Editor for Units

**Fridericus Rex** · April 18, 2006, 12:06 PM

I would like to change Units in RTW (no skins, just costs and other characteristics) - is there an Editor around that lets change several Units at one time or do I have to change each Unit, one at a time?

If yes, please provide a link to the latest version.

Thank you for any help.

It's very easy if you do it manually by opening the "descr_units" file.

I know! But very time consuming and there is a lack of oversight when doing it unit by unit. A table form would be a great help.
If I only knew how to make a table out of these listings.

Any idea?

Hmm... It would be great if some one could make a way to edit the export_descr_unit file via windows excel. Would make comparisons vastly easier. Does anyone have any idea how to go about doing something like that?

Well i personally just edit export_descr_unit.txt in notepad, yes it can be time consuming, but hey think about those of us who are doing mods where each units stats change.

I know if they can put up with it surely you can.

Plus when editing the "derscr_units" file you can set the recruitment time to zero. If you want, edit the recruitment cost to zero. Imagine the results. Large armies, no cost, instantly.

i do that including cost and no upkeep

Its not for speed that we should put it on excel but for the ability to compare stats of units easier. I change unit stats all the time and don't mind using notepad but it does get agrivating haveing to scroll up and down eight million times to check and reacheck unit abities and compare them with equivilent counterparts.
