Well I'm back, my PC crashed and I just got it working again though I still don't fully trust the hard drive yet....

Glad to hear it works for you and thanks for the heads up! Also as z3n guessed I don't mind you uploading it elsewhere since it's really no hard work at all!

Anyway, since this seems to develop its own dymanic and I really don't want to hijack Zaskar's great unit thread propably a moderator could split the last part to its own topic?

[Swiss Halberdier]

Congratulations for your new Vikings! Great to see you modding in Attila.

[Påsan]

For some reason the units are only added to the Geats. Anyone else getting this problem? I am playing as the Jutes atm.

Yeah same problem. Are you using the viking faction color overhaul?

[Squab66]

I'm not using the overhaul and i'm still getting the units only for Geats.

Hi nord, if you mean Zaskar's units I can indeed distribute them among factions and have already done that for myself BUT I don't know if I would violate the terms of service if I'd upload it since it is just an alteration of someone else's work.

However I can give you quick instructions how to do it yourself since its fairly easy.

1) You need the Packfile Manager, you can get it here http://sourceforge.net/projects/packfilemanager/
Personally I use version 3.2.1 but I suppose there can't go anything wrong with 3.5.1, if anything it might be better.

2) Unpack to its own folder and open the PackFileManager.exe

3) On the top left corner click File -> Open -> Navigate to wherever you put the viking_ravagers.pack -> double click to open

4) Go to db/ units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables/ vrz_units_to_groupings_military_permissions
You should see a chart.

5) If you want to have the units for Jutes only and not for anyone else, replace the entries in the column military_group with att_nor_jutes
If you want to add the units to different factions copy their entries from the units column and create new entries for the military_group column, e.g. att_nor_danes , att_nor_saxons

So if you for example make all of them availible to 4 factions (Geats, Jutes, Danes, Saxons) you should end up with 16 rows.

This should modifiy their avability in the campaign, for custom battles:

6) Go to db/ units_custom_battle_permission_tables/ vrz_units_custom_battle_permissions
7) Pretty much just repeat step 5, only this time the column "military_group" is called "faction" and insted of "att_nor_jutes" you need "att_fact_iuti" (for saxons "att_fact_saxones", danes "att_fact_dani", geats "att_fact_gauti")
Make sure siege_unit_attacker and siege_unit_defender are checked, if you want them as a general unit you could also check that.


I hope I made clear how to do it and if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Please excuse that I don't upload it but I hope you understand that I'd rather be sure before breaking any rules of TWC or offending the original creator, Zaskar.
