This is a mod i made For the Saxons adding Frankish units to the roster Units that were added are

Noble Germanic swordsmen
Sword Heerbann
Royal Anstrutiones
Axe Heerbann
Francisa Heerbann
Germanic Archers

It adds much more diversity and more professional army in later tiers Let me know what you guys think

screens ?

I would like to make screenis for you, but the thing is that the mod isn't starting at all. When i load the mod the game crashes at the Intro screen.

Well it is strange. I can't just activate it with the integrated modmanager of Attila in this case it is crashing. When i start it with the modmanager from this forum i get in to the game, but the units do not show up in the roster.

Game crashes on startup

I'm looking forward to seeing the mod working, some screenies would be nice too if possible.

**Dicer** · February 23, 2015, 10:33 AM

Ok well Im not sure what I did wrong see I added the units on the Attila main data pack ..I then extracted the unit_to faction permissions table from the data and made that into this mod Im not sure why it's not working
Im going to try something

I checked your table and what you have done so far seems alright. However i think you miss something. I would think you need to add them also in to the units_costum_battle_permissions and building_units_allowed_tables. It could be crashing because you put them in to the faction but they can't be used since you have to unluck them in to costum battles and give them a building to recruit them. However i still trying to get my own unit to work so i can't say anything for sure, but i saw others do it that way.

Try to look in to this tables how he did it. It's not perfect because some units are actually the same, but what he did with the tables you should need to do as well.

See I didnt have to touch either of theses tables and it works for me i just dont have them in custom battles only campaign

Okey that was a missunderstanding it seems. Than you have to write that people need to activate it with the Modmanager from this forum and not the one integrated in to the game. With the modmanager from the forum i get in to the game and as i tested i have them ingame.

I will test it further, but what bothers me still a bit is that they keep their names. Maybe you will find a way to rename them in future because i don't want to use units as Saxon which have a name with Frankish- or Salian

Ok great so it works then

**Marcus Aemilius Lepidus** · February 23, 2015, 11:29 AM

Here are some impressions how they look ingame. Since the faction colours are pretty much the same you won't notice much of a change. And i am sorry, i tried 3 campaign battles, in all 3 it was raining
