Race specific rules - how?

[deathlynx]

Well, "rules" have a filter specifically designed for "rulesets"...the only other filter they use is "scope", so by making a master ruleset for each race you can apply "rules" to a single race (or multiples)...

the game rules carried in these units are info only as they do not require coding etc, i.e. Power of the waagh for orks relates to them regrouping during a game, and as such it does not need to be coded as an option or item but is helpful for new gamers to have on the print out as a reminder

For this sort of thing, couldn't you use the 'Output notes' of the race
record? Whatever is included there gets added to the printout.

Hhehehehhahahahahahahehhehohohohoho That would require that we actually knew about that feature. Gonna have to play with that one.........


*edit*
Just realized though. Is that configurable as to whether or not it prints? Not all people want that info printing.

As warmonger said the option to be able to switch these off via a ruleset or script (allowing ruleset control) would make this extremely useful. However it wouldnt meet the requirements for races like necrons which needs calculations in there etc, it would also mean adaptions to the def file which after a couple of earlier probs we tend to try and avoid altering as part of a race specific patch.

OK, we figured out how we'll be addressing these issues. So you should have
a "proper" solution to these issues soon that can replace the improvised
solutions you have already come up with.
