Ok I've been going through it, I unselected word wrap and it actually makes sense now.

What do the resources alpha through theta stand for?

Also, what units have problems?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

That's the way they are limited to certain provinces. Provinces have variations of those hidden resources, those combinations allow complex recruitment.

Well I knew that, but I wanted to know exactly what they meant, like Theta stands for all the provinces in Iberia or something...

it doesn't work that way fallen. you'll probably need someone to explain the whole scheme to you. khelvan broke me in, so to speak.. and if you really want to help out with recruitment, someone will do that for you.

for a short answer, the hidden resources alpha through theta are simply arbitrary conditionals. the combinations of "on"s and "off"s ("and"s and "and not"s) provide unique resource conditions that can be tied to specific provinces. so a line that reads

recruit "monkeybuddies"  0  requires factions { gauls } and hidden_resource alpha and hidden_resource beta and hidden_resource gamma and hidden_resource delta and hidden_resource epsilon and hidden_resource zeta and hidden_resource eta and not hidden_resource theta

is defining recruitment for a specific unit (monkeybuddies) to a specific faction (aedui) in a specific province (turns out to be mrogbonna.. i think..), for example.

the individual HRs have no relation to specific regions or anything like that.

Each province has a unique combination of hidden resources, allowing us to define unit recruitment on a per-province basis. It isn't the most efficient way to do it, but it is the easiest way, as no one had the time to work on the hybrid system I designed.

So each province is a specific combination of the resources? Simple enough, but how do I translate the resource lines into a province? Is there a master list somewhere?
