How do I add and delete units from a nation?

[Aezeal]

Hey Edi, maybe the manual should state which commands are for commanders only... I wasn't sure about the onebattlespell and now I think of it I've created units with shapeshifting.. they aren't easy to get and I haven't tested them yet.. but I fear my siege tank can't shapechange into siegemode at will... right?

just an idea .. maybe make some symbol for commander only commands and put that in the guide.

[Edi]

All commands that would require active direction from player (shapechange, makemonster etc) are only useful for commanders. If you GoR a unit with those abilities, then you can use them on the GoRed one. Everything else should work just fine with regular units, though I'm not certain about #onebattlespell. No reason that I can see why it wouldn't work, though.

[Edratman]

As far I know, non-commander units do not have magic.

When making the unit you can place the #onebattlespell command, but it should have no effect. When you GOR the unit, it may come into play.

One thing that will work (sort of) is to make the unit a recruitable unit and then make a spell to summon it as a commander. Or the reverse if you want.

[Sombre]

Onebattlespell doesn't work for non commanders afaik. This is because they can't cast spells, probably.

[Edratman]

WOW. Everyone jumped on this one simultaneously.

[Aezeal]

It seems like Edi's data base is a faster way to look up units. So I've been using that instead of doing shift + i.

I agree when I mod his DB is always open in the background

I am a fanatic when I get into games, but the passion and the dedication required to create something like that is simply mind-boggling.

Regardless, humanity benefits from such labors

[Edratman]

Like Aezeal said, ALWAYS.

I doubt if I could have even completed the first, most elementary one without it.

Epam, also send a thanks to Edi.

[Sombre]

As a sidenote, I very rarely use Edi's db. But when I do need to get certain obscure information, like the weapon ID for twin spear, it definitely does the trick.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

I also want to boost province test, so I wanted to see if I can change the Early Arco province defense to Hoplite (I moved them to EA) and Agema Companions (I moved them too).

So I put:

#selectnation 0
#defcom1 746
#defcom2 242
#defunit1 14
#defunit2 1553
#defmult1 4
#defmult2 4
#end

I thought the above cleared the default Early Arco province defense, but the result is that--while I do get the Hoplites and Agemas, and the new commanders are there too--the default province defense (that is, Cardaces, Slingers, and Peltasts, but no Myrmidons?) also seems to be around.
