spartan units

[Pinkie Pie]

can the spartans be routed on xgm and if so how do i make it so they cant?

it seems rather innacurate that they would run from a battle

[Boriak]

I think you would have to use the perfect hammer/anvil technique to make the Spartans rout which the AI is not capable of doing. If you are fighting against AI Spartans, just surround them and they will fight to the death.

[Pinkie Pie]

no, i want them to be incapable of routing no matter what
im not fighting them and trying to kill them all
i just want them to be accurate which means they would never rout

the Spartans had a gruelling heroic code, where by no Spartan was to return home if he lost a battle. This was regarded as the highest shame, and Spartan citizenship was taken away to those who returned. This dishonour was unthinkable. To be stripped of your citizenship was like having an armed ripped off for a Spartan warrior.

Go to your xgm/data folder and open the EDU (export_descr_unit) find the SRG and put the the first number to a very high number

stat_mental 100, disciplined, highly_trained

And 300 isn't an accurat source of information.

[Pinkie Pie]

as far as i know i didnt say anything about 300
however meet the spartans is obviously accurate so i get info from there

and is that it? i thought that only made it extremely difficult to route them rather than making it impossible

another question
how do i limit the amount of spartan units that can be trained at a time
im making them stronger, free to train, 0 turns but to go with that i want to limit the maximum amount to only 3 units whether ai or human
also im wondering how to make them trainable with any level barracks

*edit*
just realized they are trainable in any lvl barracks
now to find out how to limit the amount of them that can be on the map
i know there are limits on certian units in etw so it should theoretically be possible to limit the spartan royal guards

[Pinkie Pie]

sorry about the double post but most people dont check these things if it says no new posts

can someone upload the stock export_descr_unit file from the newest xgm mod
i changed mne too much and forgot to make a backup

There is no way to have a recruitable unit be limited in number in RTW.

Which exe?

[Pinkie Pie]

for a second i was wondering what you were on about

I'll have to download and Install first my copies are heavily modded.

[Ferdiad]

Here you go.


Sorry for double post

Here you go.


Sorry for double post

thnx

giving them high upkeep and high training time is kind of the opposite to what i want
i want them to be a unique unit that will always be on the map, be very rare and slaughter armies on their own
if they cost tons and take ages to train then the ai wont train them everytime they lose them

and its a pity its impossible
i will continue searching though

[Ferdiad]

Very high upkeep maybe?

[Hurlbut]

No, High recruitment cost AND lengthy recruitment time.

[Ferdiad]

The AI will recruit them if their stats are good enough,so set the recruitment time so that there can only be 3 or 4 made in the whole time you play.

[Pinkie Pie]

but i want them to ALWAYS be there
so that would mean 0 training time
which means they would be mass trained

[Belisarius500]

is it even possible to set training time to 0 a still be able to recruit units?i tried it once in RTW hoping to have 9 cohorts produced per turn and nothing happened. to be more precise,the que was always full and no units were ever recruited

[Pinkie Pie]

yes
go into unit desription and use the search to find the unit you want to change (ctrl+f) and where it says "stat_cost [1], 150, 100, 20, 30, 150" change the bracketed number to the desired number of turns you want them built in

[Ferdiad]

For a quicker way go to edit > replace and type in "stat_cost 1" in the first box and "stat_cost 0" in the bottom box and hit replace all.It's very efficient.

Without the quotation marks obviously.
