Little bit of modding :D

So, just to start things off... I love Stainless Steel, it is great and it is the only reason why I bought m2tw. Anyway, I believe that when you conquer a faction or a city that another faction has owned you should be awarded the technologies and units they could recruit at that city. So, I was wondering if anyone could inform me on how to mod my files so when I conquer another factions city I can haz all there stuffs. Or to make things even easier, is there a way I can mod my files so I can just recruit those units as mercenaries or something?
I have noticed through the use of the "create_unit blahblahblah" cheat that when you have a unit that is foreign to your faction there is no unit detail, it's just a white shiny figure of a soldier. Is there a way to mod my files so I can pretty much create any unit in the game and it will have the original unit art? (Basically like having a mercenary)

If you don't want to post it publicly just PM me and I will keep it confidential. Promise

You would require a LOT of modding to do that. But if you have not noticed in 6.3, you get the locals from their area. So early on this makes a big difference in recruitment. Even later, all of your militia will be local to the area not the nation.

I don't believe it would require a lot of modding to just make all units available to all factions... It would simply be a case of "copy and paste" and maybe adding a word or two in some files.

If you destroy a faction you would get all there units recruitable...make sense in a way and would like it but i think you would become to powerful as the game evolves.
Actually you can recruit units now from other factions playing as the roman empire though. f.e. arquebastiers.

We already have that partially with AOR units in 6.3 and the RR/RC compilation. Have you checked them out?

Try Historydude s advice and your downplaying the necessary steps a bit imho.

To remove all silver surfers and the such? Copy and pasting sure but tons of it! And yes, RR/RC included with 6.3 does a lot of that, very good game you should try it.
