In preparing for a mod I've planned, I was 'practicing' modding on the Napoleon scenario. Everything seemed OK, until suddenly, Britain started getting random cavalry units, like Sipahis and Cuirassers placed in their cities. I purge the odd units, and check around. Everything's looking good, and I start playtesting it. All's well until... I notice that the British are randomly spawning Sipahis. And that's not all. They're spawning in the sea! I go back to the editor, but I can't find anything. What's going on?!

are you sure to didnt mis reference graphic files?...is the unit some type of ship with the worng graphic? at any rate I dont know why they would "spawn" at all, please xplain where they are produced, how is a unit "spawned" inm the sea??? Sounds like a bigger glitch than the editor is capable of...

Do these ships have enslavement on, and are Sipahis listed in the enslave to list?
No, I checked that too. I'm going to play as Britain and see if it happens again, and if does, maybe I can find out what's happening.
EDIT: Great. Now, when I look at the editor again, it seems to be replacing Prussia's cuirassers with Grand Batteries. Sheesh, what's going on with my editor?!

Didi you delete a civ in the editor ?
Nope.
I only modded the MP version, so I looked back and checked the original, and it seems that the editor's replacing certain starting units with different ones. So far, here's what I've seen.
Britain:
Man-O-War => Sipahi
Household Cavalry => Cuirasser
Prussia:
Cuirasser => Grand Battery
France:
Voltiguer => Redcoat
Imperial Cavalry => Household Cavalry
Austria:
Hussar => Carrack
Russia:
Cossack => Ship of the Line
I'm looking for more, and I'll update when I've checked everything.
Update 1: Portugal, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Spain checked, no bugs.
Update 2: Seems to only effect UUs. Working on changing them.
Alright, checked every city. It appears that the UUs were being changed to the unit below them. For whatever reason. I also found the privateer's enslave unset. Maybe it was enslaving to Sipahis? I don't know. I'll playtest it later, hopefully it'll work.

How many units are in your mod? I had a similar problem a few years ago when trying to build an uber mod (Optimator). Once I hit several hundred units, I suddenly had cavalry running through the ocean and squid swimming through the desert. This was pre-Conquests. Never solved the problem, and in fact that (and the 1.5 GB mod size) is one of the main reasons I stopped development on it. Haven't seen it since, and assumed it was a bug that was later fixed, but maybe not. I am interested in seeing what you find.

Did you delete units before this started happening?

I probably did. This was 2-3 years ago. Sieg - did you?

At a wild guess, may you have disabled UUs in the scenario properties tab?Sieg said:
WeaselOp & Amesjustin: Yes, I did. Since I was working on the MP version, none of the minor coalition members, such as Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark and Naples were active. I changed that, but as a response, some of the British and French UUs were in areas they shouldn't be. So I deleted them, and replaced them with the correct unit.
The Last Conformist: No, I didn't. UUs still work.
Haven't been able to playtest, been busy. Might have to hold off.

When you delete units or buildings, wierd things happen. Don't do it. Just make units that you don't want, unavailable. The best thing to do at this point is probably start over. There are a lot of settings that could have been affected.

Well, as stated earlier, this was only for practice. I had no plans on releasing it or anything, so I'm not going to bother. Just start work on my mod, WWII: Liberation of France. Good thing I practiced now and found out what to do, instead of later and having to start work all over again, which would have been a pain in the @$$.

Yes I have lost 2 major projects due to experimentation. I keep Phoenix around on my box to try out new ideas for my "live" projects.
