MOD: Global - 2, 5 or Unlimited Units Per Tile

[whoward69]

THREE mods to change the stacking limits to 2, 5 or unlimited units per tile.

(Unlimited is actually 99)

You can find these mods on the Mod Hub under Game Rules.

hello,
Is it possible to add some notification about current number of units in stack? Like in Civ4.

I went straight from Civ to Civ V

There is a pPlot:GetNumUnits() method and a pPlot:GetUnit(iIndex) method - between them you can certainly work out how many civilian/combat units there are in a stack - which you could probably add to the tooltip

I know how to check number of units at Plot but how to show it on UI. In Lua it is easy but UI modification is not so easy for me. Do you know any methods for dynamical manipulate units icons?

[whoward69]

Showing it is fairly easy (just add an offset to the unit flag's world anchor position depending on the unit's index on the plot), but the hard part is a) changing the rest of the UI to make stacks workable - and even if you manage that, b) changing the AI to be able to arrange troops sensibly for combat (which needs DLL access)

It's not an area I'm interested in so I've given it no deep thought, beyond the list of "problems needing solving".

The AI is really geared to 1UPT
