As I’m almost ready to release the second version of the 'Age of Reason' mod, I noticed that when setting up skirmish battles on 'very large', there is no possibility to customize the armies, since all units are automatically pre-assigned (which doesn’t happen with other battle sizes).
This is strange because, when setting up the various armies in the armylist.txt file, I used minimum and maximum unit numbers similar to those found, for example, in the same file for the 'Le Roi Soleil' campaign, and the unit costs are essentially the same.
Does anyone have any suggestions to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance!
P.S.
If useful down here there is the list of an army that presents the problem:

IDS_ARMY_EXK_SPANISH

Re: Army customization not working
It's not strange at all. This is what happens when the total points value of the maximum units available in the list does not greatly exceed 2500 points. So you solve the issue by increasing all the unit maximums. It's probably best to do it all in proportion, so try increasing them all by 25% and then test it. Increase it again if it is still not to your liking.Lysimachos wrote: ↑Sun May 11, 2025 9:20 pm As I’m almost ready to release the second version of the 'Age of Reason' mod, I noticed that when setting up skirmish battles on 'very large', there is no possibility to customize the armies, since all units are automatically pre-assigned (which doesn’t happen with other battle sizes).
