Barbarian Leaders

[Patine]

Has ANYONE yet discovered ANY way AT ALL to spawn barbarian leaders or alter their stats in either MGE or ToT? Please let me know.

[Stefan Härtel]

I think any Barb unit with attack=0 becomes a 'leader'.

The barbarian leader has the same stats as the unit in the diplomat slot (47th). Create a barbarian diplomat and you have a barbarian leader. Edit: It will only cough up the gold if it has an AI role > 4.

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to know. Another question, though, on the topic: If you create a barb unit of the unit in the Diplomat slot, will it's graphic appear as the 'barb leader' slot, or the last one on the file?

[Mercator]

Aren't those one and the same? Or did you mean to ask whether it would look like a diplomat or a barbarian leader? Answering that one, you'd get a barbarian leader.

In plain english, It looks like the last unit which IS the barbarian leader slot (but the stats of slot 47 are used)

[Patine]

That's exactly what I'm asking. Thanks!

I have a question on this topic.

Can you rename the Barbarian Leader seperate from either 'Barbarian Leader' or whatever the Diplomat slot unit's called?

If so, how?

I plan to utilize such a unit in my Mythological scenario, now that I know it can be done.
