Thankyou! And I've already modded the skirmishers, so now they have less ammo (most of them, I left chariots and Horse Archers alone because I have yet to see their impact with 40 shots per chariot and 30 shots per horse archer).

EDIT: Here's a question, didn't feel like starting a new thread, so I just added it here:

Where do I change the names of the civilizations. I mean, where can I change "Judaeans" to "Judeans" and "Israelis" to "Israelites"?

All changes must be made in the localisation file & then processed with the converter exe. You'll need to dwnload the tools to do this. Souns like a lot of work for these changes :)

Okay, thanks. Two questions:

1:Where can I download the tools?
2:Will the download be able to fit on a floppy disk? My PC games are on my non-internet PC, so any downloads must be transfered.

Yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way in both Spartan and Legion. I won't make the same mistake a third time! (Its actually a shame that I had to make the same mistake twice already before I learned my lesson :oops: )

One question, though: How do I tone down the AI's aggression? Everybody is swarming me from the start. Even the people I have diplomats with.

EDIT: Solved that last problem. The game is much more enjoyable now. :D

I'm out of the office until the 21st, but will try and find the files when I get back, unless a player can supply you withthe files in the mean time.

Thankyou in advance, Iain.

I have one more question: is it possible to create my own scenarios? Like, could I make a copy of the Grand Campaign and then mod the copy by changing which countries own which cities, and then play it as a seperate scenario? Or would I have to make the changes to the GC directly?

Okay, thanks Iain! :)

EDIT: Will they fit on a floppy, or do I need to burn them onto a CD. I have CoW on my non-internet PC, as this one is too slow for PC games.

Probably will fit on a floppy or a number of floppies though I don't remember for sure.
