Is there a way to mod Single Units?

I want the ability to build single units back!

Would love to see the ability to promote units into hero's, is this possible?

Put this in the unittype: <AllowGrouping>0</AllowGrouping>

Units cannot be promoted to champions.

What file is this in?

 

Thanks!

Depends what unit you want to limit.

Edit: Oh, you want to be able to build single units in a city. I don't know if that is possible. Check out CoreUnitGroupingTypes.xml and what I posted above has nothing to do with that.

Can't find the file CoreUnitGroupingTypes.xml?

I don't want to change the core units, just build a medic (single unit).  I tried to upgrade the Pioneer (single unit) but doesn't work. The modding seems very limited if you can't even change little things like this.

In that case, in your new unittype use <AllowGrouping>0</AllowGrouping>

Have you made a new item? Or how are you trying to mod this in?

I created a new unit Healer, then when to C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\My Documents\My Games\Elemental\Units

 

Edited the file Healer_1155726780-6502.xml

 

Added <AllowGrouping>0</AllowGrouping> to the end of UnitType like below.

 

             <UnitType>          
.
.                ...
                <AllowGrouping>0</AllowGrouping>
        </UnitType>
  </UnitTypes>

 

Saved file, restarted the game and tried to build the unit Healer, and got more than one!

That's all I know, that's how the recruitable dragon works. Probably interfering with some other tag, you'll have to experiment.

Maybe check out pioneers since they are supposed to be single units.

When you upgrade pioneers, you get multiple units!

 

I'm going to try to add the custom unit I want to the CoreUnits.xml, to see if that works!
