Great work~ thx~!!

No id display above units

or do i need to download all the links

do i need a general like in civ3 to make a stack?

mod dose not work.

This really needs a way to move the whole stack in one move. Moving units can get quite tedious

can you move them all in one stack?

I was wondering something. You mention that if, "you're playing WaW, there's no need to enable this mod". I see in the description that WaW allows stacking of 2 units but can that be increased? Also, I apologize if I should have asked this question on the WaW page.

@sgtklink - yes, the WaW mod will definitely conflict, as it basically uses the same code as this one. So, if you're playing WaW, there's no need to enable this mod any longer.

OK so after removing and adding various mods from my list, I've found out that the World at War mod conflicts with this, although the Terrain Improvements and Irregular Units mods both seem to be compatible. Late Game Unit Pack is also unaffected.

Also a map

I get the option to rename units but literally stacking effect no longer works. The only mods I added were ones that added improvements and buildings (from authors who's mods were compatible with this one), and Barbarians Evolved (removed, but still doesn't work) and a unit or two. Any idea which type of mods change the files that make this one incompatible?

@S-Man do any of your other mods conflict this one? Because it has worked fine for me before but when I started a new game it doesn't appear to. I used quite a bit of mods in the past with this one just fine but since I added a few more it doesn't seem to work.

yeah those options aren't really working so its probably something to do with my laptop... my actual computer will probably work tho, thanks for the help :)

@ebaG - google is your friend:

@Redmenance53 & @Kokomo - one of these mods must also replace one of these files: UnitFlagManager.lua, UnitPanel.lua, SetUnitName.lua.

I apologize, but I don't have time to look into which one is causing the problem. Only one version of these files can be active at any one time. Any mod that relies on its particular version of them will experience problems when a different version is loaded.

What other mods do u have loaded?

i also have redmenance's issue. Any fixes?

all the action buttons disapear from the game i cant select any thing for the unites to do how to fix? its every time i load a game.

You should be ashamed of yourself. AI-kun doesn't deserve this treatment.

The AI got smart somehow and are making stacks of three artillery help

Thx for your attention S-Man :)

@Pandamansleep - enjoy! The mod was never meant to be toooo serious, hence the name... ;)

It started as an experiment, then some folks as for me to release it, so I did.

It's fun to play, but going over 2 UPTs really alters the game to where it's now a "practice session" and not a "real game" any longer. The AI is just too outclassed - and it doesn't need much help in THAT department....

Still, sometimes, beating up on the AI is quite fun too... ;)

Dude I used this mod and conquered 10 citites using stacks of Berber Calvalry. Awesome mod especially with great generals in those stacks

@Smoker - this would require a lot of effort in LUA and greatly impact performance - the game engine would have to check every unit every turn - testing every single tile it enters to see if it's a city, then either allow the move or not.

Also, the AI would use this ability poorly, unlike a human player - making the mod even more OP. The game's AI uses this mod's capabilities, but more on accident than any kind of planning. A human player carefully planning moves/troop concentrations/capability mix has a dramatic advantage build in. And there's no feasible way to "reprogram" the AI to use these features better, short of a major, custom DLL.

OTOH, WHoward has a mod that allows exactly what you're asking, but you have to use his custom DLL. Link:

http://www.picknmixmods.com/mods/CivV/Global/3%20Units%20Per%20City.html

BTW, his DLL does tinker quite a bit with AI planning, unit pathfinding, etc. It has a much better chance of putting up a better fight than this simple mod.

Great work S-Man thx a lot. I was wondering, would be possible stack 3 units only in cities?

@brometheus - The mod uses Civ V's standard combat process. From my understanding, this means, when a unit is attacking a stack, it is still a 1:1 attack, and selects the most powerful unit (highest combat strength) in the stack to attack (even if that unit is in low health).

For instance, in the non-modded game, your battleship is attacking another battleship, but the defending ship has a embarked infantry unit in the same tile. The attack hits the ship, not the infantry unit. Once the ship is sunk, the next attack would go against the next most powerful unit - the infantry.

This mod will perform similarly, but if there is a battleship, destroyer, and infantry in the stack, the battleship must be sunk first, the next attack goes against the destroyer, and so on.

I haven't tested this too much so far, but if anyone is seeing anything differently, let me know. Thanks.

You haven't mention a very important aspect of this mod - is how does the combat strength and health stack? Could you give an example?

lol -> 1 nuclear bomb it's wiped

@Shooter - see my post from 2 Feb 2018 @ 1145. Thanks!

@Pandamansleep - enjoy! I think the mod adds a lot of "fun" to the game at the great expense of realism and balance. Still, sometimes ya jest gotta.... ;)

Time for an army of giant death robots to storm the Shoshone

Do ai's also stack their troops?

Thank you! It worked

@Aragorn.2: Try this one:

https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/sod-this-mod.26687/

Is there a direct link to download this mod? I was unable to subscribe to it on Steam.

You was able to stack like 20 troops and with general make one "army" of all the troops :p

Who remembers Civ III ?

(Ends up putting 10 Panzers in one stack to go around blitzing everything it comes across)

@S-Man thanks for clarifying, seems best for a multiplayer game then.

so basicaly just civ 3? but with civ 5 units? coolz

@Ch1ckenDestr0yer - I've ran 3 test games (500+ turns) using Live Tuner. This tool takes over the game, basically converting the human player to AI. You also get to see the entire map while the game is running - kind of like watching a movie.

From what I've observed, the AI does indeed use stacking, and seems to have a little less problem maneuvering units/traffic jams.

But, as the AI pathfinding code is optimized for 1 UPT, there's no way the AI will use stacking nearly as efficiently as a human player. Not without a DLL to rewrite the pathfinding function.

So, this mod represents a pretty OP gift to the human player. Personally, I think anything larger than 2 UPT is no longer a game, more of a scrimmage against the AI....

Does the AI stack their units too?

To clear the Civ V Game cache:

1. Exit the game and open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).

2. Navigate to the game's cache - usually located someplace like this:

C:\<username>\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\cache

3. Delete everything inside the "cache" folder. Don't worry, the game generates these files every time it starts.

4. Restart Civ V, load this mod and see if you still have similar results.

Good luck!

May want to clear the game cache and see if that helps.

@AA Vet - what other mods do you have activated?

Love that you got this working without requiring its own DLL like gedemon's mod. The only thing is both human and AI units can occupy the same tile as other civs, making it pointless to defend chokepoints and keep units out and whatnot. Also, the flanking bonus remains when units occupy the same tile, making it quite unbalanced when more units are involved. Awesome idea though I might still play with this mod anyway.

By the way, does the Ai actually know they can stack with each other? I played through a quick game and didn't seethem stack once

@AA Veteran: Which Ironman? I see over 7 Ironman mods listed, maybe more.

I looked at the "Super Civs - Marvel Heroes Pack" and didn't see anything obvious that would break, but you'd need to play it to see how compatible the mods are.

As long as any mod doesn't replace the "UnitFlagManager.", "UnitPanel", and "SetUnitName" UI files, it should work with this mod.

But again, there's only one way to know for sure...

god bless your spirit I always thought 1upt was a pile of shit
