Byzantine Questions

Why can't I build certain units? Namely, the pikemen, the Exubitores, and other various units? Is there a way to edit this in the txt files? It's getting really hard to run a campaign with Skutatoi only from constantinople and Thema Taxeis from random provinces...I could really use the heavy infantry and cavalry. :hmmm:

You are welcome. Did you actually install the Hotfix 0.44a over 0.44 patch? This will enable the more heavier and special units in different buildings (look through the building browser then).

THat's actually a good question. I can't remember if i did or not....I shall install it forthwith

The hotfix doesn't seem to be working. I'll just wait for the next version...

Hey
it does for me, I just installed all of the aviable hotfixes and everything works fine. Nice mod just two questions though a bit off topic.

1. Are you going to release the High era part any time soon with MTW2 on the doorstep? ( I know you've heard this a thousand times already)
2. How can I turn on the flamming arrows option for the archers again? I'm modding the game a little, making archers stronger, adding population and such, but I still can't find out how to turn on the flamming ammo. I know it's not historical and all but it's fun to watch.

cheers

1. the High and Late era units (many of which are allready done as you can see in DP's screens) we plan to release before MTW2 at least palyable in custom battles, but nothing is certain beyond that. Though I think its a shame not to let all that shiny armor show its full potential....

Yeah I know, will be a shame cause you guys did hell of a job and now ppl will jump to MTW2. Well hope you do something like this for the new game.

Oh yeah, where can i train trebizond archers? Got all of the Imperial Barracks and the armoury but still am unable to train them. Bug or are they trainable in some province only?

cheers
