Possibly, however what I was getting at is that it could be manually worked around by pasting all the model info from one mod into the battle_models file, then pasting all the model info from another mod directly after it.

Since they all reference the same file, and as far as I know it doesn't hurt to have models in there that aren't in use, what would problems be?

It's a tad burdensome, but compared to MTW and RTW (separate installs for every mod) I will take it any day.
