AOR question

[Enyalius]

Ok so Ive been doing some noob modding by myself if you can even call it that. (on RS 1.6a)

and ive been thinking of making a few units recruitable to other factions but only in certain areas for example.. lets say scutari and caetrati and jinites(prob spelled that wrong) recruitable for any nations in spanish regions and for example numidian cav recruitable in northern africa and some gauls and cataphracts here and there along with cretan archers in crete and.. yeah you get the picture.

ive managed to figure out how to make units recruitable by nations by editing the following

RTW\Data\Export_Descr_Unit.txt
RTW\Data\Descr_Model_Battle.txt
RTW\Data\Text\Export_Units.txt
RTW\Data\Export_Descr_Buildings.txt

(many thanks to subrosa's post/guide)

when looking around in "RTW\Data\Export_Descr_Buildings.txt" I find citys called hop5 hop 6 and so on, andd unites that seems bound to cultures like greeks eastern roman etc (could be wrong here its 6:33 am and no I didnt just wake up ive been up all night) and theres cities called legio--

I know I cant siply say hidden resource spain or britain or northern africa I would have to type in all the city's names right? so what exactly would I have to do? is there some sort of file somewhere that gives away every city's name? and I dont want to mess up things for the original factions AAR eigher so that suddently carhage or whoever cant recruit their numidian cav in sicily.

The kingdom faction seem to have a pretty kick ass AAR should I try to impliment it into all factions or something ? Or is there a guide somewhere to where all this is explained perhaps? I'm sorry for the waste of space here if there is. and I'm sorry for disturbing you other guys on your work on RS

The best would be to ask here : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22

Otherwise, if there is a hidden resource that covers Spain, just add after the unit line in EDB, "and hidden_resource spain" without the quotes.

Thank you.

in spain RS has some hidden value called "west" so its "hidden_resource west" Tring to figure out the rest aswell but I think theres values called "gall" "germ" "cart" "gre" "arab" "central" etc wich is not faction spesific so with it anybody could recruit unites there. found the values in world-->maps-->base--> descr_regions also deleted the rwm file and the map_heights.hgt

I found a guide here

(for anybody else who wants to give this a try)

btw I dont think you need to bind Rome or sparta values into regions in order for you to recruite unites you can simply bind them to regions wich RS has allready bound some unites but I guess uf you want spesific towns etc you would have to use the sparta value? not sure. And I also think that theres some limit to how many citys you can bind units too (again not sure) anyway thanks for your time, for all those whose read. And to you for replying offcourse
