the elven archers are supposed to get the Rohan upgrades, as defined in their coding. You'll need to change that in both the horde and the unit coding.

yes that's a move in the right direction, then you need to go into their object's coding and change the WeaponUpgrade, ArmorUpgrade and LevelUpgrade to the Gondor ones.

; Just a dummy upgrade module to allow this unit to be upgraded.

It's for the rohirrim, but it's practically the same You also have to fix it in the horde

Yup, and maybe remove his timer and give him a buildcost/time
Look in this topic, and others by Zen (Search function ) http://forums.revora...showtopic=30909

[ched]

there are hardly any differences, so try it out.

[King of Universe]

For the difference in BFME 1 and 2, there's no differences for childobjects, so the topic I gace you should do the trick
And the buildcost/time it would be easier to just write it in the balrog's file

Buildcost = 5000
Buildtime = 50

(Example)

[King of Universe]

Nope. If you want to put it in Gamdata it would be

#define BALROG_BUILDCOST 5000
#define BALROG_BUILDTIME 50

What I meant was to do like in the topic I gave you, make a childobject

[Phil]

(How cool to be back helping again... hehe)

Okay... let's start with really basic things:

Every unit, building etc is defined as an object:

Object BLABLABLA

blablabla

End

Of course there's a lot of stuff inside that object but that's not important now...

Now if you want to make a very similar object, e.g. only changing cost and buildtime but not editing the original you make a so-called ChildObject.

ChildObject BLABLABLA-NEW BLABLABLA-OLD

blablabla

End

In this section, you only write down the changes and you need to reference the original object name after the new Childobject name.

So in your case make a childobject of the Balrog where you change the stats that need to be changed (add Buildcost, Buildtime etc).

Oh Guest, In the link I provided it's alot of info on ChildObjects. Look in another topic by Zen aswell. He made a topic only on COs
