some mod questions from a newbie

[Dakaar]

ahh great thanks ill look for his posts that sounds useful )

For the example i gave what i would have done there would be to remove the unit the mercenary uses from other places in the game, supstituting in a different one and altering the one used by the mercenery to what i wanted, the problem is from what i understand from turin is the mercenaries i alterered would still show up listed as the farstrikers, i couldnt change them to be called the paladins of Alyzia for example.

That is true, but as you cannot mod what units are recruitable from spesific poptype (independent types, including kngihts & longbowmen), you would have to remove every knight&longbow province...

There are still few mercenaries you can change, Brave Breakers and all those dark-brown/black colored mercenaries.
