Scripting Commander Units, Command Range, Bonuses

[jomni]

Are we able to implement commanders and assign a side's units to sub commanders? I was thinking of them having command range and has action point penalties for troops beyond commander range.

Also, can we implement BA-style bonuses? how flexible use the bonus system?

I just realized that the AI should also be programmed to take advantage of these rules else they will run around and lose the bonus from their assigbed organic commander. Probably difficult to implement.

I see there are TEAM scripts. Wonder how these work.

Not without extensive scripting.

Yep, that is one of the reasons why commanders are not implemented.

Hard to explain in detail. Your best bet is to look and see how they have been used in the historical scenario scripts. The AI scripting is normally in the StartTurnPost() function in the scenario script.

Yeah. This is a longshot and will be put in the back burner / wishlist.
