Okay I am having some issues adding units aka divisions, ships and planes etc...to the starting setup of any nation. For example, I would like to had three more divisions for say France to have at the start of the game but I am having no luck in getting them to show up.

Could someone please give me a walk through on how to do this?

Thanks!
 
well the principle is simple, you copy one of the land/ air whatever units, change the IDs and names and thats it.

eg i duplicated an Omani division:

landunit =
{ id = { type = 11114 id = 1 }
name = "Royal Omani Army"
location = 1819
division =
{ id = { type = 11114 id = 2 }
name = "Royal Omani Army"
type = cavalry
strength = 15
}
}
landunit =
{ id = { type = 11114 id = 3 }
name = "Royal Omani Army 2"
location = 1819
division =
{ id = { type = 11114 id = 4 }
name = "Royal Omani Army 2"
type = cavalry
strength = 15
}
}
}

what need (just technically) is different ID numbers, the rest like the name of division or Corps is flavour.
"type" is uniqe in each nation, so the 11114 is always Oman 1936 (didnt check the other scenarios, though)
 
Okay so I just need to pick a nation, look at their ID code, then fill in the fluff/flavor and change the code to stay in numerical order and then go from there?
