The BareBones EDU is a modders resource recommended for experienced modders.
The BareBones EDU is the export_descr_unit.txt, that has been stripped to the bare minimum, without losing any usable entries from the grand campaign. There are 368 entries left.
The entries for Aztecs, Normans and Saxons have all been deleted, as well as the named generals from the Norman Prologue.
These units have also been deleted, see spoiler:
This file is ment as a base for modders who are no longer using the Americas and are more than likely expanding eastwards!
The attatched file contains:
These files will just leave your descr_strat.txt to modify if any deleted units were present. Descr_mercenaries.txt and descr_regions.txt will also need to be modified, as they refer to native rebels and native mercs from america.
It appears the export_descr_buildings.txt has some other alterations in it too, higher costs for buildings, im sorry i cant do anything about this as that is a modified vanilla file and i cant find a back-up. You can rectify this by enabling Mounted Longbowmen and Armored Sergeants in your edb aswell as deleting all entries for the Aztecs, Normans and Saxons.
DO NOT OVERWRITE ANY VANILLA FILES PLEASE!
THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO EXTRACT THEM TO DESKTOP, UNLESS YOUR MOD PROJECT CAN SUPPORT FILES WHERE THE AZTECS, NORMANS AND SAXONS ARE NO LONGER PRESENT.
Feedback welcome, please tell me if something has been missed!
Rep me if you use it!

Edit: I have now included export_descr_character_traits.txt, with aztec entries deleted.
Edit: I have removed the descr_mercenaries.txt, it had references to the americas in it and was not needed either!
Edit: The main rar now includes a descr_character.txt file, with aztec, norman and saxon entries deleted.
