Modding: How to Edit Units

This section will detail the various attributes and values found in a Unit XML and how to change them.

Required Software
You will need some kind of software to edit .xml files. Notepad++ is a good starting point as it is free and open source.

File Directories
The game files can be found in ...Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer 40000 Gladius - Relics of War If you have installed the game somewhere else, or are not using steam you will have a different file path. Before you make any edits it is recommend you back up the folder "Data" so that you can restore the game to an unmodded state if you break it.

Procedure
Navigate to the unit you want to edit. In this example we will be using the Astra Militarum unit "Guardsman".


 * 1) Open the File Directory ...\Warhammer 40000 Gladius - Relics of War\Data\World\Units\AstraMilitarum
 * 2) Open the file "Guardsman.xml" in your editing software (Notepad++)
