More Artillery Pieces in a Unit

[♔Icebear77♔]

Do you like artillery-battles like me, but you dont feel like you would be Napoleon with his huge artillery-units?

Here's a tutorial, how to change the amount of canons. The infantry- and cavalery-units wont have more soldiers after his change.

You need:

- 1 ETW

- 1 ModManager

- 1 DBEditor

- 1 mod_patch3.pack
Download: http://users.telenet.be/johan_eaf274/downloads/mod_patch3.zip


1. Step
Unpack and save the mod_patch3.zip into your Data-Folder (Ordner C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\data)

2. Step
Open the DBEditor and select on the left side the File mod_patch3.pack. Open this file.
(don't open the original Patch3.pack.-File. This file cant be changed)


3. Step
Disable "CA Packs Are Read Only"



4. Step
Open the table "unit_stats_land_tables\unit_stats_land



5. Step
The column "Size" and "#Artillery" has to be changed. Be carefull to change both column like x2, x3...
Each artillery must have enough soldiers. If 1 canon has 6 soldiers => 10 canons needs 60 solider (coefficient x10).

The data in this opened table are for unit-size "ultra". If you double all datas, these changes will also increase all unit-sizes (small, middle...)

If you double all datas, a ordinary foot-art has 8 canons and 48 soldiers.

Save your changes. This can take a pair of minutes (be patient / DBEditor will send no response for a short moment). If you have saved your mod-file, open the Modmanager, select your file, save the change and start ETW with the launch-button).


This mod will be compatible with BSM-Mod and for your campaigns (but not for saved-files)

Have fun generals

How would one do this if modmanager is not working?

As my information is correct, the orignal patch3.pack-file can not be changed. If this wrong, please correct me, but why does the Modmanager not work?

hey, i understand how to do all the unit editing and stuff, but there are a few things i want to get clear. I saw in your pics that it looks like you are using windows 7, would you happen to know how to make the user.empire_script file. But anyway with the mod_patch3 is that the only thing you can mod now or can you still create your own? And also whenever i try to start the mod manager 1.5 it comes up with an error message and asks me to either press quit or continue. When i press continue i can't do anything in the program and none of my mod packs show up. Would you know how to fix this mess?

hey mate, yes iam using win7. If you start your mods with the mod-manager, the programm will add your used mods automaticaly into the user.empire_script file. You havent to change it by your own.

I dont know from where you downloaded your mod-manager but i have used this link and it has worked fine
