Third Age Total War: Divide and Conquer Modding Tutorial - Add a Unit to Another Faction 

Thanks so much for doing these tutorials, you've open so many possibilities for strange campaign battles!

Thank God I found this as soon as I did. Very pleasantly surprised to see an old Arachir video (stop deleting them you bugger)

Thank god for you, Arachír. Clear, concise, and now i can try uniting all the elves under one banner (yes, i know that's probably the easiest campaign possible made even easier, i just want to overrun Mordor with the full power of the eldar)

Even though I'll never make a mod as grand or impressive as DaC I can at least enjoy being able to mess around with what's already made, thanks for that

thanks for your good work. I'm working up a mod for a defensive Moria campaign. I've added a bunch of moria specific buildings (some of which should already exist like the mines, and thus have a short construction time from what the orcs haven't completely destroyed) and I've found some ways to add entirely new units but there are some challenges in getting around them... for instance for the sake of role play... THRAIN survives the curse and imprisonment at Dol Goldur. After Sauron is driven away and Balin tries to establish a new stronghold in Moria, Thrain, still mentally unstable from years of curse and entrapment, rides in with his company of dwarves, "Thrains' Riders", to help Balin (tho he didn't know Balin was going to try to do it, he just sees him there when his spirit drove him to Moria for the same reasons). I'd like for Thrain's riders to be dwarves not orcs, but only the officers and captains are dwarves, and the dwarves are standing on the mount, but the captains behave normally... maybe you can help me figure out how to get a new unit that I'm creating using "warg riders" (Isengard) as a base, so that they are all dwarves, tho the role play of orcs works, if he is able to win over a few stragglers that were his captors as his battle prowess sharpens in the lack of the necromancer's power... if you could email me some suggestions at ctla_4_play@yahoo.com or make a video on how to add a new mounted unit for wargs I'd appreciate it. I also noticed in the code for TATW D&C there is a wild boar creature and it would be better to have them on those than the wolves.

Still using these videos to modify the game for myself, thanks Arachir!

Love the screen background. I knew I liked you Galu for a reason, beyond the awesome mod and enjoyable content. When are we gonna get more DoW DC from ya?

Spends hours trying to add orocarni then finally suceeds. A week later comes a tut. Facepalm. Haha great video!

I was curious on adding an elite warg unit for isengard using the bolg champion warg model and combining it with a armored uruk hai model instead (Very much against the lore, but I thought it'd be fun.). I have learned the basics of adding an existing unit thanks to your guidance, and this would be a real cool stepping point.

Can you change a general like putting the witch king of angmar into the angmar faction

Great video! What other steps need to be taken (aside from securing permission) to move units from one mod to another? For example Royal Kataphractoi from Broken Crescent to Stainless Steel?

huge thanks

Could u do a tutorial on how to transfer these units to third age please, for better custom scenarios

Hello everyone! Is that possible to change for example the lossarnach axeman to be available everywhere in gondor?

I made hobbits available for recruitment by the Elves and it does work.

excellent work my friend , just wow .... watched all your videos and think im winning . custom battle this has worked campaign im unsure but this hasnt worked for fellowship campaign , i add silvan heavy archers (Elf Guard) to sicily (gondor) and timurids (fellowship) and still have silver surfers .... i know im about 3 years to late the game is working fine so i believe i done the modding correctly please confirm weather these mods work in fellowship campaign please

Hey thankyou soooo much for this video i just discovered it i am a huge fan of dac over og third age because dac is so much more book based i love the mod its amazing and i always wanted to be able to recruit all men units with Northern Dunedain but i only knew how to mess with the unit script so it never worked im now in the process of completing that dream but i had a question lets say i didnt want to lose all this progress ive made in the scripts for ND when 1.0 comes out how do i maintain them being able to recruit all the units ive added to thier possible roster

Thank you so much for your tutorial! Quick question: > What does "hidden_resource ResC" stand for?

Hello how are you doing ? I would like to ask you a question, I managed to change the text file descrip_unit and the descrip_bulding but I can't find the texture of the gondo travuterke and I would like to know if you know where to locate it or what specific name it would have, it would be VERY HELPFUL since I am testing some things in the divider and concern 4.5 from now on thank you very much, greetings from Argentina Bs As

i want to add some units from MOS to dac but i don´t know how to work properly with the battle models db, can you explain me how to do it ?do i have to copy the entry from bmdb from MOS and copy to the bmdb DaC?

so any way of showing us how to copy a unit for this mod into another - or like adding reforge units to dac or hell Warhammer to some other mod just questioning if such if possible?

Can you also do a video about how to change a generals unit?

I want to add the Janissary to the Timurids, but he's making a mistake.(change 702) for vanilla

Hey Arachir! So I tried to readd the lebennin marines into my game, so I used an old version of DAC to find their stats and uis and put them into the descr_units the edu and edb and the moddb and the ui folders. I did every step in this video, are there extra steps that I need to do to make the game recognize those units, because now when I try to start up DAC it just says that M2 just encountered and errors and must now close. I am currently using version 1.2 by the way. Anyways thanks!

i did just as you did (but i added orc maulers to orcs of mm) and everything is fine no crashes but when i go to orcs of mm there are no orc maulers

I can move a unit from one mod to another and it shows up in the custom battle but when I start the battle it crashes. I know I've gotten the models file right because the game wouldn't start if i didnt. I know I'm missing something small but I dont k ow what. Also I'm not sure if not editing the ui would do that but I thought if you didnt do that it would just have the Roman peasant card place holder. I tried to find the ui for that unit I wanted to move but could not. I'm not sure if it wasn't there to begin with. The Italian Peninsula 2 game files is a little chaotic. Any help would be appreciated

How do I take a unit that I put for multiplayer only into both campaign and multiplayer?

Help please I can't rebuild the gwar i mirdain in my imladris campaign can you look into it please? I upgraded the city to large city, built every buildings already and yet I have no option to rebuild it.

What if you want to add another factions unit through the descr_strat file for the start of the game, Where would you place or save the textures?

Hi, I have a modding related question (obviously...), it'd be nice if someone could help me out here. Briefly, I wanted to add three new units to Imladris' roster but they should look like Lindon's Eldarinwe units(while keeping the golden Eldarinwe). So I just set up the recruitment slots in the Jeweller's Guild for them and created the units. I copied in the bmdb just the value for the normal Eldarinwe, renamed them in all necessary files and assigned the silver models to egypt. It works great and perfectly fine for the Swordsmen. Everything works, I can train them, they appear as they should. But when I try to also implement the Archers and Spears, my game crashes and so I was wondering if (apart from typing mistakes or this sort of thing of course) there is something to also pay attention to which might cause the crashes. Thank you in advance! To Arachîr Galudirithon: Thanks for the great videos! You have a way of explaining things so easily and simply. Also love the lore and D&C gameplay!

can you tell me how to change where factions get a garisson, or is that too advanced for beginners

how do i make princess playable juste like in vanilla m2tw ?

Yo! i finally succeeded in importing normal units from DAC to my third age! But for units such as Isengard Trolls it seems differents... Maybe it's because of custom animation? I have not idea my game crashes after i try to play with them in custom games just after the loading screen... Do you have some ideas ? Thanks for this great tutoriel! And battle_models file isn't so difficult... Just ennoying.

I hope you can amswer my question: I want to add units from Dac to my own mod and everything was ok until i added missile units. (but just those with 2H melee weapon like ND Bodyguard) If i play a custom battle they can fire but at the point they go in melee the game crashes. Maybe there is something with the animation. But i copied the animation folder from Dac. Please help me :/

I want that backround!!!!!lol

Hi Arachir and the other DaC lovers, i have a question and cant find the answer. How or where can i change the start settings, i want to put some extra units in some city's/village's from different factions but cant find the right file to do that. :) It make some factions a litte stronger in the early game wich i find more interresting, for now i do it with "cheat commands" in game but find it not very easy finding the right name's of the units.

Hey arachir if I active, got a problem with battle models i can't find nothing about few units when typing every name of a Unit i can find at their line in export descr unit halp plox

Is there any possible way to edit a unit to have only 1, if possible, how?

Will these steps also work for MOS? I'm trying to add Olog-Hai to Isengard

there is a really cool unit for the High Elves in MOS mod called Noldor Guardians, im just too lazy to add them

Is there a way to reduce the wait time for units

hey arachir , im trying to put rhe dwarven halberdmen (ironfoot version) mounted on the dale cavalry in the erebor roster , i managed to put them on rhe horse but the halberdmem are silver surfers ,any suggestions?

Does this work with merc units?

My notepad++ opening modelsdb in just one sentence, words are messed around list, can you help me.. anyone..

How does one make a whole new mod for Medeval 2 Total War?

Hey I got a question (don't know if you're still active). I tried making the Greyflood Riders of Enewaith available for Isengard when Isengard takes Enedwaith lands. Worked perfectly, the unit is available when it should, and the horse is normal but the riders are all silver surfers. The model name is apparently rohirrim_riders (which makes no sense but anyway). I tried looking for a Greyflood Riders model, but nothing existed, the units are the same as the Greyflood Raiders (the infantry skirmishers), tried copying those into Isengard too, still not working. I tried copying every single Enedwaith model to make them all available for Isengard (France), plus the rohirrim_riders one, but the riders are always silver surfers The officer and horses are all normal, except for the riders. What could have gone wrong? P.S.: I have already made Snaga archers, Stalkers and Skirmishers all available to Isengard and fixed their silver surfer issue but the Greyflood riders just persist

I did that and it said unit type error or something I did the top unit

Can i add the Pelargir Marines back to Gondor?

How can i change the units stats?

I came across something interesting. I'm making it so that Lindon can train the three elite Imladris units - Guards, Riders, and Rangers - if they take Imladris the same way they can train the Smiths of Eregion by taking Ost-in-Edhil. I've done the Riders and Rangers now - though I didn't have to transfer the models for the horses as all the elves seem to use the same model - but when I went to do the Guards, the saxons(Lindon) were already listed in the battle_models.modeldb file under the imladris guards entry. Along with the turks(Northern Dunedain)! But neither one was listed under the Imladris Guards entry in the export_descr_unit file as being able to train them. Were those two factions originally meant to train these units but decided against, or were they meant to and forgotten about? Or is it an oversight all together? Not really a big thing, just something I'm curious about. For the record, this is in the 1.1 version. Also, according to the export_descr_buildings file, the three Imladris units only train from something called "elrond_house" listed under the Landmarks section near the bottom. I'm assuming that that's the Last Homely House structure in Imladris itself, so my question is, do I only have to add 'saxons' in alongside 'egypt' to make them trainable for Lindon? Or do I have to go through that whole spiel you explained at that stage. And what about Tulkas' Faithful? Do I have to do that as well? Or just toss in a 'saxons' at the "requires factions" part?

What differences would there be while editing the edb after you've created a new unit?

like the cheat create unit

how to make mercenaries recruitable?

How do i make a unit AOR restricted, I want to add a style like the ND but for the dwarves of Erebor, (I think it would be a nice touch). I was just going to restrict the units to one city, for example Thranduils halls. Just curious :)

Hi how do you spawn the units in by cheats

does this work with ships ?

I want Gondor Restored Mod for DaC 4.6! Please!

Quick question. How do you add more missiles to a ranged unit?

Is this still possible under V4.5? I’ve tried multiple factions and units, as well of covering the video entirely.

When I enter the modeldb file it is a complete mess and I can't find anything.

Hey bro! Can you do how to import units in mod from another mod?

is it possible to modify the amount turns it takes before a unit is available to recruit?

Some more Byzantine!

nvm i fixed it

nm I figured it out, now to make them a missile unit... :p

Can i train Ents?

How do I add a Unit from another Mod into a different mod (like the Silvan Archers from Third Age to Westeros Mod)?
