I added a couple Haradrim units to ye olde Haradrim Palace. They can be built and work fine. I have them listed in SkirmishAIData, they're in the command sets for the Palace correctly and all. Each is even just a mildly re-tooled and renamed copy of Haradrim archers and Lancers.

 

The AI just ... never builds them. And I cannot figure out why. All relevant files are attached below. I just haven't been able to figure out what I'm missing. I'm sure it's something obvious somewhere.

Even if you increase the percentages to something insane like 100?
Maybe the balance is wrong and causes the ai to build them so little that they are never recruited, the rest seems fine though as far as i can tell.

Yep, even if dialed to 100 in all phases: Nada. I am super clueless here. It should all just work. Hrm.

Am I right to assume that the ai still functions the way it "should", with that I mean, it still does what it used to do before you tried changing it?

Maybe the whole AI broke...

Try removing an existing unit from what they build, see if that changes anything ingame or not.

AI works just dandy as I mess around with it. Does exactly what I wan... except for building these guys. Commenting out units in skirmishaidata doesn’t make the ai build my guys.

Oh it’s in a tidy folder run by a -mod shortcut. And I’ve tweaked the heck out of it and haven’t had the slightest trouble until now.

I am the dumbest man alive. Turns out at some point I accidentally dragged the ole’ SkirmishAI come out of place. Wow. Both my threads have been due to amazing ineptitude. Boyoboyoboy.
