General's Bodyguard

[Surgeon]

How does the game determine what sort of bodyguard accompanies a new general? For example, if I have two units which have the general_unit trait, one mounted and one dismounted, how would the game determine which unit a family member would get once he comes of age?

I have the same problem,please said me how know which unit for each general,in Pro Deo et Rege I want make Kwarzimian Mercenary Cavalry like Bodyguard Unit.I have added the mention "general unit" in the export_unit.I m tired of vanilla units....

[redxavier]

The game will pick the first unit in the EDU (i.e., top to bottom) that has the general_bodyguard attribute.

EDIT - that's the first unit belonging to that faction

"general_unit" you want said?same with this mention the general horse is present but general in flesh is invisible.
Thanks

Try it with removing "mercenary_unit". I have never encountered any problems with making units the general unit, but I have never tried with a merc unit. Those follow special rules when it comes to assign skins.

BTW, this looks like a very weak unit to entrust your family members to?

[VINC.XXIII]

ok,thanks konny,I will try that,they are week but they have real turbans^^,great looks,try PDER 1.0

[VINC.XXIII]

It works Konny,but the new family members(not recruited generals)by adoption or blood have the vanilla guard,how change that?

thanks

[konny]

As redxavier said, they get the first bodyguard in EDU valid for their faction. So you need to move the new bodyguard above the old in this file.

ok,thanks I hope that works,PDER EDU is different of other EDU

[konny]

No, it certainly isn't. Each EDU is the same, only the names and values of the units are different.
