Formations

[brill852]

I am trying to create a mod that requires infantry in a square to be ranked up. I have poked around the different game files and read the engine documentation but can't figure out if this is possible. Does anyone know how I might force a square of infantry to rank up and how many individual models I can tell the engine to place on a tile?

I am not familiar with your terminology. Maybe you could explain more. The number of men that you see in a squad is a column on the csv.

Unfortunately the logic for positioning men in units with >1 member is in the code. It spreads them around in a rough diamond/circle. The max number of men in a squad is currently 8.

I'm guessing you are looking at a more melee type mod? I will add data control for the formations to my todo list.

Cheers

Thanks Pip! Yeah, having raged formations for a melee type mod is what I was thinking, but it would also be nice to be able to rank everyone up in two lines, one in front of the other, like Napoleonic formations. Thanks for the info and getting me on the list.
