A couple of modding questions

[llamabeast]

Just realised I never said thanks for your help guys - so thanks for your help.

Oh, I have another:

5) Am I right in thinking that item modding is pretty limited? What I'm imagining is creating an item like the Wand of Wild Fire which casts a different spell instead. I'm guessing that both steps there are impossible.

And does anyone have any other thoughts on possible ways of making a commander start a battle with a retinue of a certain unit type?

Yes, item modding is extremely limited.

And no. There's some kind of option for that, but it isn't moddable (yet).

You could make a ranged weapon with a simliar ability to the spell you want.
