how do remove the pikemen's rubber knives again?

I just want to go into program files and remove it for Britannia Campaign, but if it worked for my previous save (which I know it doesn't) it would be great.

Do not need a mod, just want to get rid of the stupid toothpicks they use to fight in melees.

Go into the EDU and for the secondary weapon line (stat_sec) for the pike units, change it to:

Code:

stat_sec         0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, melee_simple, blunt, none, 0, 1

And yes it should be savegame compatible.

An alternate option is to, rather than remove them, make them rarely used.

Code:

stat_pri         6, 4, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, spear, 25, 0.85
;stat_pri_ex      0, 0, 0
stat_pri_attr    spear, long_pike, spear_bonus_8
stat_sec         3, 1, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, sword, 25, 0.15
;stat_sec_ex      0, 0, 0
stat_sec_attr    no

You see how at the ends of the stat_pri lines I replaced the ones with other numbers? Those are preference numbers. The 0.85 at the end of stat_pri compared with the 0.15 at the end of stat_sec mean that the pikemen prefer using pikes over swords.

No, what I needed is a walkthrough to the place I go to in program files. (I know how to get to the area where I can make all the factions unlockable)

You need to edit the export_descr_unit so you open it use ctrl-f to find the unit you want to modify and remove the swords with the instructions above.
