Dismounted Reiksguard

[OverLORDY]

Where can I get the dismounted reiksguard? They don't show up at Castle Reiksguard. Same with Altdorf.

Many units have disappeared between COW and BOTET: for example, dismonted blood knights and von carsteins are gone. It may be the same with dismounted reiksguard

OverLORDY - I was modding the other day and noticed that they left a lot of the old textures/attachments that are not used anymore in the battle_moddels.modeldb. I double-checked and looks like they have the dismounted rieksguard still in there (but not the one with the halberds)

These are the entries you'll use:

21 dismounted_Reiksguard
25 dismounted_Reiksguard_ug1
25 dismounted_Reiksguard_ug2

If you haven't modded before - please MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF EVERY FILE BEFORE STARTING - I cannot stress this enough! (especially the battle_moddels.modeldb because just 1 wrong entry and your game will not start).

Here's what you'll need to add the unit in-game:

Notepad++ (its free): https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.6.4.html

How to add a new unit (Its muy reccomendo that you read the associated guide to descr_export_units.txt that is linked in the first paragraph)

Guide to the battle_moddels.modeldb (BMBD for short)

Not really needed, but eventually, you'll most likely make a mistake there (we all have lol) and your game won't start - and you'll curse and cry "Woe is me!" until you remember I gave you a link to understanding and fixing it

The dismounted_Reiksguard are the swordmen, the dismounted_Reiksguard_ug1 are the halberdmen and the dismounted_Reiksguard_ug2 are twohandswordman used as officers.
So you just have to add a new entry in the export_descr_unit.txt like this, for example:

type dismounted Reiksguard
dictionary dismounted_Reiksguard
category infantry
class heavy
voice_type light
banner faction banner_reik_foot
banner holy crusade
soldier dismounted_Reiksguard, 47, 0, 1.5
officer dismounted_Reiksguard_ug2
officer dismounted_Reiksguard_ug2
attributes sea_faring, knight, can_withdraw, command
move_speed_mod 0.9
formation 1.2, 1.2, 2, 2, 6, square
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 10, 6, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, sword, 0, 1
stat_pri_attr no
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, melee_simple, blunt, none, 0, 1
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 11, 6, 4, metal
stat_sec_armour 3, 3, metal
stat_heat 2
stat_ground 0, -2, -3, -1
stat_mental 18, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 20
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 2, 2000, 300, 100, 100, 2000, 2, 600
armour_ug_levels 5, 6
armour_ug_models dismounted_Reiksguard
ownership hre
era 0 hre
info_pic_dir merc
recruit_priority_offset 20

and in the export_descr_buildings.txt search for the barracks_5 and add this line, again as example, they will be recruited in the last barracks building with a replenishing of 8 turns

recruit_pool "dismounted Reiksguard" 1 0.13 2 1 requires factions { hre, }

Good Modding!
