{Question} Is it possable to make a hero unit like Scipio Aemilianus?

[Man of West Gondor]

Hello I was wondering Is it possible to make a hero unit like Scipio Aemilianus for custom battles? Because I see the models assets are in the game, so is it possible to make new hero general units, like in Shogun 2, how they made units of the Faction Leaders?

hmm, forgive me but i dont really know what you mean, like have a one man unit this is super strong, or a unit with a specific officer that is strong.

Just a unit with a Hero from history like Hannibal with a bodyguard of War Elephants or Julius Ceaser with a group of Legionnaires , not overpower unit, like Rome 1's Urban Cohort . That is what I mean.

Hi i have not looked through the db tables of RTW2 or even STW2 but i know how todo it in ETW and NTW so i imagine the same process is needed or very simular. So my answer might help or give you an idea which tables need tobe modded or be a total waste of time

If you want to add a new model one you have made converted yourself as the officer ie not use existing general model you would go to battle personalities tables , clone or copy one of the generals entries rename it to what ever you want like Scipio_Aemilianus and where it says model id change to the name of what you have called your new model which i guess would also be Scipio_Aemilianus.

You would then need to set a texure path for your new model in warscape animation tables and entries needed in warscape animation lods also for it .

you would then goto unit tables clone/ copy again a general entry and give it unique name again use Scipio_Aemilianus .

then goto unit sats land table again clone/copy one the generals entries rename it to Scipio_Aemilianus and also where it says officer used change it to Scipio_Aemilianus this will mean the new offier personality model is loaded and if you want to give a different cavalry escort model you can then also change too under soldier model to another one or keep existing one . Leave behaviour as it was in that entry general means if he gets attaked killed you will get notice in battle like with geeral under attack.

then go to unts exclsive to factions table clone or copy one of the existing ones call it Scipio_Aemilianus and set which faction you want him available too .
you might want to change his stats etc that be done in unit stats land tables and you might want to lmit hi tobe only recuitable once that be done in the unit tables .



If you dont want to add a new personality model and use and existing gerneral then you just need to miss out the battle personality table the warscap animatin tables and warscape animated lods table

As i said thats how you would do in ETW and NTW the db entries might have altered . I will look through the DB entries this weekend though so the above might help you or at least give you an idea which tables entries need to be used hope the above makes sense too as i just done night shift and need my bed

@adrian74 : I will give it a whirl. And let you know, Thank you!

SO far no luck anyone know what file in RII are the officers and their variants held?

[DramaBelli]

hello sir, more that a "hero unit" would be good, add some particular units to general rosters, featuring the historical important figures of people like Hannibal or the Scipiones. Would se also Camillo and Brenno entering Rome. Every general unit with some ability studied around the historical figure included.

[adrian74]

the officers i think are there in

battle_personalities_tables

which can be found in data2romepack i can not look at them however might be because my pfm is older version as the tables are in red writing or at the moment they not accessible
