What I have done

[Numdydar]

As others have noted, the game is pretty much un-winable as the CP on Balanced or higher against the AI. This is due to the AI moving all the small garrisions arond like shock troops [:@] that were added in the last patch.

So what I did was to edit the Units LUA so that all of these have 0 movement. In other words made them static. What a difference that has made.

The downside (of course there is always a downside to an easy fix [:(]) is that you cannot disband them and they will block you from putting better troops in a city until they die. But to me the game works much better so it is a small price to pay to actually not lose by 1915 [:)]

How do you edit this? I found this game impossible as a newb against the AI. The ability to attack, move & repair in the same turn was just a bit to much. It would be nice to put some sort of limiter on this.

It's not unwinnable as CP. Did it my second try on balanced.

Find the Units.LUA file under Data/Scripts and open with Notepad. Near the bottom you will find the stats for Smallgarrision. Just change the value for MP from 1 to 0 and they can no longer move [:)]. This only takes effect in a new game btw.

Using the latest patch? As that has made a massive difference.

Hi you can check out the original design for the new small garrison here.

The problem is not with the small garrison,its how the AI now uses them,they were never intended to be anything, but City defenders.

Should I assume that the same change is to be made to unit ID=23 "arabsmallgarrison"? (I did, anyway but I have a saved original copy, of course)
