export_descr_unit...editing reverts back to default

[Leonidas42]

When i Edit a unit, it doesn't save how I want it to, it reverts back to its default settings. It has only happened as soon as Roma surrecturm starts back up. any ideas?

Tried the "read-only" trick and it didn't work. Rome-total war is saved in My Documents so it has nothing to do with the UAC.

WOW, I just now (30 seconds ago) registered solely to ask this very question... creepy.
I have the same problem as Leonidas42.

I tried saving the file to my desktop. deleted it from data. edited on desktop. put it back in data. restarted roma surrectum. reverted back to same attributes. weird?

(This shouldn't be an issue, but) Are you on Vista? I am, but my game location isn't in the program files.

[Leonidas42]

Running vista, and my game is stored in my documents. So we have the same problem

Hey there, i figure id make a SN and clear this up for ya. Enter in data folder, next into important stuff folder, next into single player folder, theres the export_descr_unit. And edit away...

remember to make a copy of the orginal, and remember most orginals are the most balanced.

Just to explain a few things on the why.
The launcher automaticaly copy a few files from single player or multiplayer in important stuff each time you tried to start a mp from the laucher.
