BL Coding How to replace unit item loadouts?

[X3KJ]

Hi, i would like to replace some sturgian unit loadouts, because i think they are vastly inferior to all the other factions.
So i made a module NPCCharacters file, with the relevant units changed. But when i load my module, the equipment loadouts seem to be added to the existing ones, instead of replacing them. How can i change that?

I've had the same problem. As a test I tried to give imerial recruits a mace and a shield. It spawned them in every possible combination of my gear and the vanilla ones. EG Some where had a mace and a shield, some had a sword and a shield, some had just a mace, some had just a sword.

My xm file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<NPCCharacters>
    <NPCCharacter id="imperial_recruit"
                default_group="Infantry"

One of the other mods that changes equipment seems to just create a new troop type: https://www.moddb.com/mods/shields-for-all/downloads/shieldsforall
