Modifying Starting faction general

**Favre** · April 29, 2006, 04:46 PM

Hello, I just watched the Alexander movie 2 times in a row and I really want to re-create his campaigns.

Is there a way to modify my Starting Faction leader to be Alexander, Change his profile picture, and His age?

If so, How?

Also - Does the year displayed effect triggered event or do those trigger reguardless of the displayed year?

I'd like to set the year to 363 BC

Most of the things you want to do are done in the descr_strat file. The picture would be in the UI file (must be extracted) and you will have to change one or two other files (which I now forget) in order to change the name

Alright, Im going to make the unit profile picture right now, think you can tell me at least somewhat of what to do?

EDIT: Also, How do i edit his Trait and Ancillaries?

I'd like to give him lots of Command and a few +hitpoints traits

My photoshop wont open any files, anyone know whats wrong?

Well, for the pic you need to unpack the files (ui_0.pak I think) and then find the file in here. As far as the other things, I dont really remember how. Sorry
