Amroth,

Hey there...I wanted to add that there is a text file compare program that I use as a coder as a profession that is very helpful. It is also free. It is called Beyond Compare. Here is the link. Please add if you think it is helpful to TWC members as I believe it is.

I need some help please. I really want to use the swordsmen milita mod but I cannot seem to get it to work partly because i cannot find my export_descr_unit file or my export_descr_buildings file.

I know where they should be there just not there.

They seemed to have vanashed right after the time I installed Third Age Total War and got sick of it.

I saw the swordsmenmilitia mod read how to upload it and put all the files into the data part but they werent there.

I have kingdoms gold.

I tried uninstalling medieval all together and reinstalling it and still the export_descr_unit and buildings were not in my data folder.

I tried just using the files from the modded folder and it still wouldnt work.

This is the weird part... I tried deleting every single export_descr_unit and export_descr_building out of all the files i had and the game still ran.

I know it has something to do with third age because now all my units have 150 or 120 units instead of the normal 75 or 60.

Someone please help I am stuck and have no idea how to fix this and i would really appreaciate any advice.
