The first thing I found when I searched was the official tutorial:

https://aow.triumph.net/data/Modding/Modding_Guide_v1.pdf

Very helpful. Without it, Chivalrous Intentions wouldn't exist!

Thank you, That Human. I believe this is exactly what I'm looking for.

Hello and thanks for this thread!

On that note ---- I'm also brand new to modding the game (and modding in general.) I found that guide very helpful to get started.

I want to start simple -- adjusting unit stats (HPs, damage, movement, etc.).

However, when that guide says, under 5.11, "Open the RPK file that contains the unit from “steamapps\common\AoW3\Content\Title\Packs" I'm stumped: I cannot find the right RPK file for specialization-based units.

For example, the closest I get to Dreadnaught UNITs such as Flame Tanks and Engineers, is the "skills" folder, but that folder doesn't have units. And the race-specific units doesn't have the racial version of specialization units either.

Does anyone know which folder has specialization-specific units?

Also - does anyone know of a key to finding units, given the folders are not intuitive except for the racial units and a few others, like the two maritime units?

Many thanks for any help for this modding newbie.
