problem with generals/captains, not showing up?

[Amorphos]

i don’t know why but i get macedon generals for most factions except greeks, i think the macedon lesser general is a generic captain. the thing is, all the generals for factions like egypt are as vanilla in the DMB, so why don’t they show up?

below is the DMB and EDU files, if you wish to have a look at the coding; press ctrl+f and type; egyptians, to go straight to their section. the generals are in their normal place.

can someone please help me with this, i would hate to terminate my mod due to lack of experience, after working on it four 200 hours or so, and with 99% of the units done!

please please help!

btw i have changed the coding of the above files back to how they were set out in vanilla, but i got roman captains now. how can i get rid of them or make the game use the right ones?

I believe you determine both the strat and battle general models in descr_character.txt

; strat_model model to represent the character on the strategy map
;
; battle_model model to represent the character on the battle map (optional)

type               named character

faction            huns
dictionary        2
strat_model        BI_sm_huns_general
battle_model        BI_general
battle_equip        gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

ah i see, i added new generals to the greeks, by adding the line...

officer greek_general

...in the EDU

so i presumed that the captains are automatically added as they were not in that file, but also thought it was hard coded. thanks for that i will change it all in the descr_character.txt then.

cheers!

officer greek_general

...in the EDU

That just adds an additional officer to the unit. When you load the game, you'll see one man of the greek_general unit walking beside which ever unit you assigned that to.

i see. i just had a look at the file ~ can i use the same generals etc on the strat map?

thanks again.

You should be able to use any unit on the strat map. Just code them in the strat_model section.

Good luck
