duplicate option request

[aedwards at tripos.com]

Hey Rob!

How about an option or button to make
a duplicate of an already built unit?
I play a lot of WAB, and building large
armies with a lot of real similar looking
units is frustrating time consuming and error
prone.

Take the Republican Romans - at 5k my army has
10 exactly identitical units of hastati & principes
AND 5 triarii with 15 models per unit, and they all
have identitical equipment options. And I find I
have the exact same problems with greeks, madedonains,
persians, medievals, you name it.

A little button on the side, near the delete button,
that makes an exact copy of the currently selected unit
would be great. Personally I would also like to see
it copy over special names and descriptions too, so
if I wanted 10 units of pikemen from the same province
all I have to do is fill out the detail info once and
hit the dup button. It makes sense to me that if I wanted
10 identitical units of pike from different provinces
(thus differing only in the name) that I would build the
first unit, duplicate it 10 times, and THEN give them the
names.

I also have this sort of problem for any large scale
cookie-cutter game, even WFB and Warmaster so it isn't
just an ancients thing.


Thanks,


Tony

you can do that already, higlight the unit that you want, go up to
'Unit" and choose "Duplicate Unit".

Hi,

There's the menu option "duplicate unit".
