I'm thinking I might put up a pdf somewhere with detailed screenshots showing you how to edit the stats. However I noticed that when selecting patch3.pack to edit, it shows patch2.pack as being currently edited. I just assumed patch3.pack was a new patch over patch2 but patch3 is 127mb while patch2 is 571mb so patch3 must not be a complete new patch overiding patch2. Anwway, I am saying that weirdly enough when selecting patch3 in the DBEditor to edit, it's actually patch2.pack that you are editing.
I think the difference between patch 2 and 3 is the new units through downloaded content as well as changes to previous units from patch 2. That's why I pull the patch 2 out of the data folder and put it on the desktop before I edit the patch 3 file.
Can someone help me i am a total newb lol how do i only edit units for the British? i've openned the patch3 file with dbeditor and looked through all the units but i can't see any units specific to british where am i going wrong?
Thanks in advance
In the patch 3 file and look for this line...
units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions_tables\units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions
It's right under units_tables\units
Click faction_IDRef on the top and it will alphabetically list them. After that, click on the availability arrow and select true. Now look for Britain... That's all the units that is exclusive in the game when you play as that faction. I would use the Prt Scr button and save it on paint, would be faster than copy/paste. Only use the true Britain as the false ones are used by other factions usually under a differ heading.
Now you need to go to the following tabs:
units_table\units
units_stats_naval_tables\unit_stats_naval
units_stats_land_tables\unit_stats_land
Edit the units accordingly and you should be set...
Remember to have the read only checked of and backups checked under the file tab on the top left of the editor. Revert back to this thread for any tips as on how to do it....
Thanks Gamejunkie125

I put a short tutorial on page 4 towards the bottom. I know m8tal has posted unit stats in this forum, I asked him the same question.
