Is it possible to make the Avari archers and swordsmen recruitable? They look awesome and it would be cool to have some in my army. This mod is amazing!!!!!!!!The elves rule.

I'm hoping it is...

I'm pretty sure you could mod it in, there should be a guide of how to add new units on the website.
Here it is

Actually I was referring to the call of cuiniven (or something like that) power where 4 battalions of Avari elves are summoned and after a fixed time disappear. How would I make them recruitable if they're already present ingame?

[Lauri]

Well..

The units should already have a horde, so if you know some basics coding, you should be able to get them in VERY easy, by just making a button for them, and possibly add buildcost and time..
And you'll likely need to have buttons for them, I do not know if they have that or not, since they don't need buttons really (Can't recall how the power's button looks like, but you could use that )

[Elvenlord]

Hmmmm, looking over it, you're right, it really doesn't help, I didn't actually read it, I just assumed it had experiance and adding them to some building's commandset so said building can build them. My mistake.

Well, is it possible?

[Elvenlord]

Yep. I'm probably forgetting something, but you need to add its own experiance levels and add it to the barrack's commandset.

[{IRS}Athos]

How would I do that? I'm not really a modder, so...

[adummy]

you are going to have to learn basic modding if you want to add them in.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Long time no see adummy
I am not sure but they might have timers so you will have to use.add the non timed versions

[Elvenlord]

Oh yes, the timers, you'll have to create non-timed ones as Radspakr said.

To have them buildable is simple, first you need to go to the elven hordes and change their build costs to whatever you want then create a command butoon for them by copying an existing button such as Command_ConstructElvenScoutHorde and changing all the "ElvenScouts" to "ElvenAvariArcher" or "ElvenAvariWarrior"

Then you go to commandsets.ini and add # = Command_ConstructElvenAvariWarrior Or Command_ConstructElvenAvariArcher to any building's command set. It should now be buildable.

Here are the command buttons:

CommandButton Command_ConstructElvenAvariArcherHorde
	Command				= UNIT_BUILD
	Object				= ElvenAvariArcherHorde
	Options				= CANCELABLE
;NeededUpgrade		= Upgrade_StructureLevel2
	TextLabel			= CONTROLBAR:ConstructElvenAvariArcherHorde
	ButtonImage			= UPAvari
	ButtonBorderType	= BUILD; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
	DescriptLabel		= CONTROLBAR:ToolTipBuildElvenAvariArcherHorde
	Radial				= Yes
	InPalantir	   		= Yes
	ShowProductionCount	= Yes
	UnitSpecificSound   = GondorArcherVoiceBuy
End

CommandButton Command_ConstructElvenAvariWarriorHorde
	Command				= UNIT_BUILD
	Object				= ElvenAvariWarriorHorde
	Options				= CANCELABLE
;NeededUpgrade		= Upgrade_StructureLevel2
	TextLabel			= CONTROLBAR:ConstructElvenAvariWarriorHorde
	ButtonImage			= UPAvari
	ButtonBorderType	= BUILD; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
	DescriptLabel		= CONTROLBAR:ToolTipBuildElvenAvariWarriorHorde
	Radial				= Yes
	InPalantir	   		= Yes
	ShowProductionCount	= Yes
	UnitSpecificSound   = GondorArcherVoiceBuy
End

btw avari archer and warrior hordes use the elven warrior build cost so you can just leave it if you like

just a quick note: The elves would be buildable but they won't have any commands, if you want the command set of the summoned avari add this to both hordes: CommandSet = GenericCommandSet
