Background Information
Before I explain my idea, let me give you a few drops of background so you can understand it [Amok, if you lose your sanity i am sorry
].
Atwar has ports right? naval units can only be recruited in ports right?
In the map editor we are allowed to "tag" a city as a port right? ok, now let me tell you my idea:
Allow map makers to create new "tags" and to assign "tags" to cities and units.
What will this do?
-A city with the port "tag" will be allowed to recruit units that can only be recruited in cities with the port "tag" [Naval Units and Custom Naval units]
-A city with the air base "tag" will be allowed to recruit units that can only be recruited in cities with the air base "tag" [Custom Air units, and Default Air units if the map maker edit them to require the air base "tag"]
How will this look?
Creating "Tags" will be just like creating a new country/unit
Assigning a "Tag" can either be simple stuff like checking/unchecking all the "tags" currently created in the map (the Port "tag" can be in maps by default)
Or it can be like this:
Then units can be assigned a tag, this is a default naval unit:
How will this benefit map makers and atwar?
This will take atwar map making to a completely new whole level, just to give you an example:
-Red (aka Rome) can recruit Roman units in his land, Red can only recruit Barbarian Mercenaries in Blue's Land (Aka Barbarians), Red can't recruit any units in Pink's Land
-Blue (Aka Barbarians) can recruit Barbarian Hordes in his land, Blue can only recruit Swordmen in Red's Land, Blue can't recruit any units in Pink's Land.
-Pink (Aka Huns) can only recruit Huns in his land, Pink can recruit "Alan Soldiers", "Visigoth Soldiers" , "Frank Soldiers" etc depending on which region he takes from Blue, Pink can only recruit "slaves" in any land he takes from Red.

I'm starting to think they broke map editor and it's never comming back.

Amok promised the map editor is 99.99% done and at the top of the priority list, so maybe we'll get it before the end of the century?

Things haven't been moving for a long time, because that 1% left is the really hard bit, and we could never find enough time/willpower to finish it. But now we have a dedicated programmer and things are really moving, yay! And btw, I love this thread's idea, I hope we'll get to implement it after the 'vanilla' editor is released.

Dude - your example already exists - when a mapmaker creates a map, you can set whether a player keeps the units they start with the whole game (German player building German units in conquered territories). It already exists. You're complaining about nothing. You need to talk to the map creator to ask them to change the setting.

UP I don't know if it's feasible, but it would be a really, really great feature. The current "Limit reinforcements to your own units" option isn't flexible enough
