Default OT:Medieval Total War

For those that might be interested, I've been able to Mod "Medieval Total War"

I've even created a few new units.

As always, backup any files you are going to be messing with.

The unit information you need is in the "crusaders_unit_prod11.txt" file. It looks like buildings too should be doable, albeit, I haven't turned my hand to them yet.

If you make new units with new names you will also need to go to LOC/ENG/Names.txt and near the bottom of the file, specify the singular and plural forms of the name. Also in the Loc/ENG/description.txt file you'll need to create a text blab on your unit.

In CAMPMAP/INFO-PICS/ships or units, and CAMPMAP/REVIEW_PANEL/"ditto", you need to copy a Bif file that is close to what you want the unit to look like and change its name to whatever you named the unit.

I was able to open the files with Wordpad to edit these. You want word warp OFF.

Tonight I'm going to see if I can find some bif file freeware that I can use to muck with the images.

I posted this junk here because I figure some of you have the game and are already wondering how you can "fix" it. LOL, that's always my problem.

Happy modding.

Oh, yeah, I expect the above only applies to the US English Version. I'm not sure if it's published in other Languages yet, and if so, how those Versions might be different.
