Can anyone tell me how to disable the horde ability for some of the barbarian factions? I looked around afew of the files and am not sure what to change and was hoping someone here could help.

You need to post in the Rome Workshop in the Eras forum - where the forum says "This is where you can find help in modding Rome: Total War."

But do a search here and at the Org first as information on this subject does exist if you look.

And on the Wiki : http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/Hording...tions_-_RTW/BI

I believe that you can change the horde formation in export_descr_units.

There are two separate things referred to as horde. The 'horde' entry in the formations line in the export_descr_units.txt file is just an alternative to the square formation where they deploy in a rough circle instead. That can just be changed to 'square' if you want to change deployment shape of unit.

The can_horde ability in the attributes line means the unit can be specified as part of a horde army in descr_sm_factions.txt - armies composed of those units are generated if a hording factions last city is taken or if a horde faction emerges like the slavs.

Ah, I meant to post there but I guess I got lost when I was seraching for it. When I did do the search though I couldnt really find anything concrete, just mostly poeple talking about the different factions that can horde or what not and not how to disable it.
Thanks for the help!
