Thanks Harpo! 

Also, I've uploaded all my work from this weekend.  It's by no means perfect, but here it is.  2 Factions for play are added,  Zhentil Keep and New Phlan.  Anyone remembering Pool of Radiance ?  Yep.  Timeline is ~~ shortly after those events. Right, also going to need to put file POR.png in the Mods/Gfx/Logos folder.  If 'Logos' doesn't exist make it and toss it in there.  Right. I'll get the readme straightened out on that for next update.   Also there's a Forgotten Realms map JPG in the art folder.  Very handy as an atlas/reference. 

PS-> The "Tree" is not good to me.  I put the link in.  If you click the box it'll take you to the right page at least. 

Adding to what NJ just said, we all know a lot of magic was gutted with/when the new magic system came into play.  There's like  a great void of "stuff"  and that's what I hope to plug in with what I started here.  I definitely want to give it that D&D touch.  Mostly since those groups who started their own are kind of quiet and none of which picked Forgotten Realms already.  The one area I was most familiar with.  Though I do look forward to seeing them all, I might add.  Hopefully, I can spur them on, maybe encourage the devs (whoamI kidding LoL) But maybe they're impressed a few of us are already doing our damndest to mod stuff already.  Or not.  I'd like to think it brings smiles knowing there's a fan base waiting to see what's "under the hood" in addition to playing the game. 

On a programming note, I'd like to ask a question - If I was to create a damage spell that does damage to a "squad",  let's just say 2 damage per guy in the squad..  squads are teams of four.  Single unit stuff,  I'm ok with damage spells. 

Right so, later on there's teams of 8 and 12...  A) Is it possible?  and if so, can you direct me to an example or tell me how to adjust the code?

C)Is it possible to vary the damage per guy in the squad (min/max value)? 

Final note:  Anyone wanting to comment and feedback on stuff I am totally open to new ideas and possibilities.  I've been thinking of going with the following factions below (listed in pairs, largely though to balance out Kingdom/Empire, also they're antagonists to each other anyway):  Zhentil Keep, New Phlan, Neverwinter, Luskan, Waterdeep,  Menzoberranzan.   Thinking of adding two to four more, suggestions welcome.

You're in luck, it is possible. I'm using the code below for a fireball spell. So you can scale it according to TroopCount, in this case it multiplies by 2 for every 4 troops. You can adjust this however you want. I would assume that you could stick the TroopCount in the MaxValue and MinValue expression, but I haven't tested this, myself... Hope this helps! Happy Modding!

Thanks much, LightofAbraxus!  I may keep Fireball  as is. (I've got it at 3rd Level)  Pretty potent.  But Delayed Blast Fireball (7th Level Wizard Spell)  I'll opt to include the troop count.  Harder to research, etc..  That way its not too much to early.   May look at a chain lightning type spell as well that works on troop count. 

So Dropbox it is.  I can look at making future updates with it also.   Not to slam 4shared since it was free - just NO wait and NO ads trumps everything.

I don't think it is and even if it is then there is not much point due to the way squads work. A squad is really one unit that reduces in "power" as its HP goes down. e.g. a unit has 80HP and 8 people in it. If it takes 2 damage per unit; then it takes 16 damage over all "killing" one unit. If the damage varied per unit the outcome would essentially be the same as the HP is shared between them all, rather than being per unit. Or at least that is how I think it works! It has been tweaked a few times so I may be wrong now.

Just for clarity, doing damage using UnitCount as part of the calculation is entirely valid but varying the damage per unit in a squad to the best of my knowledge is not.

I think what we have to consider is that a although a single target spell can damage all the men in a squad if it is high damage enough. It is still essentially a single target spell. The first level of an AOE effect should be that the spell does damage to all the people in a squad on a single tile. The next level would be that it does damage to all squad members within a range of 1 from the original tile, etc etc.

Currently allot of AOE spells are actually AOE single target spells rather than true AOE as they do not take into account the squad unit count. Although the distinction is a little fuzzy as a squad is both multiple "units" as well as a single unit. Personally I'd like a clarification on exactly how distinct each person in a squad is. I think it is just a comparison of current health to maximum health with reference to max number of squad members. Where each pseudo unit owns a part of the overall units stats.

So if I want to reduce armour per unit in a squad then I think it would have to be reduced by the maximum number of squad members not the current number. As unlike health I don't think the overall Armour and Attack values decrease as squad members are killed.
