Question.

First off, amazing mod, well done.

But how did you edit all the troops with the mod not breaking? Like on the French Commanders, there was 3, unlike on Napoleonic Wars there was only 1. I would really value this information.

Modding = Working with the module system (the core files)
Its basicly not using openBRF (thats just cosmetic so to say), but the code itself! You have to write code lines like this:

Quote
["british_infantry","1st Maryland Battalion","Volunteer Infantry",tf_guarantee_all,0,0,fac_britain,
   [itm_vol_pri1,itm_vol_pri2,itm_cs_vol_uniform3,itm_reb_lightbrown_pants,itm_fr_arty_train_bottefortes,itm_vmi_pants,itm_csa_vol_greyhat,itm_csa_vol_brownhat,itm_csa_hat_butter,itm_rus_chevalier_hat_officer,itm_austrian_musket,itm_british_baker_rifle,itm_bullets],

Well, I haven't been using the module system.

I have been using OpenBRF and Morgh's Editor and it's been going fine so far.

Morgh's Editor can only get you so far, you have to use the module system if you want to have full control over your mod, plus once you've got over the (very small) learning curve it's very quick and easy to make changes :P

I highly recommend you check out Will's quick modding tutorial on getting started with the module system over here.
Check out mods I've worked on: Blood and Iron: Age of Imperialism, and North and South!
