How to customize "Unit Pack Mods"

Here is my tutorial how you can add, change or remove something in Unit Pack Mods.


ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - EMPIRE (AUM-EMP)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - NAPOLEON (AUM-NAP)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - SHOGUN (AUM-SHO)

ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD - ROME (AUM-ROM)


All tables here are shown with the "vanilla standard table" names between " ". In the pack files of unit packs these tables have prefixes like this "aum_" or "my_units_" or "nameofmod_".


You need to download the latest Pack File Manager. A note to 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 db tables. One wrong entry can cause CTD's. Please create a backup before you edit the pack file in case that it doesn't load anymore after you changed it.

Under the title you see in which AUM mods you can use the related customization.
