[Lord Dazed & Confused]

Hi every one

I've seen it mentioned in a previous thread but not the solution

If anyone can help before I pul all my hair out... Ta
in advance

I think you need to use a new unit_prod because otherwise the game will notice that it isn't a valid faction in other campaign files that use the unitprod. Basically, if you used CRUSADER_UNIT_PROD11 and didn't add the faction in every campaign file, it won't work. You need to copy the unit and build files and put a line like this:

Prodfiles:: UNITPROD "Early_Modded_Crusaders_unit_prod11.txt" BUILDINGPROD "Early_Modded_Crusader_build_prod13.txt"
(from BKB's mod)

in your campaign file.

Glad I could help

You could also add it's declare faction line to the other capaigns using the same unit_prod file.
