Hi
Can someone take a look at this and tell me if this will work?

Plan is that the amount of French subunits is checked and if enough are there, the Austrian units in the defined regions should be killed.
I'm worried that the selected French subunits in the upper part of the event will get killed too, or does the selction of subunits "restart" after the "Actions" cell?

Run it and see! I'm not sure!

I would hope it resets each time, or your contitions will also accumulate!

See also: http://www.ageod.net/agewiki/Registry for a way to accumulate a total, or do "OR" logic!

Each time you use SelectSubUnits, the currently select sub units are unselected... So that would work theoretically. Practically, I find the way it is scripted very prone to error. You have put several tests in the same event, so they must ALL be true to trigger the event. Is it what you want?

[BigDuke66]

Yes that's what I want, the player should be forced to close any plausible line of retreat if he does that the Austrians surrender.

So this is only for a PBEM or for the player... the AI can't do something that clever.

Indeed, PBEM is the target.
