Introduction and basic information

ok, my previous guide was to change a CaH power into a normal power, useable for normal heroes. This time it's about changing a normal power into a CaH power.

The power I will use to explain the conversion with is the passive outlaw leadership of Eomer.



This guide was written with ini files from Battle for Middle Earth 2 patch 1.04

Note: This guide was tested with BFME 2 patch 1.04. With patch 1.05 of the official game, the leadership system was changed. The effects haven't been tested yet.
This doesn't apply to RotWK v1.0 as the expansion is based on patch 1.04 of the original game.

Nice tutorial.
Can you help me in something? I am new in the site and I want to create a new ability for create a hero archers. It would be a passive ability that increases the range and attack speed of the bow. I noticed that I can do it in weapon.ini and I tried creating a new weapon based on the CreateAHeroBasicRangedWeapon. As soon as the hero gets this new ability in game I want to update this CreateAHeroBasicRangedWeapon to my new weapon object . Is this even possible? Tried it in createaheroweaponupgrades.inc but the program don't really accept anything

I need some help with my project, I'm making a goblin create a hero, I have him in the Servant of sauron area and I need to add Mount/Dismount Scorpion & Toggle Weapon. If you could help me that would be great (I have a forum file in the BFME2/RTWK section the goblin one talking about adding the Goblin Fiend)

Thanks for the guide. But do you know how to convert the special power of Mount/Dismount into the power of Elven CaH Archer?
