Not sure if anyone has the answer, but it would be kind of cool to build a unit and then be able to recruit it.

The unit editor the game comes with, will those units be availble to build in campaign?

So the unit editor is purely for custom/mp battles?

No one knows really.
Probably MP/custom unless the editor is a separate program from NTW and has the ability to integrate with files in the main data archives for the game. (Which could possibly be modded to do so).
But yeah no one really knows. -

My best guess is that one shall be able to edit a unit after it has been built, but the unit types available will remain the same.

It would be cool, I really hope this is an option for the unit editor. I also hope the unit editor makes ui cards for the unit you create as well as bio pictures.

i am guessing the unit editor is just going to allow to change the color of your units and possibly the uniform but i doubt the latter will happen. And i am pretty sure you are going to be able to only change current units in game, not create new ones. And especially not allow you to change their stats or otherwise CAs business of selling elite units would come to an end.
To me, its going to be the most pointless tool ever, but i could be wrongJust like the elephant animation, this Carthage scenario is actually in the game, it just has a small percantage factor for showing up, that's all..."we're way way pre-alpha and what that means is there is loads of features not just in terms of the graphics but also in terms of the combat and animations that actually aren't in the game yet.So the final game is actually gonna look way way better than this!” - James Russell, CA

Lusted or someone from CA noted that the editor would allow people to create their own historical units. Originally Posted by spanish_emperor

On the contrary, people will be able to re-texture their own historical units which I think is the purpose of this. Not to make new units itself.To me, its going to be the most pointless tool ever, but i could be wrong -

What? That doesn't make much sense does it? Originally Posted by nameless

From what I got from the preview we'd be able to re-texture them or something. So I guess if John Doe doesn't think that the Elite British Dragoons look correctly, he should be able to use the editor to make it look what he wants them to look. Originally Posted by LiN

For the record I could be wrong but it is called "Editor" not "creator" -
Re: The unit editor the game comes with, will those units be availble to build in campaign?
Hmm, from the preview I had gotten the impression that would be allowed to create units using existing 'pieces.' I hadn't gotten the impression that all we were doing was switching the colors of currents units which is...pointless.
Blue fusiliers or red fusiliers?

You know, it's statistically proven that the Red Team wins more than the Blue team. So obviously the point is to switch your uniform to Red so that you have that statistical edge. Originally Posted by Thoragoros

The French did have red uniforms, the Swiss troops. Originally Posted by LiN

In NTW units have several accessories on them that are mix-matched in order to make the units more varied. What the unit editor will do is let you pick those parts and colors specifically in order to make a new unit. It's not exactly like having a brand new model but I'm sure you'll be able to make some cool stuff.

On another note, the small little details should add small stats to the units.
For example, Backpack A is heavy because it is big and it holds a lot of supplies. Backpack B is small and lightweight, but unable to hold a lot of supplies. So if you put backpack A on your troops, they won't run/charge as fast, but in the campaign map, they would lose less soldiers to attrition than if your units wore Backpack B.Last edited by LiN; January 31, 2010 at 08:47 PM.

Well, not quite as cool as a unit creator, but that should be pretty interesting. Originally Posted by Graphic

No one knows, but most hopefully it will include the "buildings_units_allowed" table, too.

It exists its called DBeditor (or whatever NTW's equivelant is) and an image writing program...

As user friendly as all of that is, when it comes to graphics, some of us are better programmers/wrtiers than graphics editors... Originally Posted by DoomBunny666
