no changes happen

I'm trying to make a simple mod so that all of the npcs are uber-powered, but its not working. i used the editor to change the stats for several charecters as a test. i had set hired blade, for example, to have full black armor and SoWs on chargers. i created a new file and raised a couple with cheats. when i asked one to see their stats, they were just standard hired blades. they had niether the 24 strength i had set in the editor, nor the black armor and chargers. it didn't work when i tried to set similar stats/equipment on marnid or borcha either. is there something i'm doing wrong? does the game go to some kind of default if the stats are too high (because you can't get those stats at level 25)? someone please help me

You have to start a new game. I think that your post belongs in the editors thread.

i did start a new game. but it still didn't work. also, i thought that this might be more of a mod than a question about the editor, but whatever.

Are you loading it out of the Native directory? If you are trying to load troops.txt out of a different Mods directory, it won't work. There is a current M&B bug that it only loads troops.txt from the Mods/Native directory.

If you are loading it from the Native directory, then I have no idea why the changes wouldn't take.

thank you. i'll try backing up native and putting the mod in there instead. that also explains why my change to the arrows did work, but the troops didn't. 48-arrow quivers rule

i might try the arrow thing. also, try changing the npcs so that you can watch what looks like 80 dark knights, but with strong bows, battling with the swandian knights for the independence of the vageir lands. :tears of joy:
