Ok I really am back into this game but hate after awhile how there are like 6stacks of troops in every province that I border. I am lucky to have 2. I micromanager my generals and try to put the best with the best and stuff like that. What I want to see is less money making for everyone (Not a must but would help)
The big thing I want is a limit to 16 units in one province at anytime. So one full stack, after that you can not create units there...I know this may be tuff but for me (who micromanagers to the letter) It would be funnier as I like smaller battles with no reinforcements. THANKS

I don't think that can be done, as it would fall in the mysterious realm known only as 'hardcoded, sorry'.
However if you want to see less units in the game, there are a few things you can do. The first thing I suggest is this. Make units require more than one turn to produce. This isn't especially difficult, even for someone with no experience. The gnome editing tool would be useful here.
Give that a try and experiment. You can always increase the cost and support of units too.
There's no one answer, basically.
EEUURAAH.

Thank for the ideas. There are 2 more things I would like to see butI don't think they are possible.
I would like my own general. Thats right...Sir Vincent. I would like to edit his own starting stats and have him not die (Or when he dies another Sir Vincent is created in his place) That would be cool, and maybe even more impossible, setting the vices and virtues.
Last is...hmm I keep forgetting this one, oh ya no 2-9 star created generals. I like earning all my stars, been like that since STW I hate creating units and have them have a command rating

createing sir vincent is not a prob, just add him to the heroes list for your faction, campmap/names/default_heroes.txt and add the name to the heroes section in Loc/eng/names.txt
adjust number of heroes up by one number (or replace an existing hero)
add name, stats, start date, and 1 vnv, also set as general , portrait to -1 and start province, you can either specily a particular province he will appear in or set to id_limbo for a random province.
i know that isn't in the right order, but it should help
however stooping him from dying or giving him the same name when he does all comes under that most anoying feature of the 56year bug he wil die 40 years after creation, his stats remain the same, but name changes. it appears to be hardcoded and we have yet to find a way round it. sorry
