WAS Enabling Multi-Stat Attributes NOW Restricting Models

[clint_lindstrom at hotmai]

That makes perfect sense. Thanks for the help!

Could I get you (or anyone!) to assist with another problem?

The file I'm working on is for an ancient naval warfare rule set. The rules
specify that certain ships can make up a percentage of your fleet. For
example, a Roman fleet can consist of 20% Heavy Quadriremes. I used the
following attribute to restrict the number of Heavy Quadriremes that can
appear in a Roman fleet:

tlmt:heavyquad-pct=20@max

The problem is that the above attribute allows for 20% based on the point
total, not based on the number of models (which is what I need). Is there
anyway to restrict the number of certain unit based on the percentage of
models being used?


Thanks in advance!!!

I think the reason nobody else replied to this is that it isn't possible...
I spent a few minutes trying to work out a way to do it, and came up with
nothing. Sorry

Actually, I think you CAN do this. Assign all Heavy Quadriremes the type
"HvyQuad". Then use "trat" to verify the ratio between HvyQuad and
non-HvyQuad. If you specify to use models as the basis of the ratio, you
should be able to achieve your 20% limit.

Hope this helps,
Rob
