Change hero bodyguards

[Sas_Colfer]

I was wondering how i could change Aragorns(Gondor/Elessar) bodyguard to Gondor swordsmen. I think aragorn should be at the front of combat at all times and i dont want to keep riding him into spearmen.
He dismounted in RoTK to fight on foot next to swordsmen so its only appropriate.

Anyone know how I can change it?

File "campaign_script.txt", topic "ARAGORN", fragment "unit Gondor Bodyguard". Change it to "unit Gondor Infantry".

In regards to the campaign_script.txt I have always wondered what the campaign_script_LIMITED.txt was meant to do, is it to be used instead of the original and what does it change.

I want to implement your suggestion but I want to know which is best to use.

I think someone mentioned how to do this in The additional Heroes thread, ill try and find out.

Edit: Beat me to it...

[Sas_Colfer]

Aha, easy

Now, the hard part
Anyway to make that save game compatible?
I really dont want to start another gondor campaign, im quite far in.

[Seleukos_I.]

Not possible.

Here, try this.

Just extract to your Third_Age folder.

Didn't change anything for me :/

As Seleukos wrote, any desc_strat.txt change, regardless of some new .cfg file will require a new campaign to become effective, same goes out for any campaign_script.txt change.

Really? I did that going from the original Call of Warhammer mod to my Real Warhammer sub-mod, and the unit stats most defenitely changed. That's odd.

@ Sas_Colfer: I am really sorry that didn't help you.

Unit stats are defined in the edu, where changes are save-game compatible.

Also how do I change...dang whats his name, mind blank all of a sudden. Its hard getting old...

...the King of the High Elves, wozzis face...anyway how do I change his retinue as well? I hate them using cavalry.

if i would change gonder_bodyguards in let's say highelf infantry.. would that work? in that way i could have 1 unit of elfs in gondor army. It could work lorewise since elves came to helms deep for instance.. and where led by aragorn

That was only in the movies.
But you'd have to edit the modeldb too I guess which is sort of complicated form what I've heard.

i thought that in the book the elves also came to aid.. (could be wrong)

[Seleukos_I.]

so only units from the gondor roster can be used if i understand it correctly

Without heavy modding yes.

You are wrong.

[jo_dus]

actually he is right

[Muffer Nl]

Because the Elves do not have a reference to Gondor in the modeldb the game will crash. Even if you add them there are very often problems with this and more often then not they get silver textures on a first try.

RR/RC has some Gondor generals starting with infantry bodyguards, and HE generals too.
