Hi all,

I would like to know if it is possible to remove the * for stats on Hive tyrant. I know this is fine to indicate that some of the unit has increased stats, but I'm talking about the Hive Tyrant. Only one so why the *. Is it posssible to apply the full number rule to single creature units, or can't the AB software do it?

TIA, Brian

I think the problem is that when you do remove the * from the
attacks people will attempt to use that number of attacks for the number of
shots they receive for the X weapons.

AB can do it, but the Hive Tyrant would need to be handled a little bit
differently from the other units in order to display its net effects
differently. This is a choice by the data file author to simply the effort
involved in writing the data files. By having the Hive Tyrant use the same
set of options/items/tweaks as the other units, the data file author
doesn't require any additional effort to support. The downside is that the
visible behavior is the same as the other units. This is a decision
entirely at the discretion of the data file author.

Thanks, Rob
