What's your problem with the PDF doc ? It has a couple unupdated things (such as castle id list..) but I was able to do what I want in my map with it and a look at some existing scenarios (for "nation map modding" mainly).

Ask what you want to do, you'll get replies

Are the unit number lists available anywhere? It's a real ***** trying to assign some national units to indy provinces (such as Ulmish infantries) without having any idea of the id numbers.

Right now the best way is to download one of the unitview maps. Such as the one here http://home.earthlink.net/~adamschroeder/UnitView.zip

Then create new game with that map with only Pythium. Then you can look at each unit and get the ID numbers.

I'll compile a simple text list tonight that will list the unit number along with the name.

You can use the unit name instead of the id

Another method is that you can now see the numeric ID inside the game. Have a unit in the full view and hit... shift-I?
I find that quicker and easier to make a game and look if its specific nation-units that I need.

Thanks, guys!

The reason I'm asking is because I need the info to complete the Forgotten Realms map, which is almost ready, so the sooner I get that done, the sooner you people will have a new 424 province absolutely huge map to play with.
