Hey, I'd love it if you could make the battlefield view of the settlement (the option in the details section of a settlement) much more detailed, instead of having just two types of people roaming around randomly. I've always wanted to observe a settlement going about its daily business, with garrison patrols marching around the streets, trade wagons moving in and out of the gates, sentries on the walls, soldiers drilling in the town square, and citizens wandering around the markets. Would any of this be possible? Or is it either too late to do now, or just completely hard coded?

I too really enjoy the settlement view, but from what I understand it may actually be less detailed, as EB had to use the 'citizen' model to make proper units.

In the meantime, I suggest that you download the Mundus Magnus map, as it tries to introduce a much more varied city, with garrison soldiers and pigs and dogs and foreign diplomats roaming the streets. They still just wander aimlessly though, i dont think it's possible to make people actually go places like they have a purpose.

Until we learned about model limit, we had all sorts of ideas regarding people walking about in city view. Sadly, it is now impossible. I'm afraid we can't spare any unit models for 'civilians'...

Ah, unfortunate, thanks for letting me know.
