Yes, you can create units in a masterfile, so if you want to play a random game with whatever units you like you can by selecting the masterfile that has those units.

Units can also be saved in a scenario, by not using a masterfile. Just go to settings then click Master, then click cancel. It will say master has been removed. This is a very flexible game/editor.

So If I'm doing this

"You have to go to settings and click on the masterfile button and then click OK without selecting any file. That will detach the default masterfile and allow you to edit everything. "

Can I then save the masterfile or only the scenario with new units? How do I save the masterfile?

When you go to save the scenario, when you have the save file name dialog up you give it a name, then right below that, click on the drop down arrow, and change the file type to a master file ...something.ptmaster I think is the format.

I've started a medieval scenario and mod, so far i've created pesants, horses, axemen, noble retinues and ships. pesants and horses are available at the start as they should be, axemen need research, and DO appear after the research is carried out, but the last two should be available from the start and aren't for some reason. I have set can produce to true for universals, so what else could i be doing wrong?

clean copy of the original

Presumably you mean a *cleaned out* copy of the original, which then becomes the basis for your scenario design until you change to a completely different era or area?

Will this tutorial work for changing random games or is there something different I need to do to make a change to a random game unit? Basically what I'd like to do is:

1. Change the name of the Super Heavy tank for the Germans to "SS Panzer"

2. Add a few new unit types such as marines, and maybe try self propelled artillery if I can.

Is it possible in the started game to do by events:
1. Create a new SFType (not only make it possible to build)?
2. Same but delete SFtype?
3. Modify SFType weight or carrying capacity?
4. Make some SFType disappear from the SFType list that a player can see in the game (when he chooses SFType to compare their stats)?

It will be good when at least one of those thing will be possible.
