    Default recruiting more than 1 elite unit?

    Does anybody know an easy way to recruit more than the 1 unite of Swiss Guards if playing France, or Walloon Guards if playing Spain?
    Those unites are sweet.
    Also could these units then be made available to other factions? Say if you take that factions capital such as Moscow and they have the Winter Palace could you then recruit a unit of Siemenovski Foot Guards.

    by modding, that would work.

    I know wtf, I can only recruit 2 US Marines, 1 2nd Hussar and a few others.


    WTF! I want to form a division or army of Marines to do raids on north africa! Also, they'd be the backbone of expeditionary forces.

    Well as for the 2nd Hussars, there was only one regiment: the 2nd (Zieten) Hussars

    Like mentioned, go to this link http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=234288 and download the PFM, but you actually want to use the DBEditor that is included with PFM.

    Once you have the DBEditor downloaded and unzipped, pop it open, and then use the drop-down menu in the upper left.

    Find the listing units_tables\units, click it, then use the spreadsheet that appears. You want the column marked Unit_Limit. Change the number to whatever you want as a limit. "0" means unlimited. Click save when you're done with changes and voila!

    You don't ever want to mod vanilla files. Make a mod .pack with the units in it.

    Or just back up the data folder in ETW and save it somewhere else.

    Should probably do that anyways regardless of modding.

    It isn't that dangerous to mod it. If it gets ed up and you can't fix it, just delete it and use the "verify integrity of game cache" function in steam, and the vanilla file will be downloaded in 1-2-3 (if you have a decent net speed).

    Correct, I've found no need to create modded .pack files. The DBEditor will create auto back-ups of the original file, unless you tell it not to. Or as Mathias stated, just delete any modded file and verify the cache (which re-installs any missing "vanilla" files for those that don't know). Either way, it's not too complicated or dangerous to mess with

    @Everyone:
    You'll be happy you made a mod.pack if you do.

    Thanks guys for the response to my need for more elite unites. I kind of get how to do it, it's just I don't want to frig up my game with my lower than sub standard modding ability. Has anyone heard of a champion who's already got their hands dirty with this idea? To allow more than just the one elite unite to be recruited... anybody?...
