afaik, the messed up costum battle map screen is dircetly related to the complex recruitmentsystem, as it was in previous versions.
Nevertheless it is planned to release a sorted EDU, (if someone gets time to do it ) which can be used for mp or custom battle.
You could either have a cleaned costumbattle screen or the complex recruitmentsystem, not both at the same time.

You could use the no_custom unit attribute to clear the custom battle rosters up while leaving the campaign unaffected.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. This wouldn't work if the same units are used by more than one faction in different capacities (i.e. one has it as a homeland MIC recruitment option that should be in custom battle, and another has the same unit as a regional MIC unit, that shouldn't be in custom battle)

How about someone takes the edu, and then under ownership for each unit just adds a commented out line. In that commented out line, a new ownership list would be contained (that works but is just commented out), but this new ownership is just those factions who would get the unit in custom battles. This could be a part of the official version of the edu file, and all one would have to do is go down the list and move the commenting out character to the line above instead of having it on the one below. that could be saved then as a different file. Both files could be shipped, and the player just swaps them out if they want a campaign or a custom battle MP match.

The problem is not how to do it - I think we've had plans for a MP-friendly version of the EDU for a while now (basically only for those who don't plan to play campaigns, they can swap it in). Nor is the problem deciding what units go where.

The problem is simply finding someone who has the time to make all the necessary changes.

I'll do it.

that'd be great. there was a big amount of MP players and tourneys on RTR's Gold. now, when it become outdated, there is a need for an alternative version for MP. if EB could fill the gap that would have a ready responce from veteran RTR's MP players.
