Spearmen(phalanx spearmen) to Swordsman only...

[King Leonidas I]

Im sure this has surfaced before, but Ive edited the desc_model_battle and the export_unit_desc and changed everything to swordsman but in game they still have spears or in the phanlanx case their spears are shorter like normal spearmen. So does anyone know if it is possible to, and how. Does it have to do with textures, or the cas? I dont see how it does but i wouldnt know, Ive edited those two files like i said but there still spearmen...Any help would be appreciated thanks.

It has to do with the model (cas). If the model does not have a sword present with it, then it will still use the spear as the default. Aside from modelling it yourself or using a different model and texture (in essence finding a unit to replace it) theres nothing you can do.

This is a great idea. I would love to have swordsman versions of the Greek hoplites as well (who use only swords.) I'm going to try to figure it out because I think I know how to do it!

Well I managed to make them but I've got the same problem. I don't have unit cards for them unfortunately. They fight like triarii though. Long spears, no swords - no phalanx, but still spears. They are basically triarii with hoplite skins.

If you ever figure it out (or anyone else does) PM me with the answer or something ok? Thanks!

Like publius said it is in the cas file. You have to use 3ds max to modify it.

Or you could give the hoplite a javelin as his primary (make the spear a javelin) with 0 ammo? Possible?
