Creating a view game isnt hard using the commands for the .map files. If you have any kindof programming language, even a free basic, you can do it. Might even be able to do it in something like Word (isnt that semi-scriptable?)
for x = 1 to 1010
print "#commander "+x
next x

That does OK for me to find 1 unit for something. Special pretender not usually offered, a unit I want to snag the image of for a mod, looking at heroes or summons, compare stats.

Do the lists flag each unit for land or water, troop or commander? Thats where a list would be handy for me. Now that #terrain is part of the maps I would like to make the random generators smarter. Not put drowning units in the water and water-breathers on land.
