changing cav rider models

[Nuxes]

I'm working on a mod that adds more units to the minor factions, starting with the pirates. As you can see, I successfully a created a new unit called Pirate Dragoons, based on the Americas Dragoons, and added them to the pirate faction. My question is, is it possible to change the model of the rider to say, the Buccaneer model, and still have them ride correctly and use the carbine and saber?

This is the units_stats_land data for the americas dragoons that I based the pirate dragoons on.

americas_dragoons    80    80    0    euro_officer1    euro_bugler        euro_dragoons    infantry_euro_medium    rider_musket_sabre    x_euro_cavalry_musket_sabre    3    leather    1    horse_mixed_browns    horse_medium    mount_horse    5    1                    False        carbine    25    10    0    flintlock    musket_flintlock    10    dragoon_carbine    sabre    9    6    5    0    mounted_slash    0    drill_set_cavalry    trained    8    4    2    4.5    4    9    1.1    2    0    0    False    False    False    True    False    False    False    True    False    False    False    False    False    False    50    75    100    False    True    False    False    False    False    False    False    True    False    False    True    False    False

Could I change the euro_officer1 and euro_dragoons to euro_pirate_officer_land and euro_pirate?

Try giving it a go? It might work.

You can change euro_officer euro_pirate_officer_land. But if you change dragoon model to pirate then all americas dragoons of other factions will be pirates. You have to create a new unit on a base of americas dragoons (plainly copy/paste work with changing unit ID) and change the model IDref to euro_pirate

I created a new unit called Pirate Dragoons, I guess I wasn't clear about that. Thanks for the advice, I will give it a try.
