Might I suggest that if you have other building in your village, that you make them the building that is tied to the peasant and guards production and leave the "GORAUS" building to only produce the city life aspect.

When you change the troops in the squad, then you must use the size formation that they use in the game. 45 for Calvary, 120 for muskets, etc. I am not sure why your riflemen do not form up. they should. Possibly something in the way you wrote the file.

I would try again, and experiment with other troops, or better yet place your file verbiage here and have one of the modders look at it and give you some advice.

I am afraid that there is no way that I am aware of to create troops from buildings other than in villages. But it is interesting idea, I will try some experiments and get back to you.

I've been using UnitEgrNG(EN) from the England.NDS file. This one is for Riflemen. Like I said, they do come out from the building but don't hold formation. I've also tried with only 15 men in village defense and still no cookie. I get the same result with an ordinary neutral village, where the primary building is from the SELFRA submenu. I have yet to try with other types of troops.

Regarding city life. I know I could just use neutral townspeople from the Britain unit submenu. One minus though is the probability of them getting killed by case shot. That way they can't be replaced if city life is off.

Anyway, I've attached a test version of the map. Check it out and tell me what you think.

I was not able to find any guard units other than the standard units.

All units formed up into 15 troop formations for me?

One question, are you selecting the peace time icon? For they will not form up unless peace time is turned off.

Daddio,

PS, great job on the marsh!

I must have forgotten to save the riflemen in this file. If you could just input the UnitEgrNG(EN) copid and see the result for yourself.

Yes, I have turned off peace time using the W button on the keyboard. Regular militia does make formation in all villages, neutral and for players 0 and 1. If I use regular militia in those 3 villages attached to the town they do make formation, only Riflemen don't.

What I wanted for this town was to have defenders of higher class than regular villages. Because it's a town and not a village. I can still use just neutral riflemen formations as town defenders, but then they won't get replaced when wiped out.

Glad you liked the map. Still some work to be done. I'm thinking of expanding the marsh just a little more over the road to the left; adding another food village in the upper right corner bellow that weird road curve; some wild animals;...

It looks sweet.

It actually is possible, but it involves modding a file in the Data folder and as such might not be advisable to do if you want to play online and cant be distributed within the map itself.

But if you want it so for your own pleasure while playing offline:

Go to Data\CityLife\CityPopulation.xml

You can open this file with wordpad or note pad.

It will first state the units that come out of the buildings and their characteristics and then further down you will see this::

Dom
GorFraDom1_1(GFR)
GorFraDom1_2(GFR)
GorFraDom1_3(GFR)
GorFraDom1_4(GFR)
....

This list states the buildings from which the villagers can come out off. So find the name off the building you don't want them to come out from and delete that line.

Nice map. Keep up the good work.
