There will be 3 new awesome custom textures included in AUM-ROM 2.0 by DramaBelli soon. I will update the older AUM and UPC mods too.

TW:Attila is coming with his hordes. I will create the AUM-ATT and UPC-ATT as soon as we are capable to mod Attila.

more rep ( which you don't need ) and a bump for the thread , because ---

--- I'm not actually using your mod ---

but because of , " How to customize Unit Pack Mods ".

http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/How_to_...Unit_Pack_Mods

Too many of the modders around here are only interested in pushing their own ego, not furthering the hobby in any way.
There ARE modders who want to further the hobby, but sadly too many of them have very poor English , or they are simply not good how-to writers.

The thread is due bumping for, " How to customize Unit Pack Mods " alone. It might get seen then, and save someone driving themselves blind , and driving themselves into despair with frustration , reading through mod threads that teach nothing.

This tutorial only applies to units, and doesn't teach how to create your own mod, but DOES tell you how to mod a mod, which is SOMETHING.

Thanks a lot for your nice words kesa82! It's nice to read that my tutorial is helpful. It can be used for quite all Unit Pack mods from all TW games since Empire. I just used my AUM mods as templates and other mods use of course other Database-Table names. Good that it was understandable as English isn't my native language.

The link to my tutorial can be found in the signature of my posts.

Thanks for your update. But I have a question.... Is it intentional that Antesignanii get 160 men?
Their stats are quite good. And other uniits this style have 120 men I think. To me thy seem a bit strong. If you want them to be light infantry OK...but then their class is wrong...if you want them to be skirmishers OK but then please bring them to 120 men like other skirmishers....

Yes the 160 men are intentional as DramaBelli suggested them to be a mixed unit. They were used historically as a mixed infantry/skirmisher unit and therefore they are a special sized unit in this class.

That makes sense of course. Would you then consider a unit limit? I find it hard not to recruit only them as skirmishers. But that`s of course a bit like recruiting only praetorians as heavy infantry.

I could consider some unit limits in the vanilla version. But the Radious version can't have unit limits due to Radious' rules. The problem with "unit limits" in all TW games since Empire is that the AI can't handle it very good.

Here is my tutorial how all players can add/change the unit limits besides some other customizations.

I`m talking about the vanilla version of AUM. But maybe I just do it myself. Thanks for your tutorial.
What could happen to the AI if one would give unit limits? Besides I would only limit this one unit and play as Rome myself. So there shouldn`t be any AI problem, or?

Yes sure if the player plays Rome itself, then the player can handle the unit limit without a problem. So yes if you play Rome and add an unit limit to the Roman units, then all works good.

But if the player plays another faction than Rome, then the AI as Rome can't handle the unit limit very good. I experienced this since Empire. So you should remove the unit limit again if you play another faction than Rome.

Hey, how to do I edit the damage of the roman archers? I'm making my own personal mod. I don't have any knowledge in making/editing settings or mods.
