changing heros stats

[smityjr]

is it possible to change the stats of heros such as: Elrond or Glorfindel?
Ive looked everywhere i can think of but still cant find them!

[Lordinquisitor]

So which stats do you mean?

[smityjr]

i mean like their attack and defensive value etc

[Bloodzen]

Yes it is possible,just go to program files/SEGA/Medieval 2 total war/mods/third age/data and find the export_descr_units.txt file and find the hero unit you are looking for.
It will tell you at the top what everything means.

Hope this helps

As far as i know you can only change the attack/defence of the whole generals bodyguard unit.

Yeah I'm not too sure about changing the stats of the General himself,if thats what you want to do than all I can think of is adding traits and retinue to the general to give him more hit points and attack if thats possible.This is out of my league though so I cant help you with it.

Attack isn`t possible, sadly. Hp is the only real thing that you could give to empower a general on the battlefield.

They are below the Elven Nobles unit in the High Elves section.

Just look for "Glorfindels/Elronds Bodyguard".

You can also edit the attack and defensive stats of a general through traits.

[Lordinquisitor]

Nah, those only give him additional command when attacking/defending.

[YassirX]

You can make your own traits and anc's which give him additonal hitpoints, attack and defence.

Yes.

No.

[Russian Gondor]

Incase you have not noticed heroes have special powers.

[Seleukos_I.]

But they don't increase the attack of the heroes. Only for all units and only some powers.

[Russian Gondor]

Hmmm, in that case it would be impossible to increase hero stats because the generals/heroes stat is the same as the bodyguard. Unless they make a 1 man bodyguard with just the hero?

[Seleukos_I.]

Impossible.

[Russian Gondor]

How is it impossible? Make a 1 man unit. And make the stats like 100 attack or something, so you will have 1 OP hero. But when he dies you lose a lot?
