Woohoo! Runs great!

Another thing, if i want only UU avaiable i have to write all the units types and say - false - for the generic...
that takes me to another idea mercenaries (UU units for planned use) and auxilares ( generic units for emergency use, like draft diferent units, diferrents %s). Any chance implement that.
And another thing, i have donwload Paasky ww2 scenario and the idea of resistor is great, can this be made in a MODCOMP, can it presuad you....
Sorry im boring you, but the mercenaries mod is realy great and enthusiast. great job

Yep, that is correct. I did it this way since it was more likely that people would want to exclude only a small amount of units.Portus said:right

Do you mean making mercenary unique units? I guess I don't understand what you are talking about here.Portus said:
You might want to ask Paasky to turn it into a modcomp. If that doesn't work then send me a PM, let me know and I'll add it to my todo list.Portus said:And another thing, i have donwload Paasky ww2 scenario and the idea of resistor is great, can this be made in a MODCOMP, can it presuad you....
No, you are not boring me. I appreciate all feedback, no matter how big or small, it is all valuable to me.Portus said:
TheLopez said:
well maybe you refening in "Future features" that idea, when you talk in groups.
I was thinking distinguish Mercenaries for UU units (special units), like for example the Carthagians in their army, and Auxiliars to the generic units,like the Romans with latin peoples, i.e. 2 individual attributes for cost, maintenance and promotions,for 2 distint groups, in that case one for the UUs and another for generic.
that way i can set hight % for ones and low% for others

Im affraid it is not working, i have set some generic units false ( worrior, archer, chariot, but i still have them to contract, and the AI have contract out some of that units building for me

You are causing me to not sleep! hehe.
I am not very good at this game. I use this mod, and for some reason the other computers cannot seem to keep up with me tech wise (I think they are spending some of their money on the mercs, or must be saving up to buy one, or must be cheating and buying one off the bat though they would not have the gold). I love having the ability to use multiple UU's, really is cool! There might be some issues though. At the next turn when I check the Merc Screen, they cost sooooo much. Every now and then there will be a merc that cost really low with a zero upkeep (these are mercs that start at level zero). I have noticed that over the ages the minimum upkeep costs seem to advance by 1 increment.
Is there a setting that I can tell it to always have upkeep costs be greater than zero?
Is there a setting that I can tell it to always make a unit level to always be greater than zero?
Is there a setting that I can tell it to sort by hire costs?
Is there a setting that I can tell it to sort by upkeep costs?
Is there a setting that I can tell it to sort merc type?
In your configuration you can change a setting equal to true which will cause the merc screen to show up at the start of every turn.
Is there a setting that I can tell it to show up at the start of next turn if condition X, Y, or Z is met?
This is just killing me now. I am having to constantly scroll up and down looking for cheap mercs, or ones that I am interested in. (I do this EVERY turn for fear I will miss someone!) Maybe a hide this merc permanently checkbox or something. At the start of the game some of these units will never be affordable at level 7 Axeman, by the time I can hire him, I will instead hire a Maceman.
I am guessing that as I learn new technology, that new mercs then become enabled. It has really become useful to hire a merc that I cannot create since I lack horses. Do these same mercs become enabled for all computers too? (Maybe I should not spend 100% on science at times so they do not benefit from me)
Ok now for the biggie. I now refuse to play without this mod of yours. But I want to try your Sniper mod. I cannot seem to find a place that tells a simpleton like me how to merge the two. Can I cut and paste with notepad?
Ok you created this mess I am in, now fix it. just kidding!
Now I will have to keep checking this board for a reply! Guess I will never sleep now! hehe
your mind numbed robot awaiting your next command.
You are causing me to not sleep! hehe.
I am not very good at this game. I use this mod, and for some reason the other computers cannot seem to keep up with me tech wise (I think they are spending some of their money on the mercs, or must be saving up to buy one, or must be cheating and buying one off the bat though they would not have the gold). I love having the ability to use multiple UU's, really is cool! There might be some issues though. At the next turn when I check the Merc Screen, they cost sooooo much. Every now and then there will be a merc that cost really low with a zero upkeep (these are mercs that start at level zero). I have noticed that over the ages the minimum upkeep costs seem to advance by 1 increment.
Is there a setting that I can tell it to always have upkeep costs be greater than zero?
Is there a setting that I can tell it to always make a unit level to always be greater than zero?
Is there a setting that I can tell it to sort by hire costs?

In your configuration you can change a setting equal to true which will cause the merc screen to show up at the start of every turn.
Is there a setting that I can tell it to show up at the start of next turn if condition X, Y, or Z is met?
This is just killing me now. I am having to constantly scroll up and down looking for cheap mercs, or ones that I am interested in. (I do this EVERY turn for fear I will miss someone!) Maybe a hide this merc permanently checkbox or something. At the start of the game some of these units will never be affordable at level 7 Axeman, by the time I can hire him, I will instead hire a Maceman.
I am guessing that as I learn new technology, that new mercs then become enabled. It has really become useful to hire a merc that I cannot create since I lack horses. Do these same mercs become enabled for all computers too? (Maybe I should not spend 100% on science at times so they do not benefit from me)
Ok now for the biggie. I now refuse to play without this mod of yours. But I want to try your Sniper mod. I cannot seem to find a place that tells a simpleton like me how to merge the two. Can I cut and paste with notepad?
Ok you created this mess I am in, now fix it. just kidding!
Now I will have to keep checking this board for a reply! Guess I will never sleep now! hehe
your mind numbed robot awaiting your next command.
No, not really but you can tinker with the "Maintenance Cost Modifier" or "Mercenary Promotion Chance" configuration options. Maybe set the "Mercenary Promotion Chance" to 30 or 40.Shownuff! said:

No to all of these, I'll add them to my future features list.Shownuff! said:
No, but what are the X, Y and Z conditions that you are talking about?Shownuff! said:
Well you can always use the configuration options to make hiring mercenaries cheaper if you want.Shownuff! said:
Yes, the mercenary pool is global... for the time being.Shownuff! said:
Not to worry, I am currently working on a composite mod that will include most if not all of my mod components: the Great Options Mod!!!Shownuff! said:
I am making great progress on it and the first version of it should be out to testers next week... maybe.
