My units keep changing types for some reason
I am trying to play Darth Mod Empire, Late Era Start, Single Player Grand Campaign, everything is properly updated, I have verified local caches. But for some reasons my units keep changing; for example, I am playing as United States and I start with a Dragoons unit in the Carolinas, however within a couple of turns of starting the game - it miraculously becomes a unit of Light Dragoons. Another example from the same game, I had two Minuteman units in Albany New York, one suddenly became a Regular Line Infantry regiment. I would move the Line unit out of Albany, recruit another Minuteman unit and within two turns one of them again would change to a line infantry unit. What gives?
I have had artillery units change also from Horse Artillery to Field Artillery.
Someone please help.

could be the combo of installing a mod, which alters units, first, and then verifying the game cache later - which simply checks if all vanilla files are fine, so that could be the reason for this mix of darth + vanilla stuff

Hi sorry for the late reply - work...
I didn't verify the game cache during the game nor after starting the game. I merely started a new Late Era Grand Campaign Game of DME, and the problem consistently happens every time I play the late era grand campaign game of DME.
And this problem occured three times, each time I quit the game once I realized units were being altered. I verified the game cache after quitting the game for the third time, it said I needed to replace one file - which it downloaded and replaced.
I believe the problem is with DME late era game somehow, because this problem only exhibits itself when I am playing DME late era grand campaign game.

also happens in revenge of the minor factions mod

Having the same problem and it is getting incredibly annoying. In some cases units are disappearing from my army. Did you ever find a solution?

There is no solution, it is an issue with modified startpos that allows the late era to be played, all Mods that use this Startpos variation suffer from the same issue

it happens for me when playing DME Late Era starts; the one fix I have learned from someone here is to start my DME late are start game, then save the game, then start a new DME early era game slecting load game and selecting previously save late era game.

A way I found out how to fix it is to pick your country, immediately take your turn and then load your autosave and it shouldn't change your units, for some reason that works.

Yup this is the way thank you!

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
