Two Questions

[Swanny777]

1. How do I take a unit from one mod and put it into another? I like the game mechanics of Stainless Steel, but another mod has a unit that I really feel is missing. (Spartan Hoplites).

2. How do I edit the strength of a unit? I want to make a units stats quite a bit higher than they are, but I have no idea how to mod this.

Thank you,

Swanny

What mod are spartan hoplites from?

2. How do I edit the strength of a unit? I want to make a units stats quite a bit higher than they are, but I have no idea how to mod this.

first you have to unpack your game files(note that after you unpack the files, you will need to delete the two descr_geography_new files), then you go into the file called export_descr_unit. Then go to the unit you wish to edit. here is an example:

type             Dismounted Imperial Knights
dictionary       Dismounted_Imperial_Knights      ; Dismounted Imperial Knights
category         infantry
class            heavy
voice_type       Heavy
banner faction   main_infantry
banner holy      crusade
soldier          Dismounted_Imperial_Knights, 48, 0, 1.2
attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, hardy, can_withdraw
formation        1.2, 1.2, 2.4, 2.4, 3, square
stat_health      1, 0
stat_pri         9, 3, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, blunt, mace, 25, 1.2
;stat_pri_ex      0, 0, 0
stat_pri_attr    ap
stat_sec         0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, melee_simple, blunt, none, 25, 1
;stat_sec_ex      0, 0, 0
stat_sec_attr    no
stat_pri_armour  8, 3, 6, metal
;stat_armour_ex   8, 9, 0, 0, 3, 6, 6, metal
stat_sec_armour  0, 0, flesh
stat_heat        6
stat_ground      1, -2, 3, 2
stat_mental      5, normal, trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300
stat_cost        1, 540, 225, 75, 55, 540, 4, 130
armour_ug_levels 4, 5
armour_ug_models Dismounted_Imperial_Knights, Dismounted_Imperial_Knights_ug1
ownership        hre
era 1            hre
era 2            hre
;unit_info        9, 0, 17

Now then, edit this part of the file:

stat_pri         9, 3, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, blunt, mace, 25, 1.2

the nine in blue the amount of damage it does, This cannot go beyond 63. Just change this number to the desired amount.

What mod are spartan hoplites from?

Thera, A New Beginning. It is a fantasy mod. I am not a big fan of the mod, but I really enjoy the Spartan units.
