How to disband individual troops from a unit?

**PNR Blaster** · February 16, 2008, 08:55 AM

It is possible/ how can i do for during a campaign disband individual soldiers from a unit?

Example: I play with Portugal and during the campaign i have a unit with 21 mailed knights, how can i do to disband only 1 soldier?

I make this question because if this is possible i think hotseat campaigns with battles human vs human can be possible

If this is possible, I'll eat my own hat. Never say never, but I highly (99.99%) think this is not possible.

Its not, and why would you want to??

You can do reduce_unit_strength and use a percentage, but I doubt you can get it that precise, and since it would be scripted you wouldnt know the unit size before the trigger fired anyways.

I don't understand nothing about mods, and scripts, etc..
was just some fille that allow disband some soldiers in game or out game, it seems easy i think when we compared with other modifications that modders already do...

There isnt a command for it, you cant just write a command that the .exe doesnt recognize.

reduce_unit_strength freezes the game, last I tried it. Does it actually work? And how?

I have used reduce_unit_strength and it worked fine for me. It simply reduces the overall numbers of men in the unit by a percentage. But it will reduce every unit of the same type (eg, all levy spearmen) by that percentage. I have not tried using the script on the battle field as its results may be slightly different to that of the campaign map.

Grrr frustrating. The campaign map doesn't help:

I want to try and make a one-on-one battle as an introduction to a historical battle I'm scripting, and there are a whole bunch o'problems.

The minimum number of units per stack I'm able to reach is 4 without getting a CTD (bummer #1), so in a flash of inspiration I thought that this command would be a good one to use to kill the other 3.

Aaaand it doesn't work.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? How did you write it exactly?
