    Good day everyone, I'm asking someone who could do merging/delete units (and maybe some other stuff). It will saves me precious time for continuing modding for both my submod and the CHIP mod. If there's volunteers, I'll send you what I want you to do and Rep and credit as rewards Thank you.

    Okay only one question: Do I need vast knowledge for this or is this concentrated around the EDU area or some other part? It's not that am dumb lol I just don't have much experience modding but seemingly if you tell me I can learn quickly and help

    You need to play with the EDU, EDB, descr_strat, campaign_script, descr_mercenaries, descr_rebel_faction.

    It's easy to remove units, to merge them on the other hand it's more complicated

    I think I get everything. The only thing that I find rather "complex" is the campaign_script. By merging units you mean incorporating them into one such as sergeant spearmen and armoured sergeants?

    Ok just one more thing: By merging units you mean: A) Only one unit stays B) You combine or balance their stats into a single new unit C) Another explanation done by you

    So basically if you're removing a unit, you just delete the entry from EDU and then go to all those other files you listed, find all instances of that unit, and delete the line.

    If you're merging two units (like Levy Archer and Archer Militia), you delete one of them from EDU (let's say Levy Archer), and then replace all instances of Levy Archer with Archer Militia in the rest of the files?

    If that is correct, then I'll help. If that's not correct, then I guess I can't help

    Hey I don't see Levy Archers anywhere in any of the files. I'll skip over that merge for now. Let me know if you want to merge a different unit with archer militia.

    Edit: I also can't find viking drengjar

    Hmm.. merging all versions of the archer militia into one (Me archer militia, archer militia (from England) and EE archer militia (from the Rus). Need to say this also, when I say "merging" them, its to make one entry that regroup all the entries in the Battlemodel into one entry for a EDU entry. For example, let say you keep the Archer militia entry in the EDU. You'll change the ownership of that entry by adding all the owners of the other archer militia entries to this one. After that, in the EDB, you have to add in the bracket the owners of the Archer militia entry as well. In the other files, replace for example ME archer militia by archer militia since you regroup the owners in that entry.

    For the Battlemodel, I'll take care of it (or DioD2 ).

    Hope you understand what I meant

    TIP: To find the entry, open the export_units file in text folder, write for example drengjar in the search (ctrl+F) and take the name in the bracket. Copy and paste in the search in the EDU and you'll find it. Do the same for the other units.

    Ohhh I was doing a Ctrl + F for "Viking drengjar". That's why I couldn't find it. Now I can find it though!
