    Default Way to limit amount of units?

    Hey, I was wondering if there's a way to limit the amount of Kensai, Battlefield Ninja and Geisha during the game? I want some sort of maximum limit for them, would that be possible?
    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

    Hello Wasp,

    STW has files that influence the factions choice to build structures (required to recruit). building_choice.txt

    There ara also files like anti_units.txt (is supposed to influence the battleAI) and opp_invasion_thresholds.txt/major_invasion_thresholds.txt.

    I'm not sure they actually work at all and it will only influence the preference at best, not hard limit.

    DOC aka Jambo did some work on these things to improve the campaign, he got some feedback from a CA developer (Target?) about how things worked. The topic(s) are still in the Dojo forum. I'll post the link when I find it.

    Interesting, I'll look into those and see if I can get some results. An AI preference would be enough I think, since I can just pretend a limit for myself.

    If you find those links I'd be happy to see them. Thanks already for the help, TosaInu!

    Should be very helpful, thanks a lot! It'll take me some time to get through it all, though, but that's alright - means more insight in the game!

    For those interested, this thread has a good bulk of information about the files. Just thought I posted it for quick reference.
