Help! unit renaming and other editing.

[Jacket60]

I was wondering if someone can help me with renaming the scythian units into sarmatian units. i need directions as to how to do it. also if i could get some advice on how to combine the four roman factions into one then that would be great!

Not to difficult

Go to the export_descr_unit.txt in data folder , and there search for the scythians unit (for instance , use search button and term 'scythia')

You should see something like this :

ownership scythia

Here , you shouldn't change anything .. this is just a lookup for the internal names (that means that these are the namers the game reads , but not necessarily the ones the game shows )

Now go to export_units.txt in the data/text folder ..

Here , search for the internal name , as listed in Export_descr_units (the prvious folder) The name they use in export_units is the one after 'dictionary' , and thus the one that is bold and underlined ..

now , you should see this :

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

{barb_peasant_scythian} Barbarian Peasants - Change this to Samratian Peasant for instance -

{barb_peasant_scythian_descr}
Expert at Hiding in Forests\n\nPeasants are reluctant warriors, but barbarian peasants are better fighters than most: hard lives produce hard men. Numbers are useful in all armies, and forcing peasants to fight is one way of getting lots of men in the field quickly and cheaply. They have little tactical sense, and even less willingness to fight - they would rather be defending their own homes than be dragged to a battle they neither care about nor understand. They are, however, experts at reading the land and hiding when there is cover.

{barb_peasant_scythian_descr_short}
Peasants are reluctant warriors, but barbarian peasants are better fighters than most: hard lives produce hard men.

Now , after this line : {barb_peasant_scythian} ; change the name of Barbarian Peasant to Sarmatian Peasant , as showed before

Save and quit .. Normally , the name should now be changed
