Squads type and dates in skirmish mode

Post by Petcat »

Hi

I've added a new type to my squads file "Cavalry" and an error comes up saying "Could not find type CAVALRY in proxytypes.txt". What do I need to do to sort this out, is it in a text file?

Is there a text file that changes the dates so that in skirmish mode I can change the beginning year from 41 to 39?

If you add a new type you need to also add it in a custom TERRAIN.TXT file for your campaign, including all the movement information. See DATA/TERRAIN.TXT for an example. Note that your terrain file needs to completely replace the default one, so copying the DATA/TERRAIN.TXT file is a good starting point.

You can put your own ARMYLIST.TXT file in your campaign folder and it will be appended to the main game (CORE/ARMYLIST.TXT) so you could set up a new period in that way.

Cheers
