Help a loyal fan of the empire

[Mr.Jester]

I've done a fair bit of thread digging, but none of which provide the answer I'm specifically looking for. To what is the question in which is the answer I seek to you may ask?

Enough screwing around.
I need a mod, or tutorial that enables the free recruitment of mercenary's such as wizards as company's, WITHOUT the complete purge of scripts.

I've fiddled with the files before, and i'll do it again. My goal is just this one particular task.

I want to recruit wizards, tanks, and other famous units and still have the struggles of beastmen coming from the bushes, orcs having a 'waaagh' and Chaos trying to ruin our day with all their shirtless men with nothing but loin clothes and leather. Please help me with links or references, thanks!

Damn savages, meanwhile us gentlemen march proudly in formation, fire in volleys with supreme technology, but they just keep coming don't they?

For the empire!

What you'll need to do is quiet simple actually. You'll need to open and edit a file called "export_descr_buildings" which is located in your ...\Medieval II Total War\mods\Rage_of_dark_Gods\data folder.

Open it with Notepad and search for the units you want and remove the part shown in the example.

Default:

recruit_pool "Bright Wizard" 0 0.05 0.99 1 requires factions { portugal, venice, spain, scotland, sicily, milan, saxons, byzantium, france, hre, } and event_counter Bright_Wizard 1

New:

recruit_pool "Bright Wizard" 0 0.05 1 1 requires factions { portugal, venice, spain, scotland, sicily, milan, saxons, byzantium, france, hre, }

So make sure you remove the event part for all units and some will also require you to edit the value 0.99 to 1 or higher.

[k/t]

That will make all those factions able to recruit the unit.

If you want it just for yourself, you'll have to make two lines.

There already is a separate one for the AI.

recruit_pool "Bright Wizard" 1 0.05 1 1 requires factions { portugal, venice, spain, scotland, sicily, milan, saxons, byzantium, france, hre, } and event_counter empire_ai 1 and event_counter Bright_Wizard 1

However if you want it just for you, you can just remove the faction name of the factions you don't play.

[Lord Golog]

If you play the Empire and make it just for you, then your allies will not be able to recruit such units.

[Mr.Jester]

Thank's guys!

[Mr.Jester]

I got it, I just bit off more then I can chew by changing multiple units. I'll keep it slow and steady.

Thank's 'dudes' !

If you have any problems with the recruitment of some of the units, I'd be happy to post the correct lines for you.

[Mr.Jester]

No, Now it doesn't launch :C il try backing up the file and trying again

[Javesh]

So in effect you can do this to Engineers, witchhunters etc?. Would be one epic army :o

Yeah, but you get most of those units by events already tho. But if you don't feel like waiting on them you could have them from the start.

So you still get only 1? Or will they be recruiteble?

[Vossie]

Differs per unit. Units like the Bright Wizards only come per 1 and are not recruitable. ( They are retrainable tho. )

Units like the Warrior Priests, Witch Hunters, etc do become recruitable after the events.

[assurbanippal]

Warrior priest and witch hunters are recruitable if you build the huge cathedral at least in gigantus version

Yup, however they do require a event before they become so.

If you edit the file yea?

Btw any1 know which building lets you recruit the engineers? It's my favorite unit hehe

If you edit the file you won't have to wait for the events before you can recruit them.

I believe a University is required for the Engineers to be recruited. However you'll need to edit the file and change their recruitment value otherwise you'll only be able to retrain them.

[Javesh]

Hmm. Cant find the Engineers under the "export_descr_buildings" file :|

[Vossie]

recruit_pool "Nuln enge" 0 0.05 0.99 1 requires factions { portugal, hre, spain, scotland, sicily, milan, venice, saxons, byzantium, france, } and event_counter Nuln_engeners 1

Is the one you're looking for.

They require a University to be trained.

[Javesh]

Epic! Again thanks a million m8y
