lastly we must alter arwens autoresolve data so that she will automaticly respawn should she die in autoresolve combat

in livingworldautoresolvebody.ini

scroll till you find the following code

AutoResolveBody AutoResolve_ArwenBody
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL1_HP Level:1
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL2_HP Level:2
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL3_HP Level:3
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL4_HP Level:4
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL5_HP Level:5
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL6_HP Level:6
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL7_HP Level:7
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL8_HP Level:8
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL9_HP Level:9
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL10_HP Level:10
end

to this we must add a single line, yes thats right just one single line

LeaveInArmySummary = Yes

it should look something like this
AutoResolveBody AutoResolve_ArwenBody
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL1_HP Level:1
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL2_HP Level:2
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL3_HP Level:3
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL4_HP Level:4
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL5_HP Level:5
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL6_HP Level:6
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL7_HP Level:7
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL8_HP Level:8
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL9_HP Level:9
HitpointsAtLevel = Hitpoints:ARWEN_LVL10_HP Level:10
LeaveInArmySummary = Yes
End

thats it youve done it arwen now should function as an additional hero army. note if you are creating a hero army from scratch you need to have also done the autoresolve armour and weapon data as well as autoresolve leadership data if you hero provides leadership bonuses

also you must add an entry to livingworldbuildableunits.inc

those entries look like
LivingWorldPlayerArmy
    Name = ArwenPlayerArmy
    DisplayNameTag = LWA:ElvesHeroArmy
    ArmyEntry
        ThingTemplate = ElvenArwen_1
        Quantity = 1
    End
End

Good tutorial, even if I already know everything (except the "LeaveInSummary", I looked for its effect for weeks, thank you a lot!), it is very useful.

You did good work, and it's good that you explain why you need to put some things in. However, the markup and spelling of this article needs some work, so I gave you a 3 (OK).

Work on those things and it will get at least 4 ;)

I can't believe I missed the "LeaveInArmySummary = Yes". I'll try this out and if it works I'll definitely give you a 5 for helping me get rid of one of my nasty bugs.

Also, some tags will help the article out.

Good tutorial, easy to understand, but, you should probably add code tags. Well done!
