I'm starting to understand the mindset it takes to make AB work
correctly, but I'm still having a couple of difficulties.
My files have a number of races, each with characters and units.
Each unit inherits type:Troops from a generic xUnit. Each character
inherits type:Character from a generic xChar. I'm trying to model a
couple of rule restrictions: first, an army can contain a non-racial
characters but must have at least one troop unit corresponding to the
same racial type for each character. An army can contain racial
characters at the rate of two racial characters per racial troop
unit. I had that covered with trat attributes.
Any character can lead a unit, whether of his own race or any other.
So I thought I'd use the list:xx*=Character attribute to accomplish
that. That works fine except for one little problem. Validation
reports non-racial characters commanding racial units as not
belonging to any valid composition class. I tried first to magnetize
children, but then the non-racial character seems to be treated as a
racial character. In fact, even a racial character doesn't count
toward the limit on characters.
I also tried assigning type:Character to the unit to reflect the
assignment of a character, but that doesn't validate correctly either.
I'm looking for something along the Clan War line where non-native
characters can command native troops (but without the CW oathing).
Just a hint in the right direction would be appreciated.
