unit sizes

[aedwards at tripos.com]

Datafile question #2:

There are two types of slingers - scrubs and elite.
Only one unit of elite slings allowed - easy. But
that unit must also be smaller than any srub unit of
slings.

Any good ideas how to implement this in a data file?
I noticed the creator of the Greek Hoplite army list
skipped implementing that option for the Sacred Band
in the WAB lists.

Too keep our lives fun, the new army lists I'm making
AB files for have a number of this sort of thing in them.


Thanks

Tony

PS Thanks Mathias - that was a big help.

You'll need to use the "reqd" external unit attribute. Assign this
attribute to the scrub slingers unit and stipulate that the MODEL ratio of
the scrubs to elites must be greater-or-equal than 1:1. This should
establish a ratio between each scrubs unit and any existing elite unit. It
will only fail if a given scrubs unit has fewer models than the elite unit.

Hope this helps,
Rob
