How to: Missile land units Support for Sea units

[ebbe]

hej there, yes still around being very busy with SHOGUN game with THE DOG.. pleasant cooperation making great progress:

I want to have Missile units to support navy units when onboard;

I think that is an essential element of naval warfare these days...
but support doesn't work in the regular way ...

anyone knows how to solve this?
or a nice workaround?

<!-- support of missile units on ships-->

Hi @ebbe

So you have a Sea unit that has transport capacity that when the missle unit is on board it gives support to the Sea/Naval unit ? If so, I remember someone wanted something similar a while back but I never followed up on it.

I'm not sure if supportAttachment recognizes cargo on a transport. Haven't tried it. I think I was gonna try and use unitPresence, the missile unit in this case, to trigger the support or change the combat values with <option name="unitAttachmentName" value="UnitAttachment" count="unitAttachment"/>
then trigger back if there weren't any present.

I never tried it tho. I'll think on it some
