Quick mod Q

[zwieniecki]

I recentlly re-installed vanilla RTW, after having a blast with RTR. I wanna play as the greeks but I want to have the creatan archer available as an archer unit for 4th tier.

Here is what I tried to do, in the export_descr_building file:

Under the "siege_engineer" building I added:
" recruit "merc cretan archers" 0 requires factions { greek_cities, }"

(I basically copied the other units then replaced the name with the cretan archer unit given in the "export_descr_unit" file)

When I play the game I can go to imperial campaign, I select greeks, it play the intro movie, then it crashes to the desktop without a message, it also happens to the other factions.

Am I doing something wrong, should I tweak the cretan archer in the "export_descr_unit" file, do I have to change something else, will it take a long time?

Ps. If someone already asked a similar Q Im sorry, didnt remember to check the forum until after I wrote all this down

I think this is because the unit has the mercenary attribute in exprt_descr_unit so it does not work.

Wow, that was a quick repl. Thanks, It doesnt crash, I can play the campaign.

The one problem is that the unit card of the cretan archers is that of macedonian peasants. All its stats are correct.

On the battle field it looks correct, but it has macedonian color (black+orange).
Is there any quick fix to this?

Honseltlly I coud care lesss so if there is more than a few lines of code to change then dont waste your time with me.

Anyway thanks for the quick reply, you guys are great
