    Icon5 Aditional informations for the units in text description of units.

    I want to change the text in the description of units for no matter which mod for players to have a better vision of what that unit can do.
    I know that in the first part of the text, even beneath the image unit, you can not write aditional informations because it is hardcoded, but below where it is written: "... it is most common during the king's x. ..", I want to add some additional features such as:
    Archers and javelins, Infantry + cavalry - the number of arrows or javelins, type of secondary weapon (if AP or not), shooting distance, such as the mental level (disciplined, highly trained).
    Infantry - spearmen, heavy, light - if they have different secondary weapon (there are some like this where I want to make changes), as it is the bonus against cavalry, if there is or something like the mental level.
    Light and heavy cavalry - the type of secondary weapon, how is the bonus against cavalry, as the mental level.
    Artillery - the number of arrows, stones or shells, drawing away.
    What I need, if anyone is kind enough to help me, is tell me where to look and then where to change. By the way, I looked at the site honga.net where are many interesting things, but he doesn't have the version do I care.
    Thank you very much!

    I think you're after the export_units.txt in the \text folder.

    When you're done editing export_units.txt you then need to delete export_units.txt.strings.bin, then start up m2tw to make the game rebuild it.

    Done

    Thank you verry much Taiji for your fast answer. I suppose in the export_units.txt I will find the text for the description of units, no? But where I will find the feature?

    You want export_descr_units.txt in the \data folder. That's where the stats for each unit are to be found and edited.

    Export_units.txt is for the descriptions, you're right. I think the only thing you'll need to know is that you need to type '/n' when you want to start a new line in the decription text. That's about as complicated as it gets.
