trying to create units in Rome Total War. Help!

[Cpt. Uriel]

I have followed this to create a unit: create_unit "Tylis" "silver shield pikemen" 5/99/Heavy

Is the above right? I keep getting a do not recognize unti message

I think that most of the units doesn't work but there are some specific units that work for sure. Check this out and try to find which units work. http://neonstik.blogspot.com/2011/05/all-roman-greek-and-carthaginian-unit.html

create_unit "settlement here" "unit here" X Y Z A


create_unit is the starting piece

"settlement here" is self-explantory, if it's a single name like Rome or Tylis, no need to add the " marks.

"unit here" is self-explantory, all units require the " mark because they have several parts to their name. You can find the full list of units in your RTW data folder, in the export_descr_unit.txt file. You'll want to type the name that appears as their type-name, or as I like to call it, their coded name.

X is the amount of units you want created, up to a max of 5 per create_unit command.

Y is the experience amount you want for it, up to a max of 9

Z is either the attack or defense amount (I forgot which), up to a max of 3.

A is either the attack or defense amount (I forgot which), up to a max of 3


The correct way to write this code is

create_unit Tylis "greek silver shield pikemen" 5 9 3 3

If you want Silver Shield Legionaries, the coded name is

"greek argyraspid"
