Hi all,

I've been trying to create a custom mercenary unit - I'm well versed in adding units to factions but this has proven difficult. Editing the various mercenary-related db files does nothing, but I've discovered and seen elsewhere that by editing startpos.esf you can add individual units to regions (and presumably factions - I've not tried). I created my unit and assigned it to media atropatene, because it's the first entry in the provinces array. All seemed well:

But trying to recruit them recruited the persian brigade instead, and trying after that did absolutely nothing. I added the unit the the ERE's custom battle roster to make sure everything was set up right and it is, it's just not recruitable as a mercenary in the campaign.

Has anybody solved this problem before? Any ideas as to how I might go about it? I've attached the .pack file if anybody wants to have a go at it. I'd appreciate it.tao_ethnic_merceneries.rar
