Have different general units?

[AqD]

Hi all!

Anyone know how to make (non-recruitabed) generals to have different bodyguard units? Can I change it after it's spawned? By scripts or some hidden method.....

I want to give my parthian generals different units, such as early HA-type and later cataphract type(s), depending on their birth place and date etc.

Not possible, the only differentiation can be between 'early' and 'late' units, which is tied to the general_unit_upgrade attribute.

Dont know if its of any help to you but you can give any general in the descr_strat any unit you like as their bodyguard, but that only works for starting generals. http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=51375

Can't you do it also with like a Sparticus script? But you wouldn't be able to recruit this, just determine when they appear on the scene right?

I thought it was possible in Alexander : TW .. Look at LOTR-TW , they have custom generals

Don't know if this is what you're looking for... When you use the spawn_army command, it attached the new general to the 1st unit on the list.

That's the one I was suggesting, figured it wouldn't be long before you came along and explained it better HouseOfHam
