Is is possible to make other factions mercenary units available to other factions just by typing the new faction name into the EDU.txt,or is it more
complicated than that?:dizzy2:

what in custom battle??? yeh all you have to do is add the faction name (with a comma) and make sure it doesn't have a no_custom part near the top and it should be available for custom battles :thumbsup:

There's no "faction specific" mercs in the campaign. Mercs in the campaign game are governed by the \Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_mercenaries.txt, which basically rules what mercs pop up where, how often, with how much exp, and so on. That's the one you want to tweak (about the only way I know to get the Yubtsebs for example).

I concur with Watchman. In the campaign game, all mercenaries are available to all factions. This is an aspect of the mercenary_unit attribute in edu. The other factions listed in the ownership line just allow them to use the merc in custom battles as well.
