As per Madisonian's post on 2024-04-21, edit the Units.xml file located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\2435101534\Core.
Under <TypeTags> remove lines 48-53:

Under <UnitAbilities> remove line 153 (159 if you haven’t deleted 48-53):
<Row UnitAbilityType="EPSTWEAK_SUPPORT_ABILITY_SHIELDBEARER_STUB" Name="LOC_EPSTWEAK_SUPPORT_ABILITY_SHIELDBEARER_STUB_NAME" Description="LOC_EPSTWEAK_SUPPORT_ABILITY_SHIELDBEARER_STUB_DESCRIPTION"/>

Chasing down a blank Ability line on the Unit Panel for Melee, Recon, Anti-Cavalry, Ranged, and Siege led to LOC_EPSTWEAK_SUPPORT_ABILITY_SHIELDBEARER_DESCRIPTION being empty in the text file.

By correcting that, I noticed the Shieldbearer +4 seems to be incorrectly applied to those 5 classes instead of the being linked to the Shieldbearer class; instead, there's an extraneous ability EPSTWEAK_SUPPORT_ABILITY_SHIELDBEARER_STUB that links to the Shieldbearer class/unit. That has a Name and Description but no UnitAbilityModifiers (so it displays on the UnitPanel Abilities for the Shieldbearer unit despite having no linked modifier), while EPSTWEAK_SUPPORT_ABILITY_SHIELDBEARER has UnitAbilityModifiers but no text description, and incorrectly linked classes. Linking the Shieldbearer ability and class together, removing the 5 other classes, and deleting the incomplete _STUB entries fixed everything.

Btw your mod works fine with JNR's Castles - Better Forts. New support units apply production bonus while stationing in fort properly, so using both mods is safe.

Thank you for a quick answer :>

That's not a big deal - I was just curious, because I wasn't able to buy support unit's army/corps despite possibility of stacking them manually.

Thank you for this mod!!

It wasn't intentional initially, but I left it in because I honestly don't have a way to prevent it? Seems like any land unit with a combat strength just automatically gains that.

I have noticed that I am able to stack demolotion crew units into corps/armies. Is it intentional?

Love this

They re-use models from the game. Shieldmaster uses the swordsman model. Pathfinder uses the Scout model, etc.

Can you include a picture of every new units pls? Thanks

i am using Better Recon - Unit by Luke Jesus Saves which overhauls the scout promotion tree and treat them like the scouts from 5. i'll try a game without that mod and see if it works.

Just checked - it works on my end. Sounds like some other mod you're using is messing with the modifiers on the scout promotions? (Those same modifiers are used on the Pathfinder)

Can confirm that pathfinder's ability is not working, also scout units no longer get reduced movement cost on hills and forest from promotions for some reason, although I'm not sure this problem is caused by your mod

yes. escort or not and no matter who leads said escort pathfinder is slowed down.

Have you tried selecting the Pathfinder when moving in escort formation?

as a heads up the Pathfinder is slowed down by hils/woods/rivers and the ability is not enabled when entering escort formation.

I would imagine so? So long as none of the techs are deleted, they should appear on them.

does it happen to work with mods that alter the tech tree like JNR's or mods that add significant numbers of units like warfares expanded?

Yes

This one still working?

No, they use existing ones.

Do these units have their own models?

I started it immediately after adding the mods... I just started a new one and they've been applied this time. Idk what happened but all good now. Thanks for these!

Did you start that game before adding the mods? If so, they won't apply to that game.

I may be missing something but just added 2/3rds of the tweaks and they aren't working with brand new russia game. (inspired by potato). Is it because of the last patch you think or did I mess up?

Oh, whoops. Forgot to change a GUID during copying. Nice catch.
Should be fixed now.

Seems not to be fully compatible with your " Civic Unit" Mods.
With this mod in , each Civic Unit loses its icon.

Ta bueno tu mod ;)

Nope. They have the SiegeSupportAI shared between all support units.

Did you give these new units a separate class that was added to AiOperationTeams that ai can recognize to use these units ?

Very creative. Good work

This is very cool
