Aggressive-like Trait: Possible using XML?

[bkwrm79]

Thanks to the great help threads on this forum, I've figured out how to make mods giving leaders different traits.

The next thing I'd like to do is add a trait, if that's possible using only XML. I want it to be like Aggressive, but would apply to mobile units instead of foot units. (Horse, Gunship, Armor. Not explorers or Mech Inf.)

Is this possible? How would I go about it?

Presumably I'd start by copying and renaming Aggressive, but I'm not sure what to do after that.

I think the Mongols in particular would be better served; they didn't historically have superb infantry troops that I can recall, but it would be nice to beef up the Keshik and give a boost to subsequent fast units.

Change the Promotion given to that one that gives an additional movment point (?speed?).
Then change the Unit types from melle and Gunpowder to Mounted, Armored and Helecopter.

I think this could be cool idea for Mongolia but I am afraid movment 3 Keisik could be too powerfull, they already have ignore terrain cost. With 3 movment they could move pillage and move again in a single turn.

Trait could also use a Building modifier, I have a rather chessy stable I whiped up that gives +3 exp to Mounted, it stacks with Barracks and is avalible with HorseRiding, art button is also HR and structure is a forge. ganart also made a nice stable with some realy amazing art (hes a proffecional and the stuff is every bit the equal to the games original art) get his Mod over on the Mods page.

Thanks! I'll try and see if I can do it now.

I wasn't thinking Navigation, necessarily. That'd be cool, but you're right that it might be overpowered for Keshiks (and also for Tanks and MA; it'd be fine for Gunships). More likely leave it as Combat I.

Thanks Impaler, it works. I might try the stable thing next.

*sigh* Unfortunately, the game I'm trying it in isn't going so well, as my Keshiks have run into Longbowmen... but that's what sometimes happens when a builder player tries all-out warmongering. If only Gandhi would stick to passive resistance!
