legendary units

Post by augustus »

is there a way to take legendary units out of the game, or put more in? What file what I mod, and how would I do that?

The file is ACWSpecUnits.txt, in the "Data" sub-folder. It's easy to add new ones, if you know how FOF's data files work. As for removing them from the game, I don't know what would happen if you removed the file. I'll ask Eric (= programmer) to chime in.

Very nice. But don't forget that shortly before he died Bill Hawthorne made two new LU's, which can be found in the file that I "modded" and posted at this thread: tm.asp?m=1647086&mpage=1&key=legendary%2Cunit&#1647086

You should probably add those to your file, since they're both good ones to have.

Gil R., Thanks for pointing me at this thread, was unknown to me. Great legendary units I'll put them into my file at once the Federals need every outstanding unit they can get...

Legendary units are the armies' backbones in FoF, think i'll have to add a new cavalry unit as well. The first North Carolina Cavalry for the southerners, the first full regiment of Cavalry organized in defense of the confederate States. They were known as 'Stuart's Tarheels' and i think they should really be in
