well it was more directed to gandalf who was more involved with this thread but in another thread he said it was possible to add new nations and place new units on a province DURING a game (by modding or editing mapfiles). His replies though are aiming at something different (also interesting no doubt about that, but I was already convinced by his previous posts that that would be possible ) and not at what actually asked (probably due to my too short posts and too brief explanations in broken english).

I know you can do farsummons have a few nice ones in my mods actually.. (no indep yet though but once I have enough nations for dom 3K I'll start on one of these to create more "volume" on the existing nations). On a different but related note: I'd be interested to know if you can do farsummons without making one of the units into a commander (since I've also added a commander (which in turn also gets a non commander of the same type)) I've asked this before though and the answers seemed to be that it was not possible (though I'm starting to think that it MUST be able to do commander summons without a troop of the same name) have to look into that better, probably need another effect number). For troop summons I think you always get a commander and it will only be differnt for the wolves, crows etc and that those links are hardcoded since they are certainly not in the modding manual (the spell guide seems to implicate this too)
