from what i read, you have to replace the EDU each time u want to play the custom battles and campaign..... makes no sense- cn s/o re-iterate?

There's no way around that because the engine grabs the first 100 units with faction ownership in the EDU

And we at EB thought that giving a faction more than 100 units would make the world a better place.

Don't worry I have plans in place to change this.

so do i have to replace the edu every time i want to play a custom battle, then unreplace it?

Yes. We haven't done this because we are lazy, this is the only way to get around the very large number of units we have in EB. It was the same for 0.8

then could you give me step-by-step directions how to do this- b/c i wanna see the new cohors imperatoria!

We will assume for the moment that the directory where you installed EB is

c:\program files\sega\Rome - Total War\

in c:\program files\sega\Rome - Total War\EB\mp custom game edu\ and rename the file "custom_edu.txt" to "export_descr_unit.txt".

right-click on the file you renamed and choose "copy".

in c:\program files\sega\Rome - Total War\EB\ right-click on the data folder and choose "paste".

it will ask you if you want to overwrite an existing file of the same name, choose "yes".

start the game.

Well, if you have the memory, you might just be able to copy the EB directory over and replace the EDU in that with the custom and then create a new shortcut that uses the mod switch to point to eb-multi(or whatever you rename the multi copy to.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Yep. And this has been the case ever since we adressed the issue in the 0.8x series...
