Step by Step Instructions to Add A New Unit to an Existing Campaign?

Post by Aksully »

If not too much trouble could a modder or developer give a step by step instruction on how to add a unit to an existing campaign? For example I'd like to add a mechanized infantry unit called Panzer Division Kempf to the 1939 campaign at the start of the attack on Poland. I think there's a process that the unit needs to be created in the country build database that can then be selected to be added to the map at the appropriate hex. But I'd appreciate a step by step that I can follow and know it will run correctly. Thanks in advance!!

Hi Aksully

Open the campaign in the Editor.
Click on File -> Save As and give it a new name.
It might take a little time to save.
Click on Campaign -> Edit Country Data.
Select Germany.
Click on Edit Unit Build Data.
Select the unit type, type Kempf in the box at the top right, and click Add/Edit.
Click Ok in the bottom right.
Click Ok to return to the map.
Click on Map -> Edit Unit Layer.
Select Germany and then the unit type.
Choose Kempf from the list that will appear.
Left click on the map where you want it to be.
Save.

Thank You for this!

How about step by step instructions on how to change the strength of a starting unit.Once I place a new unit it is always at 10 and I can find no way to change it.

Thanks in advance!

I found it.

Click on "Select Item(s)"
Right click on the unit and a dialog will come up to edit stats.
