Is there a way to display factional units only in custom battles?

[putoconcarne]

Okay, first off, to avoid any misunderstandings, I'm not having the usual problem of not seeing Roman units in the unit roster when playing as Rome in a custom battle. I have read the FAQ, I have installed the EBTrivialScript, and I use the EB Multiplayer shortcut.

I'm also not sure if this issue has been raised in that past, since all I get from search are the posts about aforementioned missing units in certain factions, so forgive me if this thread is unnecessary.

So anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to make it so that you can choose factional/local units only when playing a custom battle, like in Vanilla RTW? Personally, I find that there are just too many units to choose from, and some of them seem to be out-of-place like Ethiopian Spearmen (IIRC, but I'm not sure) for the Romani. I know that a lot of people like it that way, but I prefer a smaller roster of local units only and maybe in the case of the Romans, some allied and mercenary forces.

If there is a way though, I would really like it if it doesn't involve manually editing files for my part as I feel like I'm just gonna screw everything up.

You'll need to manually change the mp-edu (export_descr_units.txt) and then edit the ownership of each unit.

why didnt you just put in factional custom battles?

It makes no sence

Yay! another thread necro-ed

Anyways I think the edus are different. If you run the "Play Multiplayer" shortcut i replaces the edu with the mp one. vice versa
If you installed the trivial script you'll get this EB config and you can select from many different options from there.

I'm probably making the necroing of this thread worse, but to clear things up:

My original question wasn't about the usual problem of screwed up unit rosters in custom battles because of not installing EBTrivialScript or using the appropriate unit EDU. I have read the FAQ and I am able to play the mod the way the developers meant it to be played.

What I was actually asking for was a way to show only homeland (I think this was the term I was looking for) and faction-specific units in custom battles so that my unit roster isn't crowded with foreign levies and mercenaries. I wanted my unit rosters to look like the ones in the unmodded RTW where Rome, for example, could only field Roman units in custom battles. At the moment, I think the Lusotannan unit roster is like this...

Anyway, Foot said that I have to manually edit the EDUs to do that but since that sounds like way too much effort for me, I just make do with what I have.

That's why you launch EB with the Multiplayer shortcut or using the EB config application to select multiplayer if you want to play EB in custom battle with the correct unit roster for each faction.
