    Default single unit platoon on battlefield

    My will is to have a unit to deploy in the battlefied all alone, with no officers nor other soldiers around in his platoon.
    I searched the forums but did not find any thread about that, if there are some please point me there :)

    I know its possible 'cause in one mod I'm working on a lot (TW-LOTR) there is a unit which is working in the battlefield ALONE - precisely its Sauron.

    That's how - as long as i understand - the author weslana, made it:
    1. set the unit as chavarly in EDU
    2. set the soldiers for the EDU unit to a no-rider unit (sort of an invisible unit model)
    3. set sauron as a mount type
    4. added it in descr_mount (elephant category)
    5. set the numbers of mounts in that unit to 1

    Now, the puzzle: in the original TW-LOTR modded version it works fine, so in the battlefield you see Sauron all alone (originally no_custom but i removed the limit so I can also use it playing Mordor faction and it works).

    BUT when i try to add it to my own modded version of RTW the damn Sauron on the battlefied is a pair! I can't get if its a officer unit added by some hard coded limit in version 1.1 or if its a two-lines of soldiers. Nor i find anywhere to force no-officer or one single line of soldiers for such unit type.

    Either ways, I just can't get the sauron unit alone and its pretty frustrating :(

    Any hint?

    If it's the same model then it's unlikely to be an officer...

    Put the unit (as in the riders) size down to 6 and see if that helps...

    You must set the unit size setting to Normal. If you set it to Large you'd see 2 of them. And 4 in Huge setting.

    The only way to limit a unit size in any size is in scripted battle, where you can have 1-300.

    wlesmana, congatulations on finishing 2.0. It looks awesome.
