Re: Custom Battle Funds - Total War: Empire
If you can't afford full armies of elite units because of the limited funds, and if you can't increase the funds, maybe you could edit the cost of the elite units in custom battles, to make these units cheaper to recruit?
To do this, you would need Pack File Manager (or a similar modding tool), and you would need to know which DarthMod file contains the units_table (if that's the table which sets the cost of units in custom battles - I'd guess that it is, but I may be wrong).
