Little help with generals

[Mc Bane]

Hi, relatively new to this modding thing and I'm playing Third Age and hit a little snag.

I'm trying to mod my game such that the forces of evilness start out with a few goblins but expand into the full range of badness as they take the relevant regions (Not too hard).

But, I'm stuck with generals. What I would like is that once mordor take some desert regions they would be able to begin to adopt (Or maybe recruit a limited amount of?) harad generals w/ serpent bodyguard (preferably with appropriate portraits, names and strat models) but I have no clue on how to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Do you want them to be able to recruit those bodyguards only from those regions? Or do you want them to be able to recruit those bodyguards from anywhere once they capture those regions? If your question is the latter, then I have no idea. If it's the former, then it should be pretty simple I think. Set whatever desert regions you want as hidden resources and allow Mordor to recruit "Serpent Bodyguard" from a certain building in EDB, but make it require those hidden resources.

Edit: Also, I don't know how to limit it to an exact amount. However, you could tweak the replenishment rate to do that. Maybe you could set it to .05 or something like that so they can only recruit one every 20 turns.

Hmm, sounds good, think I can do that. Is there any way to get/acquire/recruit family members in a similar way, using hidden resources etc?

Thanks.

You can follow up on kevin's idea with a script which triggers an event that limits the total number of that unit. There was a tut around where you could only recruit some units when your king\leader was in the home provinces. Principle is the same.
