Question: is changing units equip and weapon proficiencies safe ?

[Basti87]

Hello there,

I want to edit the Nord fraction and give them more archer units without changing the auto calculation results.

Editing items is no problem, but I'm not sure what will happen when I change their Weapon proficiencies stats.

I'm talking about 
A3 Nord Gesith > A4 Nord Hermadur > A5 Nord Heahgerefa > A6 Nord Ealdorman.
This tree is useless (no shields and only 10 throwing axes). I want to replace their throwing with bows and give them a shield.

Question:

For example, when I would just replace the 152 in Throwing proficiencies to archery and their old archery stat into throwing and also give them a shield...
would there be a difference in Auto calc battles when I just change their proficiencies and add a shield ?

Changing the equipment should be save-game compatible but changing their proficiencies is not.  You can edit their proficiencies with one of the save-game editors and it might work.
