Hey guys, I wanted to make units available to all factions who control a certain region, so to test it I added the resources briton to the proper regions in descr_regions, and then added briton to the list of hidden resources in export_descr_buildings.
To test if my hidden resource worked, I changed the entry recruit "warband sword briton" 4 requires factions { britons, } to recruit "warband sword briton" 4 requires factions { britons, } and hidden_resource briton.
I then went into game and booted up a game as Briton, expecting to be able to recruit swordsmen only in the British isles, and not on the mainland province. Instead I could not recruit the unit anywhere any more. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
(I am using the Steam version of RTW BTW)

I am no modder, but AFAIK you need to delete the map.rmw file for any map-related changes take effect in-game.

Also (though I am not sure this applies to hidden resources), don't you need to add the resource location (the coordinates) to descr_strat?

I don't think you need to specify coordinates for hidden resources, but I may be wrong. I'll give it a try and see if it works.
