Hello,

I've been playing the Pyhrric Victories scenario. I noticed that I can't form regiments with my officers. Whatever the unit I click the + button remains grey, event when the officer I select is Pyhrros.

Is it normal? I thought I could always form a regiment with an officer and whatever unit.

Strange, i've played a little with this scenario some weeks ago (1.03 patch i think) and had no problem attaching units to epirote leaders. Are you selecting both the unit and the leader with CNTRL+click??

Yes, see the picture attached.

Weird! I remember attaching phalanx to all the * leaders without problem...
What patch are you using?
Does attaching work on other scenarios?

Yes, it does. Actualy attaching works in this scenario for the Romans. I'm using patch 1.02. I'll try to change that and see what happens.


EDIT : Well, patching the game did fix this issue, although I don't wee how when I read the changelog. So, kudos for Ageod!

LOL! I have had this game for over a year and I never knew you could even attach leaders to units.
Searching the manual I can't find any explicit reference to it, though I can now see it is mentioned in spots, however without any example of HOW to attach a leader to an individual unit.

So I am guessing the reason why you may want to attach a leader to a single unit is to allow any traits that are listed as "This personal ability only applies to the element itself" to at least apply to one unit within a multi-leader force stack.
I am guessing that attaching a leader to unit within a stack of units may increase the risk of losing that leader in a battle? (the fate of the leader being tied somewhat to the fate of the unit)

I am also guessing that the ATTACK-DEFENSE ratings of the leader attached to a unit also offer bonuses to the effective attack and defense values of the unit itself? I am guessing on top of any bonuses the unit may get from the STACK leaders ATTACK-DEFENSE ratings?

If this is the case then I have truly missed out on beefing up my armies in the past and explains why I was getting trounced in PBEMs. It did occur to me how odd it was that unless leader commanded the stack, many of his good leader abilities would go unused. I never really bothered too much with the tab that let you do this as it was always greyed out and thought it was for other games (it only un-greys if two eligible units are selected).

Got to say, it sounds like a neat mechanic.

If you know offhand of a thread where attached leaders gets discussed in detail please post the link. I will nevertheless search the forums for more info.

Bull

Most of your guessing is right (except the increased risk of leader deaths for what i now).

For info about attaching leaders benefits and muuuuch more about how combat works on AJE. They are awesome

I also am unable to attach using ctrl+LC

Patching the game solved the problem for Primus. Have you tried?
You must first select leader and unit with CTRL and left click and then use the (+) button on the special orders menu (middle tab IIRC) to the left of the unit panel.

Thanks arsan for prompt reply. Realised that Leader could only "lead" 4.
