Thread: Changing number of unit ranks on battle map doesn't work

    Default Changing number of unit ranks on battle map doesn't work

    Need help changing the number of ranks for units on the battle map.

    As I understood it, the number of ranks should be the fifth number after "formation" (marked red below).
    However if I change it, the rank number doesn't change on the campaign map, even if I start a new campaign. Any ideas as to why?

    Also, I recognized that the rank number as stated in the EDU doesn't fit with the real rank number on the battle field.
    For instance Hastati really have 8 or 9 ranks or so on the battle map.
    Trarii and Tvrm Pes Rasna however should have same rank number (i.e. 4 ranks) according do EDU, but in battle Tvrm Pes Rasna really have 8 or 9 while Triarii indeed have 4.

    So what's going on here???

    Default Re: Changing number of unit ranks on battle map doesn't work

    So the only unit not having the approximate number of ranks stipulated in the EDU are the hastati? Might be connected to the rank distance value which is double the side-to-side value.

    Ok good point!
    The thing is, however, that even if I change the rank number to 2, nothing changes on the battle map...

    I am no expert in this but it might be that the two descr_formations files have an influence on that.
