Hi,
I'm playtesting various custom AMLAs and while they all work fine I have a question.

The setup
A player AMLAs a unit so they get +1 damage to a ranged attack (AMLA #1).
Later the player gains the opportunity to AMLA to a new ranged attack (AMLA #2).

Now the original ranged attack has a +1...

It simply is. RNG is too much of a factor and there is little to no room for error, since your units can die too easily and too fast, so you can't even retreat them.

EDIT: I found the solution to this problem in case anyone is looking for it. In the _main.cfg file, you have to load the macros defining abilities before you use them in your unit type definition.

I finally started to dwell into the WML stuff and successfully created a _main.cfg and a first scenario file which worked fine for some time until I tried to make an moveto event which killed my file. Now I can´t find where to locate the is missing name or id field.
It worked before, but it seems I...

If you use an addon, era or campaign with units with levels above 9, in the GUI they are seen in almost all languages with ellipsis points. And you have to hover your mouse over to know the number.

Have you ever felt that mainline's Eastern Invasion was... lackluster? So do I, but the campaign premise has so much promise that I couldn't bear to see it go to waste.

So, I've worked on-and-off for the past year to build an extensive rewrite of Eastern Invasion, which I'm proud to present here...
