MAP: using specstart and #land
 

I used the #specstart command for a nation in my .map file, then later used the #land command to adjust the sites in the province and give it some commanders/troops.

Apparently, using the #land command kills off the Pretender. Is there a way to edit a province without killing the Pretender, or to assign the Pretender to that province in after the #land command?

I am editing the starting province of every nation, so they all start off without their pretenders. I'd really like to be able to fix this, is it possible?

Well, use the #land command BEFORE the pretender lines..
As for an example, try either the Arcoeye.map from the vanilla game or my http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif Undead Total War scenario.
I've done something resembling what you need : edit startspec for all nations + define a preset pretender for one nation. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Your mistake is using the #land instead of #setland, as #land clears the province - something you are most definitely not interested in.

An example of correct use (here used on Abysia in Orania Wars - Nasty Edition)

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">#specstart 0 208

#setland 208
#knownfeature &quot;The Steel Ovens&quot;
#knownfeature &quot;Orichalum Mine&quot;</pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">
