Recruitement order

[CIaagent11]

Thught I ask, since you guys are always so helpful.

Which file determines in what order units come up in the recruitment part of a city?

Changing the order in export_descr_buildings doesn't do it.

Thanks.

Unit class and category and then EDU order. See HERE, it's near the top.

Edited, thx MoN.

[MasterOfNone]

and EDU order plays a part

That guide was helpful:

...light units will appear first, followed by spearmen, then heavy and finally missile

But I don't get it.
It's not that order at all on my screenshot.
It goes light, archers, light, heavy, cavalry, light, heavy, cavalry, light?!
Just mixed up.

I know Aradan and MasterofNone's advice holds true for custom battles, but how about campaigns?
Doesn't the order of the units listing in EDB matter? CIaagent11 says it seems not to.

The custom battle order and that in campaigns might be different, I didn't think of that.
What I mean is the order of units when I click on a city in a campaign and want to train units there.

Doesn't the order of the units listing in EDB matter? CIaagent11 says it seems not to.

I thought that export_descr_buildings is the file that determines the order, but it seems only to do that to a point.
That they are sorted after class (light, heavy etc.) seems also to be an aspect.
But the order is neither that in export_descr_unit, export_units or descr_model_battle.

Can anyone help?
I just dont like them all mixed up.

Just list all the class and categories (EDU) the way they appear from the graphic in your first post, then list their order in EDU and EDB.

Then work it out.

And post it here to share.

"Just" list ALL the orders...


Ok, the order in the campaign recruitement scroll, leaving out cavalry, is:
light western_peasant_alemanni
light exculcatores
light Town watch
spearmen bosphoran_infantry
spearmen steppe_heavy_spearmen_hun
spearmen gothic_foederati_infantry
missile aux german archers
heavy steppe_swordsmen_hun
light limitanei
light slav_raiders
heavy auxilia cohors
heavy bosphoran_warrior
heavy Legio Cohors
So it's not in order of class, and not the order from the guide with missile as the last

The order in my EDU is:
western_peasant_alemanni
Town watch
exculcatores
limitanei
auxilia cohors
Legio Cohors
gothic_foederati_infantry
steppe_heavy_spearmen_hun
steppe_swordsmen_hun
bosphoran_infantry
bosphoran_warrior
slav_raiders
aux german archers

EDB:
Town Watch
Western peasant alemanni

limitanei
auxilia cohors
legio cohors
exculcatores

The rest of the EDB order is kinda hard to tell, since there are so many enries.
But its not in the order as on the screen.

I can't work it out because none of the orders in the files is like the one in the game.
