With the recent dev diary I was very much helping to see a change to custom/unique units such as banners, streltsy, cawa, etc. Right now the Cawa are in an okay spot in that you can mod their modifiers and rename them, but they're still locked behind a government reform and if you change their name to fit a nation, the other nations also share that name.
What I am asking for is this: let us create custom units just like these units.
Make it so we can enable these custom units via a flag, an estate privilege, or a government reform, or even something like can_use_this_unit = yes.
Make it so we can modify their background color, names, modifiers, how they're limited (such as banners/cossacks have limits by dev or special forces fl) and finally, and probably most important, let us create more than one.
For example, I am working on an alternate history mod. I want the Norse nations to be able to create "Berserker" custom units, which give shock damage. I want this to be tied to an estate privilege, and I want the amount you can make tied to your total FL. Unfortunately the best I can do is either cawa (tied to a government reform and not a privilege) or cossacks (can also make cavalry, which I don't want)
To be clear, I love the new moddability changes, many are much needed and very nice to have. Great job on that! This is just the one big thing I've wanted for ages.
