Units becoming Obsolete

[Chevalier IX]

Alright then.I would imagine this might be more time consuming than it would be difficult if it is possible at all,but might anyone know of a way to make certain units unrecruitable and vice versa under certain circumstances(most notably certain years???)?For example,were there to be a mod thet encapsulated the mid renaissance through early modern era,is it possible to make the Armoured nights unrecruitable once we start maiing way into the 1600's,say 1618????any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated,and assistance will most definately be respected,appreciated,and repped

In your export_descr_buildings.txt file, search for Mailed Knights. Once you have found them, you should see something like this:

                recruit_pool "Mailed Knights"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { england, scotland, france, hre, spain, portugal, milan, venice, papal_states, sicily, }

To make them unable to be recruited after gunpowder is discovered, simply add this to the end of the recruitment line:

and not event_counter gunpowder_discovered 1

The final code should look like:

                recruit_pool "Mailed Knights"  1   0.2   2  0  requires factions { england, scotland, france, hre, spain, portugal, milan, venice, papal_states, sicily, } and not event_counter gunpowder_discovered 1

Do that for all Mailed Knights entries, and you're done! For a more in-depth analysis of the export_descr_buildings file, look here.

Yeap, it's easy.
Open the buildings description. Copy from a gunpowder unit the gunpowder event requirement and paste it to say... mailed knights. Then add a "not" in front of the "and event..." so it's "and not event..." that should do it.

LoL Commodore We had the same example with the same unit.

You could also take a look in the descr_mercenaries.txt you should see some date specific units in thier eg.

 
unit Welsh Longbowmen Mercs exp 0 cost 810 replenish 0.04 - 0.13 max 2 initial 0 start_year 1300
unit Welsh Spearmen Mercs exp 0 cost 470 replenish 0.06 - 0.18 max 3 initial 2 end_year 1450

I think that should work...
