Units as Sovereigns?

from Elemental Forums

I was wondering, is it possible to take the art for say, a monster or "something else" to use as your Sovereign.

 

The basic Idea is to "create a soverign" then replace all codes referencing its appearance with art tags for various monsters or other units in the game, to make "Leader of Darklings" or "King of Aosk" or "Lord Draconia the Ashawake Dragon Pup".

Yes. There may be complications when you try to equip items on the sovereign from the sovereign creation screen.

The information for custom sovereigns is gathered from each racetype (CoreRaceTypes.xml) where male and female sovereign types are defined. Ex:

        <MaleUnitType>Generic_Sovereign_Altarian_Male</MaleUnitType>
        <FemaleUnitType>Generic_Sovereign_Altarian_Female</FemaleUnitType>
End of quote

those unittypes can, of course, be found in CoreUnits.xml
