add units - Custom Battle
Greetings. I have request for EB team, maybe you could do something with this. I wanted to add a unit of legionaires in lorica segmentata. I added proper files (skin, model, cards) and descriptions in export_descr_unit (basing on cohors imperatoria) and text files, even in export_descr_building. Everything is fine, game starts, but unit is no there, I mean- in custom battles. If I add a unit in campaign, it is visible, but not for custom battles. I thought that something is wrong with my models, so I did some tests with adding several other units from vanilla EB, only changing their names. Results are surprising- in custom battles some of them are accesible only for certain factions, despite proper notes in EDU.txt. For example, of 10 factions that unit should belong to, it is visible only for 3 in custom battles.
Could someone explain why that happens, and teach how to add a unit that will be visible for all factions in cutsom battles?
Re: add units - Custom Battle
I ran into the same problems, my guess is that it has to do with a maximum of units for custom battles. The solution might be to use the mp edu from your install folder\eb, which has less units for each faction, or to remove the ownership for certain regional units, or to paste the unit info higher up in EDU.
I am somewhat guessing, though I think it worked for one of my ctd_placeholders that I used to track ctds.
Re: add units - Custom Battle
Yes it is because of the number of units in the edu. I would suggest, as it would only work in the custom battles, to put it in the mp edu found in the eb folder. Just swap that in when you want to play a custom battle.

Though, bear in mind that 0.81a changes EDU but the MP EDU hasn't been updated appropriately yet.
