A Beginner's Guide to the Export_Descr_Unit

[Moon]

recruit_priority_offset, is used in Kingdoms, if you are not using that expansion comment it out, or delete it.

[Ishan]

It's for AI only and in medieval2.exe based mods like moon said it will give you a crash so comment it out.

i have kingdoms with patch 1.5
so when theres not that line what the ai does ? recruit every troop with the same ratio ?

[Ishan]

It does nothing as the priority is not set.

[anonimo272]

but i can set it ?
knowing that i have kingdoms...

[Ishan]

Yes you can if your mod is based on kingdoms.exe.

[anonimo272]

and what is the base number of recruit_priority_offset

and what means recruit_priority_offset 100 means each turn the ai will recruit 100 units ?

[Ishan]

Priority simply means preference given by the AI to recruit that unit out the selected units available to it.
And no it simply it means that AI will given more preference in recruiting that unit.

[anonimo272]

aaa
ok

so bigger the number bigger the preference, right ?

[Ishan]

Yeah and it can be negative also like -35 etc used for siege weapons, as AI wastes its money on them and in field battles they are useless anyway, used in a way that AI pays more attention to strong melee units etc rather than siege engines.

[anonimo272]

great i will make some units with -1000...
i will never see them again in the campaign map !
thanks !

[Ishan]

Baghlah is counted as one unit in it.

ok i have a question that isn't dirrectly linked on importing units but it does have some relevance to them... i have noticed (in RSII) that they have developed a launcher that enables the player to determine how many men will be in a unit on huge settings... you can change that number to whatever you want (as long as your comp can handle it). so i wanted to know is something like that possible to edit in kingdoms files and if yes, where? thnx

Hi,Master Ishan, Ive copied the Norway units from DLV to SS6.4 (13 in total). Followed the threads "Import units from other mods" info and all goes well.Iv'e removed 5 units from the EDU complete with there building track from either mercenries_text and EDB. so far so good,when Iv'e done the 6th the game CTD. Ive done everything text wise right however I have noticed that on custom battles if I choose Norway the units are still there which I've deleted along with the new units giving a total of 15 rows of 8 units. On comparison to other factions having the 15 rows but less units to choose from. Is it a limit factor of units per facton and how can I remove the non-required units to allow more changes. PS. the game is to be only set up for one faction so there is no issues with change of faction gaming. Please advise.
