Hello,

I would like to know which files I have to change to mod the unit conversion from Empires to FoG II. I know the UNITS.CSV in the Empires DATA folder mentions the unit conversion into FoG II, but is that all I need to change or there are other necessary files in the FoG II data folder? Thanks in advance!

You don't need to mod anything at the FOG2 end, unless you want to disable the code that converts Pre-Marian legions in the proportion of 2 hastati/principes and 1 triarii FOG2 units, or the code that converts horse archers into a mix of light horse and cavalry.

Thank you very much, Richard! That was exactly the answer I was looking for.

Hello Richard,

What if a modder wants to create units in FOG Empires that would work like the pre-Marian Legions or the horse archers, converting one FOGE Unit to two different FOG2 units (or perhaps three even) ? Is there a way to do it ?

Yes. It would require modding the TranslateLiaisonUnitToFOGCampaignUnits() function in LiaisonTools.BSF

To avoid modding your main build, this would need to be done as a Global Mod, by placing the modded LiaisonTools.bsf file in /Documents/My Games/FieldOfGlory2/MODS/YourModName/Data/Scripts

You can then activate that global mod when playing Empires.
