Hello folks!
I'm trying to introduce a new "hero" type unit:
A player can only have 1 of these at any time, it is fairly strong with fancy promotions.
For good looks, I used the "EarlyGreatMerchant" unit formation, which puts the main unit up front, and 2 other units in the back. It looks okay, and it also works for combat.
(See picture below)
The only issue is that my "hero" dies first when attacked, because he's in the front row. I would like him to be the last man standing in the formation...
I had a look at the UnitFormations xml, but I don't really understand all the commands in it. I would like to change the formation, so that it is 2 units in the front and the "hero" unit in the back...
Does anyone know which command does what, and how you could make a new formation that uses the EarlyGreatMerchant, just the other way around - with 2 units up front and 1 in the back?
Here is the EarlyGreatMerchant unit formation from the UnitFormations.xml for reference:
Help would be greatly appreciated
