How to customize "Unit Pack Mods"

Here is a tutorial how you can add, change or delete content within Unit Pack Mods.

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - NAPOLEON (AUM-NAP)

You need to download the Pack File Manager. A note about the use of the "Pack File Manager" for all players who are not experienced how to use this tool. I recommend to be very careful what you edit in the database tables. One wrong entry can cause crashes. Please create a backup before you edit a mod in case that it doesn't load anymore after you changed it.

Pack File Manager

Under the title you see in which AUM mods you can use the related customization. All AUM mod tables in all Total War games use this database table prefix: "aum_*"

You can raise these values in these two columns: "Men" and "Artillery"

Example:
