[IDEA] Auto Troop Design Option

It's rather annoying to have the AI automatically create a troop design.

There should be an option to enable and disable it.

Does anyone agree?

I'm not certain if I follow.

 

Do you dislike the premade-troops? (i.e. Scouts, Observers, Peasants?)

 

Cause if so, you can design your own troops, and call them what  you want.

i think he means that every time you research the warfare tech, it spits out an observer, then a forw obs, then a scout, then an adv scout, etc...

maybe just an option to keep only the peasant and pioneer so the player doesn't get flooded with pre-made designs.

hrm. I don't know if this is a big enough deal to waste time on TBH. The game only pre-generates what, 8 or 9 units? the time it takes to delete the pre-gen'd units is so negligible.

 

But I guess if the Dev team have time it wouldn't be an awful thing to put in.

It's been a common complaint so it's definitely something we're likely to add when possible.

More like infinite, because it is every time you research a military tech including the ones that do not have a limit for how many times you can get them.

Please add the option to toggle the auto troop creation.

It's also worth mentioning that the units I designed in previous games appear in later games.

 

Since every game is supposed to be unique, and my designs match the resources I have around me, many custom designs are worthless.
