Half Plate Armor, New Era begins, etc.

Hi all

I have been having trouble with getting elite units...

If someone could tell me about what turn more units come available that would help, I have tried modifying the 'descr_events' and changing some dates and that did nothing. I have had problems with vanilla and the MCompilation.


The 'descr_events' file says the new era begins at date 80. So I believe that is turn 80, for the sake of my testing I found that the Scottish 'Highland Pikemen' comes available with the new_era counter. So I changed the new era begins from turn 80 to turn 2 and nothing happened. None of the other events ever seem to take place either except the Mongols at turn 3. This is on the late campaign. I have tried re-installing and it did not help. Am I simply a impatient person or is something wrong Not using any BYGR mods either.

Go in export_descr_buildings.txt, search for the units you want to have before the event needed, and delete the "event_counter" wich blocks the availability to after that event.

ex : recruit_pool "Heavy Pike Militia" 1 0.34 3 0 requires factions { scotland, } and event_counter FULL_PLATE_ARMOR 1

make it recruit_pool "Heavy Pike Militia" 1 0.34 3 0 requires factions { scotland, }

And there you have it. And it's savegame compatible.

If you want to have a "multi-faction" unit before the other factions, delete your faction's name from the unit line and make another line for this unit with ONLY your faction's name and no event.

Thanks, but is this mandatory? Do the units not ever come available? I was actually wanting to know if my version was broken and at approximately what turns units come available?

Also, take note that "date" that is mentioned in descr_events.txt is means years since the begining of your campaign.
Not turns.

Thanks that's a huge help

And btw I already have the Excel document of that page for the MOS mod that I have used But thanks again, didn't know that bit about the 'descr_events', that helped a lot

[Trailhog250]

While these answers helped my question is still not answered there must be a turn in which the next set of units becomes available? Can anyone give a loos estimate? I want to know if I just need to wait longer or if it's not being unlocked for some reason
I've checked the 'descr_events' file and there are lots of events. Am I supposed to receive a notification of these? I never get any...

Yes you are supposed to see notifications of the events. Open the config file and see if disable_events is set to 0 or 1.

[Trailhog250]

It wasn't there, so I added it under [game] and set it to 0 and that fixed it, thanks +rep

Glad its working. Did you check both config files though? There's the m2tw config in the M2TW folder and the SS one under M2TW\mods\SS6.3
