Thanks Razz1.
Do you mean I should start GME and the editor togheter? I tried to have GME running when I start the editor, I then opened the scenario and added the units to the scenario but when I go into the game the campaign is the same as before..

just to be clear I would like to add a unit to the first scenario of the campaign, so when I start the campaign I also have that extra unit.

Does someone know how to do this? I would just like to add 1 unit to my core in the first scenario of the campaign, so I can play the campaign with that extra unit..

You have to open the map from this directory:

C:\Panzer Corps\Panzer Corps\MODS

It's a bit difficult for me to troubleshoot without knowing the exact steps you made, but I'm sure it can be made to work. It is a bit tricky because you mention using a mod that you are changing, so this complicates troubleshooting a bit. A couple of questions, I'm a bit direct if you don't mind:

What mod are you using and does it play without trouble? It could be that the mod uses custom campaign scenarios which are based on the originals, so are you 100% sure you are editing the right scenario?

Check if the mod is in the right folder, open up the editor and navigate to the proper scenario. I don't know what campaign you are trying to change, if it's NOT a GC than the 'Panzer Corps\MODS\*modname*\Data' folder should have the scenario you are trying to change.

In GME, if you change a mod while it is activated, it needs to be re-activated before the new content can be used. So if you mod an activated mod, you will need to start GME and de-activate it after changing/modding/saving things, and then re-activate it again, otherwise GME will not update properly and the game will load the older files. So refresh the content after you make a change.

If you have questions just post them, like I said I'm sure it can be made to work the way you want.
