	Modding Leader Units issue (Firaxis please asnwer if possible) Suffering from ads?

I am currently working on my Operation Barbarossa WW2 scenario and would like to implement different leader units for Germany and Russia.

Heres my issues/questions:

1. Can you have two seperate leader units (i.e Soviet/German)

2. How does this affect era changes (i.e is the leader unit hard coded to work only with the default folders or can I leave the existing ones and create new leader units)

3. If a German leader is captured by Soviets (as an example), will the game switch the graphics from the German leader unit to the Soviet leader unit.

I am unsure all together as to how leaders work and whether the 1.29 patch allows new leader units to be introduced.

Please answer this Firaxis if you are reading this thread. A yes or no answer will be fine as I dont expect you to make a new patch just for this.

1. You can but It may not work right as there is only one place for Battle-Created Unit in the Gerenal Settings tab.

2. You can make any unit change with era by making a folder with the name Unit ANCIENT TIMES, Unit MIDDLE AGES, ect, you can leave the existing ones and create new leader units.

3. If you capture a unit you can not build it is destroyed.

Not sure if this would work but you could try to have the units upgrade to each other like this: Leader > Soviet Leader > German Leader > Soviet Leader, This may fix some of the problems.

Ok...so from what I understand it goes something like this:

1. The game can only handle one Leader unit

2. As long as I have the folders, there should be no problem.

3. Assuming their is a limitation in point 1, then the game will not switch the leader graphics around.....

I think I will leave them out for now until Firaxis comes up with a better way of doing these things.
