Does anyone know how? I’ve tried using the speech folder in the unit list in the editor, but unsure if there is a way to change it. I’m trying to make a French Royal Knight have english speech for example.

What exactly do you want to do? Add voices or modify the voices with those of other units?

For the case of the knight :

Open Attributes :

EBPS :

– action\_apply\_ext :  
---- action\_state\_trees :  
------ 2. container : copy / paste the same line as the English Knight.

SBPS :

– squad\_speech\_ext :  
---- age\_mapping :  
------- 1. Put “3”  
------- 2. Put “3”

You have to change 1 and 2 age\_mapping otherwise you won’t hear any English voices in the dark age and the feudal age, because English knights only exist from age 3.

I tried doing exactly what you said, but the royal knight still speaks French.

I’m trying to mod the English King Unit to be Henry V, (using a French Royal Knight as the skin). Everything works as it should, except the unit speech.

Thanks for your reply by the way.

Try to compare the lines of the 2 files of the English and French knights by clicking on each one while holding the CTRL key. Maybe, you will see better what needs to be changed.

If you need more help, send me a private message, with a screenshot of your changes if possible. I will try to help you 😉
