Change the Units for the Warlord trait?

from Elemental Forums

Hi

 

Is it possible  to change the Sentinel units you get when selecting the Warlord history to something else?

I can't seem to find any xml that has the History abilities?

There is a mod somewhere around the forum that converts those 2 units into spiders instead of sentinels. Do a search for Spiderworshipper and you could follow that example, this was a topic quite a while back but I tried it and it worked.

Then find this:

Code: html
  1.             <GameModifier InternalName="SummonUnit">
  2.                 <ModType>Map</ModType>
  3.                 <Attribute>SummonUnit</Attribute>
  4.                 <UnitClass>Sentinel</UnitClass>
  5.                 <StrVal>Sentinel</StrVal>
  6.             </GameModifier>

And change Sentinel to something else. If you want to define a custom unit you'll need to declare it. Lastly, if you figure out how to spawn functional heroes, PLEASE, let me know.

Hey

 

Thanks for the info.

Elemental is the first game I'm trying to make mods for, and one thing I learned is to close the XML editor when tired, there's just to many lines of info. That SovereignHistories.xml file was staring me right in the face.

I have not been able to replace the Sentinels, but I did give them each a tweaked Longbow and some Boots for increased movement.

Now I just have to figure how to make my custom buildings available to my custom faction only and not to all the other men races on the Map.
