Zero upkeep bug in new startpos

1. hi chaps, I have in my possession a new startpos for TLR with unlocked factions (built by someone else). One of the factions, the Basques, has 2 starting armies but they don't charge upkeep for the units. Newly recruited units and mercs have no upkeep too. When I recruit whole new stacks, this problem is gone. It's just the starting armies. Also when I switch generals the problem remains. Doesn't affect the armies of the other unlocked factions.

So can I fix this in PFM somehow? I just can't get the AK to cooperate, so that's kind of not an option for me.

2. Does custom battles have to be enabled in the startpos for these unlocked factions? I can't get them to unlock in the factions_tables in PFM.
