W00f, you guys got too much stuff going too many different directions for my tiny brain to keep track of.

How did you use Celtic units in the Roman campaign?

Ok, half of what the Legion Arena modding community knows is down to the explorative antics of Miki and Spedius01.
To add Celtic units to a Roman army (or vice versa) all you need to do is this:

Thank you for your message.

First, create a back-up of the file Squads.txt, away from the Legion Arena directory.

Second, open Squads.txt using Notepad, if you look at the first squad (White Peasant) you will see the following five items:

Maintenance
MadeBy Republican
MadeBy Tutorial
MadeBy Gauls
MadeBy Cheat

Third, if you now scroll down to the next squad (Tunic Militia) you will see the following five items:

Maintenance
// No
MadeBy Tutorial
MadeBy Gauls
MadeBy Cheat

Fourth, you can see the difference between the first and second squad, all you need to do is ensure that both MadeBy Republican and MadeBy Gauls are included in each squad to bring them together in the same army. So you alter // No to MadeBy Republican and Tunic Militia can now be included in both armies.

You continue down the list repeating the process, when you've finished that, you save and close Squads.txt. The next time you start Legion Arena check out the recruitment list, you will find all squads from both armies ready to be selected.

I would suggest you don't activate "Ballista" and "Dummy General".

To restore Legion Arena back into its original form, copy the saved file back into the LA directory overwriting the alterations that you've made. Then restart LA and if you check the recruitment list it will be back as before.

It really is as simple as that!

Ave possum,

I noticed in another post you're playing your way through the Roman campaign with a Celtic army. It's like having another copy of the game, only the limits don't apply any more.

What do you think?

PS. If you're reading this, grimsta, thanks for jumping in with the swift answer for possum.

Oh, yes, sorry!

This post was very helpful. I figured out how to edit both squads.txt and arenasides.txt

And I should have replied, my apologies. I was just so busy playing with it, that I forgot.
