Hello, Elemental moders.

Since I dislike the way stacks are currently handled, I made the Logistics-like techs give access to something else instead: ranks. In effect, it gives access to a set of ring (each for every techs) which makes the equiped unit a lieutenant/captain/general. Aside from a small permanent attack/HP boost the lieutenant/captain/general gets an ability that can be used on a friend, giving a bonus to attack/defense for a few rounds? However, I want to prevent this bonus to be used several times. Is there a way to make sure that a given power cannot be used several times on the same unit until the previous instance dissipates?

Also, I would like to attach an effect to an item/unit (can you say "flaming sword"?). Is there a way to do such a thing?
