Your best bet is probably a skill that has an effect.
The effect could look like this:
Effect
10
|flags
Description grants target protection of 2 points.
Unit
Duration=1
Health_protect=health
There might be other ways, but that is probably the easiest to do.

hello and thank you alan for the info. was trying to add a skill named "side
step" which would allow him to do some type of parry, thus deflecting damage
from the opponent, is this possible and how? even if it doesn't protect
against all damage it will be useful

The unit can be simulated, so to speak, but that specific is unuseable

Let me see if I can jot down an example...
Just as an example below is a generic "archer" unit, followed by a horse
then two skills.long

Ok, notice that the horse unit has attack points, but no attack skill.
When the archer uses the mount skill, that longbow skill is added to the
horse. Now the horse is technically "carrying" an interactive unit. As
as you use separate mount and dismount skills for the different units thatthings,
can use a horse, then a horse could carry a swordsman, a knight, or even a
wizard.
Any kind of specific skill, effect, or passive skill can be transferred in
this way, as long as the horse has the points present already.
I use Monkey's additional description script flag for these kind of
sbbo if you choose to use it, you will have to add his scrips flag name toif
the map pack settings file.
I hope this works for you.

is it possible to have an archer mount a horse and still be able to use a

The problem is that the various mounts and riders made it impractical to

I usually use some map pack files as a guide to see how certain flags
used, but also look at the official documentation for said flags-Ian's Mapfor
Creation Guide and the Script Flag guides for the most part. Once you get
the hang of things, it's a lot of fun!
kinda disappears, so you can't use their powers, which sucks. The reason
Honestly, with the dragons in Age of Warlords the unit who mounts them
this is that mounts in that pack use the transport script flags, also fromwarhorse,
Craig Brett's set. I would suggest the mount skill 1. Defeats the
and 2. transforms the knight into a mounted knight, for example. I can'tdescribed
think how to do this without the horse having to use the skill, though,
which would be passing strange. I'd have to think about it a bit more.

Transforming involves using script flags. These are listed and

a few things. here are a list of units I have thought up: meaning i
Itext files with there names
swordsman- basic foot soldier with sword
knight- swordsman that turns into this. better than swordsman
archer- basic ranged unit.
marksman- archer turns into this. better than archer
watch guard- basic wall guard
sentinal- basic wall guard turns into this. better than watch guard.
Horse- basic mount.
War horse- better than horse, horse turns into this.
Stables- where horses can be recruited.
extra info- Knights and marksman can mount horses.
Now if I could get some help on transforming horses, into war horses,
archers into marksman, and so on, would be very helpful. Another thing
iswas aneed help on is making the horse, I copyed the blue dragon file as it
mount, but I get errors, so any help is appreciated. My last question
ISubject
knowhave fortifications- (the wall that surrounds the castle) but I don't
stillhow to make it so that team one (good) can't pass the wall, but it can
be able to see the castle.
thanks and let me know about the units
