Way to generate a list of Army Lists from the game folder?
Posted: Mon Aug 17, 2015 4:57 am
I have an ongoing campaign which I started using the "Pike and Shot Campaign" option, selected the Anti-Imperial player side, then picked my own and the enemy army lists. Today I wondered how many options there might be for the army lists so I started a new campaign, used the same settings but clicked the right arrow on the Own Army List box and started counting. I think I counted sixty different entries 
. And then I wondered just how many options there might be for the enemy army list if I turned off the "Filter Army List" button and started clicking through that one. I think I counted ninety-nine different Imperial army lists . (UPDATE: I noticed that the store page mentions 117 army lists, so I'm assuming that some army lists show up in both places). If my counting is correct (and it's past one in the morning so I wouldn't place money on it) that means there's a total of 5,940 different combinations that could be tried.
I was poking around in the game folder looking for some kind of listing but didn't see it, or wasn't wise enough to find it or figure out how to generate it. So I'm wondering, is there some way to pull this info from the game folder, just so I can look at it? I'm sure that the developers have this list somewhere (and if they would like to post it that would be nice) but the list would be out of date if the game is updated or modded, so I was just wondering if the army list, err, list can be pulled from the game data itself.
