[HELP] Changing a unit's armor

[MrSmith]

I have been trying to get standard melee Empire infantry to be better armored, so I changed their armor from "emp_light" to"emp_full_plate" like the great swords, but in game there is no stat change at all. Am I modding the wrong values?

[MrSmith]

I forgot to mention that I'm using PFM, if that makes a difference.

You modified the entry in the land_unit table? That's supposed to be all you need to do. Are you sure your mod is activated?

[MrSmith]

Actually, I modified the tables in the Proper Combat mod, wouldn't that mean that the armor values would load with the mod? Do I have to make a separate mod?

[Iktah]

To clarify, the type of armour the unit has is in land_Units_tables
The actual armour value is in another location called unit_armour_type_tables

Hey there!

You don't need a separate mod for that to just edit the AV of a unit

The first step is to know what type of armour your unit has that you wish to modify:

What you need is to look for Land unit tables in the DB tree, in the land_Units_tables there is a column with armour named stuff like "..wh_main_chs_chaos_armour.."

The second thing you want to do now is go into unit_armour_type_tables and edit the Armour_valuer column to what amount you want to change it to

If you get into any snaffous just post and I can try to help further

Cheers
