Recruit generals

[bauhaus]

I wonder why this isn't in the mod.
The option of having getting more generals/noblemen that are not part of the family tree, without the Man-of-the-hour event.
So, for example you play as Gondor, you could have the option of recruiting normal Citadel Guards, but also generals with Citadel Guard bodyguards.
I did find something, [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...f-mercenaries], but the way the game handles it is that it makes the general cavalry unit available for recruit, while adopted generals get the Citadel Guard unit, but without and icon.

Is there a way to actually make this work?

My mistake, this is the link i meant to post;

Then there is also this, but the result is still the same. No unit card icon/description icon, dtill can't recruit citadel guard generals.

Anyone?

You can edit Third_Age_3\data\export_descr_buildings.txt:

Put these in the barracks buildings, under other "recruit_pool" lines. The following lines are for DaC submod which have more factions, so you need to remove/rename some of them. If it contains any unit which doesn't exist, M2TW would fail to run and you can check the error from logs.

The list of general bodyguard units can be found in Third_Age_3\data\export_descr_units.txt. General units are those with "general_unit" in unit attributes.

If you play VH/VH as intended, the generals are money soaking bastards. I dont see any reason to have more of them.
