thanks. i must have did something wrong. i tried adding militia sergeants but when i loaded up the game, the early period had disappeared from the options for a campaign. i was able to get it back by undoing the changes and i ended up just replacing some catapults and desert archers with seljuk lancers. i have no idea if this will help them or not but i'm just about to get started on a new campaign.

can you add as many units as you want, or do you have to use the existing slots? sorry for all of the stupid questions but i'm kinda intimidated by the modding the game thing.
