Subject: Re: Help wanted on how to do non linear point costs.
Have you tried setting the # of elements using options? ie, 4 elements
would be the base cost, option1 would make it 5 elements for x points,
option2 would make it 6 elements for y points, etc?

Subject: Re: Composition Rule Sets
Check out the ABCTutor.rft file, and specifically the 'Composition Rules'
section. This explains the format of composition rules.
Now, the 'xbrk' is a racial special attribute that allows you to create
alternate composition rule sets (ie, rule sets that are different from the
standard 'Composition Group Rules' that is defined in the Race tab. If
you open the file cr.wf6 in abcreator and look in the Augmentation tab,
you'll see a lot of augmentations listed along the left ("Race: xx").
The xx means that all of these augmentations are applied to all races
(which is what you want to do). If you look at the 4th augmentation from
the top, you'll see the 7 Knights and <2000pt composition rule sets. For
your own rule set, you can either add it to this list by adding a new xbrk
statement, or you could create an entirely new augmentation.
What specifically did you want to change for your composition rule set?

Subject: Re: Composition Rule Sets
Thanks, I've looked through that file umpteen times and missed it
every time.
The rules are as follows :
1 hero only
at least 1 core
between 2 and 4 units of core/special/rare total
no more than 1 special OR rare total
no single model > 125points
There are a couple of others but I don't think ABuilder will cope as
they're VERY specific.
I'll have a bash now - if there are any really important tips you
can give, then fire away.

These are both doable.

You will probably need to use ulmt for this, which is another racial
attribute that you can put in the same augmentation as your composition
rule set. There is more info inside ABCreator, just add a new attribute
and click on ulmt on the left and it should tell you all you need to know.
> no more than 1 special OR rare total
Same as above.

ulmt should work here too.

You never know 'til you try (or ask this group).

Done, but how do I make it apply only when my ruleset is being used?

I've limited special and rare to 1, but I want them to be mutually

OK, special cases where you have two-for-one slots (gobbo spear
chuckas and the like) - I want to remove the discount. I'd also like
to limit the army to one chariot.
Thanks for your help.

If you're making a new type of army list (like I did with Warhammer
Skirmish), you can add the -mode= qualifier on the end of the ulmt
statement so that it will only apply when users are using your special
list. The problem with this is users won't be able to use special units
that are only available in specific appendix armies (such as City Guard
for Dark Elves) unless you make them available in your special list.
> > > no more than 1 special OR rare total

This should do it:
ulmt:comp=Spec,Rare-max@unit=1
again, if you want to create a special army list mode, add the
-mode=<your-list-acronym> to the end
> OK, special cases where you have two-for-one slots (gobbo spear
> chuckas and the like) - I want to remove the discount.
So that they don't get one for free? You'd have to remove the ability for
each unit to take a second for free, ie go into each unit and delete the
option link for "Free Choice" and changing the unit sizes from 1:2 to just
1.
> I'd also like
> to limit the army to one chariot.
Again, no really easy way to do this. If you really wanted to, you could
add a type:chariot to all of the chariot units, and then add a tlmt:
restriction to your generic race augmentation (same place you're doing the
xbrk/ulmt things).
This is a fair bit of work to do, though, especially since you'll have to
pretty much re-do it each time the wf6 files get updated. It's probably a
lot easier just to let your group know 'one chariot max.

I thought of doing it this way - Appendix lists aren't being used,
so thats not a problem.
> This should do it:
> ulmt:comp=Spec,Rare-max@unit=1
Yeah I'd got that, but I'm still in moderation for this list so its
taking a few hours for my posts to appear.
> lot easier just to let your group know 'one chariot max.
Thats what I thought (and why I said it was probably too specific to
do in AB easily).
I've got most of the limits in place and working (although they're
working all the time and not just when my ruleset is selected) and
thats going to take a lot of work out of the army list verification
process. I'll keep at it and see if I can get any more of them
working but I'm happy that what I've got has saved some work. Thanks
again for all the help.

Subject: Re: Composition Rule Sets
Thanks, I've looked through that file umpteen times and missed it
every time.
The rules are as follows :
1 hero only
at least 1 core
between 2 and 4 units of core/special/rare total
no more than 1 special OR rare total
no single model > 125points
There are a couple of others but I don't think ABuilder will cope as
they're VERY specific.
I'll have a bash now - if there are any really important tips you
can give, then fire away.

These are both doable.

You will probably need to use ulmt for this, which is another racial
attribute that you can put in the same augmentation as your composition
rule set. There is more info inside ABCreator, just add a new attribute
and click on ulmt on the left and it should tell you all you need to know.
> no more than 1 special OR rare total
Same as above.
> no single model > 125points
ulmt should work here too.

You never know 'til you try (or ask this group).

Done, but how do I make it apply only when my ruleset is being used?

I've limited special and rare to 1, but I want them to be mutually
exclusive.

OK, special cases where you have two-for-one slots (gobbo spear
chuckas and the like) - I want to remove the discount. I'd also like
to limit the army to one chariot.
Thanks for your help.

If you're making a new type of army list (like I did with Warhammer
Skirmish), you can add the -mode= qualifier on the end of the ulmt
statement so that it will only apply when users are using your special
list. The problem with this is users won't be able to use special units
that are only available in specific appendix armies (such as City Guard
for Dark Elves) unless you make them available in your special list.

This should do it:
ulmt:comp=Spec,Rare-max@unit=1
again, if you want to create a special army list mode, add the
-mode=<your-list-acronym> to the end
> OK, special cases where you have two-for-one slots (gobbo spear

So that they don't get one for free? You'd have to remove the ability for
each unit to take a second for free, ie go into each unit and delete the
option link for "Free Choice" and changing the unit sizes from 1:2 to just
1.
> I'd also like

Again, no really easy way to do this. If you really wanted to, you could
add a type:chariot to all of the chariot units, and then add a tlmt:
restriction to your generic race augmentation (same place you're doing the
xbrk/ulmt things).
This is a fair bit of work to do, though, especially since you'll have to
pretty much re-do it each time the wf6 files get updated. It's probably a
lot easier just to let your group know 'one chariot max.

I thought of doing it this way - Appendix lists aren't being used,
so thats not a problem.
> This should do it:

Yeah I'd got that, but I'm still in moderation for this list so its
taking a few hours for my posts to appear.
> lot easier just to let your group know 'one chariot max.
Thats what I thought (and why I said it was probably too specific to
do in AB easily).
I've got most of the limits in place and working (although they're
working all the time and not just when my ruleset is selected) and
thats going to take a lot of work out of the army list verification
process. I'll keep at it and see if I can get any more of them
working but I'm happy that what I've got has saved some work. Thanks
again for all the help.
