Question about how to edit the building/technology requirement for units.

[Carmichael]

Hi, I just started to try modding Shogun 2 and I have some questions.
My purpose in modding would be to reverse the way Shogun 2 works unit-wise, with the samurai being late-game units and Ashigaru early-game, while historically it was the other way around. To me, this would go through canceling the building/technology requirement (Making them both only improving the units like Blacksmith/Bowmakers currently work).

Using the modding tools (TWeak, PFM...), is it possible to cancel or modify the technology/building requirement for units, and if so, how would it be possible?

I thank you in advance for your answers.

to modify technology requirements for units just find "unit_required_technology_junctions" table and you can just delete rows you dont like or add new technology requirements for units you want to have tech requirement.
to change building requirements for units find "units" table and scroll to right until you see column where it says "additional_building_level_requirement", if you do not want to have any additional building requirements for unit just leave it blank or you can just add requirements for units.
example if you set additional building requirement for yari ashigaru to "SHO_yari_2_naginata_dojo" it mean that you need at least naginata dojo to recruit them.
