It's a by product of the dragon. The way it is currently setup is the mage takes one slot the dragon the other. In the example of the Exalted Demon the unit is tagged twice in the taggroup window of ABCreator as Comp-Hero.

To get the asterisk, you need to remove the code that makes a dragon take a hero slot from the heDragos unit ID, and add a second tag in the taggroup window of ABCreator for Comp-Hero.

And no problem with the help, I just stumbled on the code in the profCore procedure in the genericstuff file, and figured out the correct tag to create an if then statement using the race as the criteria. I ripped it off the code for the Dwarf dispell dice calculations. Then it was a matter of getting the math right.

ok
1. im still not sure how to fix it to get the asterix.
2. however u said "you need to remove the code that makes a dragon take a hero slot from the heDragos unit ID, and add a second tag in the taggroup window of ABCreator for Comp-Hero"

if i do this it will stop the dragon counting as a hero slot. wont it? it says on page 93 that any dragon takes up a hero slot so whether its a prince or dragon mage or archmage they all take up an extra slot becuase of the dragon nothing to do with the fact its a dragon mage. sorry if im missing your point altogether but im not sure how to fix the problem anyhow

Absolutly correct, it's a matter of semantics, the dragonmage unit takes 2 slots. It doesn't really matter if the mage it 2 slots and the dragon is 0, or if they both are 1 a peice. It amounts to the same thing. Personally I say you leave it the way it is. But if the community it going to be thrown off by the lack of an asterisk, the solution is for the mage to take both slots and the dragon 0.

The major difference here is that the Prince and Archmage have the dragon as an option while the dragonmage is forced to take the dragon. Thus to anyone who doesn't realize how Army Builder allocates the dragon it may be misleading.

I think the solution is to include something in the design info like this "The Dragonmage is always mounted on a Sun Dragon, which takes up an additional hero slot." And leave the code alone.

ok was about to put another download up.

Although have noticed that the general tick boxes have disappeared in my high elf list but seem to be there for the rest of the armies.

Now im not sure if this is something i have done since the last update or something to do with the genericstuff.dat file update.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I believe this has been this way since the last HE book, because of the intrigue at court rule. I haven't found the reference yet...

Excellent work thus far, gents! One additional comment to this; these characters can only purchase Barded Steeds - there is no choice to have an unbarded steed.

I think I have found the problem with the lack of error message when we have more then 1 or no General. It stems from the coding in the Genericstuff file for the General rule. This code references a tag "HelperGlob.noGeneral". Removing this portion of the code fixes the problem, but it's good practice. The better way to fix the problem would be to find the code that make High Elves with this global helper tag, but thus far I have been unable to locate it.

Unfortunately my coding skills are pretty rudementary, I'm hoping a more skilled coder is able to find the offending tag, and remove it.

1. The minium start size of White Lions, Swordmasters and Phinoex Guard are 5 not 10
2. Star Lance have a rule that it's an Albion threasure item ... so if you turn the "No Albion.." rule, you cant select the Star Lance ... simple fix is just to remove that rule

3. Im pretty sure the BSB also can have a Shield .. because they are so elite

4. Great eagle Squad name is not correct.

The "first under Equals" Rule for the Core units does not seem to work.

Hello and thank you for creating the data files!

I have found a magic item error.

"Temakador's Gauntlets"
They are under magic armor, and are able to be combined with other armor. But if you select them the Light/Heavy/Dragon armor is grayed out. If you select the armor first it gives you a Red illgel list error.
