data/models_unit/unit_greek_hoplite_bactrian_med.cas, 30
model_flexi xgm/data/models_unit/unit_greek_hoplite_bactrian_low.cas, 40
model_flexi xgm/data/models_unit/unit_greek_hoplite_bactrian_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite slave, 60.0, xgm/data/sprites/britons_greek_hoplite_elite_sprite.spr
model_sprite merc, 60.0, xgm/data/sprites/britons_greek_hoplite_sprite.spr
model_sprite britons, 60.0, xgm/data/sprites/britons_greek_hoplite_elite_sprite.spr
model_sprite greek_cities, 60.0, xgm/data/sprites/britons_greek_hoplite_elite_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

The last thing is to copy/paste the unit cards from the MERCS folders in UI and ui info to the gcs folders
have fun

[Hospitallers Kane]

Than you

[Kara Kolyo]

I just saw a mistake in EDB file - for the factions that can recruit the hoplites besides britons you should add grek cities. the easiest way is to copy the faction list from the bactrian cavalry. Remember to have the proper spaces and comas

[Hospitallers Kane]

ah
i borke XGM diodachi lol
