Higher Lvl Units Activation?

[Teuton99]

Hi folks,

I'm pretty sure there was a trick or mod or somethin to make all the units ingame available from the start, so you don't need to wait for turn 50 or 100 or whatever.
Unfortunately I can't find the thread anymore...

Any help?

Ah great, will try that out. But you have to start a new game so that the changes will take effect, right?

[The_Richini]

Yep

What file I must modify for recruit the best units from start and not after 50 or 100 turns???
Thanks and sorry for my bad english!!!!

[Slobody]

You missed a "r" there "Strongest"

I would think Citadel guards, but i havent goten so far.

[Achilla]

Strongest ;d It's too obvious right now, TROLLS!

@Alxaro
His problem, he should have specified the thread name better.

As for his question he should edit export_descr_buildings to get rid of hidden resource and/or adjust campaign script to get rid of events that alter this. Alternative, events file can be altered too so you get access to the units in first 4 turns or so. It was answered somewhere, can't be bothered to search it now.

[Alxaro]

Did anyone read any further than the thread title? He was asking which file he had to modify to get the best units available from the start, not which unit is the strongest.

I do not know which file that is, and what you have to do. Sorry

Typical.

[Agostinos]

you need to do that for buildings, which aren buildable right from the start, in order to make them buildable right from the start

[larsverw]

I personally dont think theré's is a strongest unit. It's better to find out wich unit is effective against the enemy unit So i you're dealing with many horses built spearmen if you're dealing whit wel armoured soldiers build speartrowers etc etc...

[retep219]

The "descr_events" file needs to be modified...I think it is under Sega/Medieval II/mods/Third_Age/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign, but I am not completely sure on that point.

[Apostle Zodd]

What file I must modify for recruit the best units from start and not after 50 or 100 turns???
Thanks and sorry for my bad english!!!!

mods/third_age/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt

you will need to know what buildings are required which needs knowledge in the building tree depo.
otherwise leave it be or ctd.

[Fresco]

Then, in export_descr_building file, I cancel this:and event_counter large_city_barracks 1 for buildings that regards the strongest units!!!
Thanks Agostinos and very compliments for your fantastic new-units(please add other units) for this stupend mod!

And i've discovered that:1)"and event_counter large_city_barracks 1" regards units blocked until 50 turns; 2)"and event_counter huge_city_barracks 1" regards units blocked until 100 turns!!!

Thanks Agostinos!!!!

[Magicana]

The easiest way to get it is to change the following in your descr_events.txt located in "C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign"

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

event historic large_city_barracks
date 1 2
;date 48 56 turns

event historic huge_city_barracks
date 3 4
;date 96 104 turns

The parts starting with ; are not actual script lines

Exactly. Like i wrote in the link in post 2.

[Teuton99]

Funny thing all these people posting stuff not even related to the thread at all and others just posting the same stuff PerXX already explainedat the start. However thanks mate.

@Agostinos
Does that also unlock the trolls from the start or just the barrack units?

[Seleukos_I.]

i think that you will have to build the barracks by ourself. there also has to be something you'll have to do
