Unit and commander variation in the scenmaker

[Bie]

I've been trying to get some variation in the skills of my units and commander. Yet when I use the unit variation tool (I set it to +/- 10%) it always reverts back to the no variation setting once I reload the scenario in the scenmaker. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yeah it returns to no variation by default , why is that a problem ?

Maybe I don't really understand how to use it. But when I select a unit and put a variation on it, it doesn't actually change any of the skills. Also when I boot up the scenario in game, there is no change. I'm probably not using it correctly though.

Well, I am not sure I have understood what you want to do and what doesn't work. But the variation supposes to work when you apply a commander's skill to an unit i.e:

1. select an unit (possibly with with subordinates)
2. use menu 'Commander'->'Set(..).'->(value)%

Your unit's commander and its sub-units commanders will get the value assigned with the random variation selected.
Which means, variable values are applied only in scenario maker and remain fixed since then.

Silly me, I was only putting in the +/- variation in, without actually setting any of the stats. Didn't know that you also had to set them, I assumed that it would do it as is on the unit. Thanks for pointing the way.
