  I have moved this topic to general map making and xml editing, as the answer/solution is not map specific and could be helpful for other map projects. @Schulz I hope you get it to work

  @simon33 yea It's working now. I just didn't realize it had updated when it did. Usually took an admin to approve.

  @CrazyG But you may be able to use a trigger that controls ownership based on the Territory name... EG. Trigger a change on ownership of "OuterMongolia".

  @beelee and @Lincoln-Russell If you are working on Windows and editing an XML I might suggest NotePad++ . It is a much better tool.

  How to make a naval unit that can produce units?

  @CrazyG You could make a trigger for the ship that has the ability to make mines then have those ships automatically produce 1 invisible unit at the end of the NCM turn phase. Then you could make the purchasable mine unit consume the invisible unit. Then simply have all the (unused) invisible units removed from the map at the end of the current players turn. I think you could even deal with the invisible unit generation be handled by the unit attachment of "canProduceXUnits" instead of a trigger. But this is all just a suggestion. I have not tested any of this. So I am not sure what complications might arise.

  Does the "capitols.txt" file have any function? I moved the capitol for one of the factions in the XML file, but not in the "capitols.txt" file. No errors happen, and the new capitol seems to function correctly.

  @frostion @redrum Ok I got it. Manually editing the vc.txt file worked. But need to have it in the correct format. As shown, rather than name of image and coordinates, need name of territory and coordinates. For some reason, not sure exactly why, the mapmaker was not able to do this (in desired locations). Or maybe I just don't know how to. Germany (1159,383) United Kingdom (869,277) Eastern United States (223,496) Western Europe (979,416) Southern Europe (1088,673) Russia (1719,256) Karelia S.S.R. (1318,258) India (1931,917) Philipine Islands (2531,1001) Western United States (3493,443) Japan (2715,537) Kwantung (2412,805)

  I've looked most likely there is no way to get error message in the current version. Is there any way to detect mistakes of xml besides getting error messages. Also I have tried to download older version. Neither this nor old version did work when I downloaded the older one. So I did delete the older one.
