How to make 1 unit containing 1 soldier ?

[kungfuserge]

Sorry in advance for asking this here, but I don't know where to go...Does any one know how (teach) to make 1 unit containing 1 MAN (I know the minimum is 8) ; ......but I'm after the fight of the century....I have the texture and everything: but this scripting is far beyond my ability...
1) making a general
2 )Editing the unit and make the other units transparent (???)
3) Scripting so that they all die minus the general once on the field (??????)

I thought min was 6, not 8...

1) I think not even a general can be alone on the field, you must have a unit assigned to him.
2) The best option, but only visually. The invisible men will still be there, killing, being killed etc...
3) Can this be done???

Moved from the Scriptorium - would everyone please note not to post questions as new threads in the Scriptorium

Agreeing totally with Aradan's answer; including not knowing if 3) could be done. I think you can only run a battle script for a historic battle anyway...

Yes, it can be done, but by manually activating the script and there must be conditions applied to the unit to be "culled". It's too much of a pain in the ass, IMO, and a single man unit is not effective at anything much in RTW while taking up one slot in your army. Unless you make that unit uber deadly.

My idea is to make a video of Achillies vs Hektor, Zhuge Liang has made splendid Textures , just like in the Movie.
Actually, Achillies really look like Brad Pitt;
If anyone can help doing the script I have made the export_descr_unit and the descr_battle_unit but the the units made are 10 soldiers, (it works well)
I can send the tga + cas + unit #tga for both hektor and achillies ..

Is it possible to create/resscale a skeleton to scale 0.00001 (ok perhaps not *that* small)? So that you give the rest of the men this skeleton (apart from making them invisible). Being so small they will cover very small distances and it will be like the general is alone on the field, plus they will become virtually useless in combat. It's the closest thing I can think of to having a lone general, besides the script thing. Which btw must be a REAL pain if Wlesmana says so...
