some questions

[Nicolaos]

well first of all i just wanna say that im not a modder, i dont know a lot about computers, just enough to have some ideas

how can i change the general portraits for a faction, i dont like it that harad and rhun share the same and you only get the beduin style pics.

second question, little bit more complicated.
my favorite faction or country in every LOTR game has always been Rhun, i just like their badass armor
kong did a fantastic job bringing them to life in TW.
however i dont like it that i get to recruit the bling bling guys only at turn 60, or even 70-80 until my cities are upgraded enough.

so i decided to check out what i can do to change the styles, my plan is to give the second set of units, clan warriors etc, the shiny loke armor.

1) cataphract

to start with i replaced the meshes and textures with those of the elite pike men.
i started a battle and instead of the cataphract guy there was sitting a pikeman on the horse, instead of the lance he wielded the pikeman's halberd and he had a shield on his back. but the cool part was that after the charge, he wielded a sword AND took the shield off his back.
i did the same with the clan guard and they used their pikes instead of the fighting staffs.

2) clan warrior

with the cataphracts adopting the new skin so well i decided to take on the next step and tried it out with the clan warriors, the guys wielding two blades.
i reaplced the mesh and texure files and checked if it worked and it did.
BUT:
instead of swords they are using long pikes, which doesnt look too good, and they have their shields on the back.

so the question is, how and which files to i need to change to give them the right weapons? what would i have to type in?

ok if kk didnt do rhun i have to excuse me to DG, and thank him, but anyway, TATW is the best mod i know, it doesnt even feel like a mod to me, it is more like a game
so thanks to the team

Well these are kinda complicated. Rhun & Harad share the same portraits and other visual elements because they fall under the same culture (middle-eastern). As all culture slots have been used up there's nothing that can be done about this unless you completely rearrange the mod in some way like remove the dwarf culture and put them under "northmen" or something which would be silly.

I wouldn't expect the answer to your 2nd question here because even those who know how to do what you ask are unlikely to have the time/patience to run you through it. But you never know I guess. People are usually directed at the tutorial section of the mod workshop in these cases.
