How do I edit Crusaders for nations? in 1.5 Mod

[lt1956]

Hello,

I use the Glory mod 1.5 from Angry.

But I want to give the Europeans Crusaders so when I am in the holy land I can make crusaders insead of regular infantry. Is there anyway I can mod this so while in the middle east I get only Crusaders?

Thanks for any help, love the mod BTW.

You must change the TrainUnits.XLS and .TXT in order to do such a thing.

I found those, It was in a map section.

Basically what I wanted to do and I am not sure if its possible? I wanted to Make the Eastern Nations when controled By England or France etc and when they Build a Church or something they build crusaders.

OR even better is When those factions own a Eastern province they can only produce crusader units.

Are either of these possible?

Thanks!

You can make the recruitment of crusader units require churches, and restrict the availability of these units to the eastern provinces. Then only catholic nations will be able to recruit crusader units there.

Ok so the unit recruitment file is all I need to edit for the churches to make crusaders and eastern provinces? Because I cannot find any mention of building files to specify recruitment also I didnt notice provinces in the unit file, but could you give me an example so I can get the hang of how this setup is done?

This setup of theirs is poorly done IMO compared to RTW and some other games. But I do love their gameplay with your mod. There are no turtorials to learn this game and its mechanics like for RTW.

Thanks for the help.

The building requirements of the units are set in Units.txt if I remember correctly.
That means for your case:
- Make Crusader Units recruitable in eastern province. Do this in TrainUnits.txt (/.xls)
- Make Crusader Units depend on the church to be build. Do this in Units.txt

Ok I see the areas on the church etc, but the problem I see is how do I know WHICH faction it is recruitable by? I mean lets say I give Syria crusaders, what will make it only France and england and not Muslim factions from recruiting them? The files are quite interesting to say the least. lol
And what is the K800 K1000 K1200 Sections?

a) Churches can only be built by christian kingdoms. So the Muslims get a no-no on the crusaders, because they can't build churches.
b) K800 etc. are the eras. 800 for early era, 1000 for high and 1200 for late.
c) Again, be sure to make backups, you're gonna mess something up, I bet you. I did it about 10 times. :smile:

Thanks I figured the K800 was periods but I wanted to be sure. Havent had any mistakes yet, but then again I am not new to modding. Thanks for the Tips. I noticed Jerusalem having Crusaders as special units. Seems to be impossible to have eastern regions have crusaders as they already have slots filled with muslim units. :-( The only whay I see is special units for england but then again it may be best just to have your cleric made pope so you can set crusades. lol

Did you ever figure out if you can get new crusades that when you let the marshal own the province he stay christian? Nothing worse then him becoming muslim. lol Stupid mistake on their part really. This game is alot like Lords2 in feel.
