UNIT LIMIT IN THE UI RECRUITMENT QUEUE

UNIT LIMIT IN THE UI RECRUITMENT QUEUE

As you probably know I'm the creator of the "ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD" for Empire, Napoleon and Shogun 2.

Unfortunately I've discovered that the "city recruitment queue" has a limit. Some units aren't visible anymore in certain circumstances and therefore not recruitable. There isn't any scroll button like in Rome or MTW2.

The limit has been quite reached if you install any large "Unit Pack Mod".

Here are some screenshots of my late Great Britain campaign with AUM-ETW:

London recruitment queue

50 units = maximum in a city is quite reached
The 50th unit is only reachable if you try to move slowly from left to right across the unit icons.

I made again a post in the "TWC official bug thread" and linked it to this thread for further discussions.

Unfortunately there is no official comment from CA on all Empire websites and forums about this issue.

Please post your comments and opinions on the official CA thread too.

Here is the thread on the Official CA forum:
http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/60211

NAPOLEON:TW doesn't have a scroll bar in the recruitment queue.


SHOGUN 2:TW has a scroll bar in the recruitment queue. But there is no scroll bar in the custom battle and Avatar screen.

I unlocked several vanilla units and then I saw that the additional unlocked vanilla or custom units are hidden and not accessible if there are too many units.

Good that CA included a scroll bar in the recruitment queue of the campaign because it was highly missed in ETW/NTW.



But they didn't include a scroll bar in the custom battle or Avatar screen.



The unlocked Samurai Retainers are hidden on the right side of the Onna Bushi unit. It's possible to click on it. But if another unlocked or custom unit is added to the same row, then it can't be clicked anymore.

UNIT LIMIT IN THE UI RECRUITMENT QUEUE

Hello to all Empire-Modders,

as you probably know I'm the creator of the "ADDITIONAL UNITS MOD (AUM 1.7)"

Unfortunately I've recently discovered that the "city recruitment queue" has a limit of 38 units. The other units aren't visible anymore and therefore not recruitable. There isn't any scroll button like in Rome or MTW2.

Here are some screenshots of my late Great Britain campaign:

London recruitment queue

10 cavalry / 17 infantry / 8 artillery = 35 units

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Edinburgh recruitment queue

10 cavalry / 20 infantry / 8 artillery = 38 units = maximum in a city
But the 38th unit is only reachable if you try to move slowly from left to right across the unit icons.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

General on the campaign map recruitment queue

13 cavalry / 26 infantry / 11 artillery = 50 units = maximum not reached but soon

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Custom battle recruitment queue
13 cavalry / 21 infantry / 8 artillery = 42 units = maximum not reached

I will make a post in the "Official Bug Thread" and link it to this thread for further discussions.

I think we have to inform CA about this that they add a scroll button.

I will send a PM to a CA member and hope that this will be fixed.

I agree CA needs to be informed, and well done on the find mate!

I've sent yesterday a PM to a CA member and hope that this will be fixed.

I really hope they do fix it. You're units really are addicting and I wouldn't want to miss more of them due to the inability to integrate the scrolling technique.

Hello SCGavin, I really hope that they fix it with a scrolling technique too. I've sent two messages to "Thamis" and "Lusted".
Now we can just wait.

Well if we were able to edit the UI this wouldn't be a really big problem...

Sure that would solve the problem too

It had to happen sometime!!
25 - is maximum for line infantry!! this is really going to have an impact now to grow our armies!!!!!

[Swiss Halberdier]

Until now I didn't receive any answer by members of CA.

And in the "official daily patch update thread" the problem isn't adressed:

[SCGavin]

Still no progress?

[Swiss Halberdier]

Still no progress?

Unfortunately no answer and no progess until now... As soon as I become an answer I will post it here for sure.

Updated first post with new screenshots of my current recruitment queues in AUM 2.0.

[ToonTotalWar]

I am up to 29 infantry units in each of my Continental & British unit roster for custom battles!!

[Swiss Halberdier]

I added a new screenshot from applelover which shows 78 units in the "custom battle screen" from the combinated "Unit Pack Compatibility Project".

[l33tl4m3r]

Dear god they need a scroll bar!!!

[applelover]

Hell I haven't even upgraded to aum 2.1 yet

The new patch 1.3 has been released but it doesn't seem that CA fixed the "Unit Limit UI" problem.

No "scoll buttons" have been included.

I didn't receive any statement of the CA members that I've contacted until now.

I have to test it further and update my screenshots in the first post.

[Dogmeat]

some1 needs to tell CA to add a scroll button because then there is no limit to the number of DLC units they can flog to us,

that might work.

[A1_Unit]

Why are you complaining about the game's UI? I can't even use the buttons on Empire Total War's website!!!! They don't work! So much for contacting CA!

[Swiss Halberdier]

Hahaha... you're right Dogmeat!

I didn't receive any answer or comment on this issue from the CA members until now.

There is absolutely no comment on all Empire websites and forums too.

I try to inform a CA member again on this issue. I will post a new "bug-post" in the "Official Bug Forum" again too.

[alpaca]

I just posted a research thread in the tools & tutorials section about UI editing. I think we should be able to fix this once we understood how the UI files work and the decompiler is finished.
