How to mod a unit just for one faction?

**King Beowulf** · July 26, 2009, 04:08 AM

I have been posting on these forums a lot lately with quite a few questions and I am sure this will be one of my last

so lets say I want to mod the dragoons just for Britain, how would I go about doing that with no errors? Thank you

Also I know how to create a new unit but other than unit_stats_land which other files do I have to edit to place them in the game?

A list as far as i remember follows, all in DB

building_units_allowed (controls which buildings feature the opportunity to recruit the unit)
unit_required_technology (controls what techs the unit needs to be recruited, irrelevant for the regiment of horse, but not for dragoons, etc)
unit_stats_land (controls stats, including the model)
unit_to_unit_abilities (controls the abilities of a unit)
unit_tables (defines the unit)
unit_to_exclusive_faction_permission (refines the grouping structure, disable the old and enable the new units here)
units_to_groupings_military_permssions (puts the units into recruitment-groups)

I have just done everything you said and are no errors but it does not show up in custom battles or the campaign at all? Where have I gone wrong?

Also I think I have done the units_to_groupings_military_permissions right because I only did it once for great_britain_group. Was this right?

You need to turn it on for early and late custom battles in the unit tables, and you need to add a localisation entry for it in localisation.loc.

Please can you tell me how to do that? Because I have no clue what or where localization is and how to add an entry! Thank you

What do you want to change?

Maybe the best way for you is simply make euro_dragoons_britain. This allows you to change the stats, textures, price and so on without crate a new model.
