Hi, thanks for the reply dude, unfortumately the latter if it is possible, though the first might be quite usefull as well. But I was really wanting to limit the possible number of a unit rcruited.
I'll tell you what it's for. I'm doing a mod from RTW which is a bit like empire, but a semi-fictional setting eg the english are the Albion's the Prusians the Pruzzlander and so on. During that era some of the nations recruited foreighn regiment, particularly the French, with Irish, German's, Scot's, Waloon's etc. To a lesser extent so did Austria Spain and Holland. If you just build a unit, which is a foreign type than you could end up with most of the army of France being recruited by the computer as Waloon's or Irish or whatever. So i was wanting to set a limit on the number recuited. Perhaps the best solution is to make the recuitment slow and in limited locations etc.
Anyway any advice is welcome.

Thanks
