Already did that, that's what I meant by copying the FC logic. What I have now is the Emperor_Palpatine_Team HeroCompany spawning a Royal_Guard_Team Container of appropriate size with Palpy and some Imperial_Elite_Guard Indigenous_Units in it. It's basically a direct clone of the FC with tweaked numbers and some Abilities logic in the style of R2/C3P0. As far as I can tell, the only thing that's really different from the FC, beyond abilities, is the individual units not having the Create_Team flag (the FC's guards do, haven't bothered to look at the FC himself yet). Meh, I'll dig more tomorrow.

So by copying the logic for the Field Commander and the Abilities stuff from R2/C3P0 (I didn't think of that before because I never play the damn rebels), I can get a squad of Royal Guardsmen to land with the Emperor. There are two problems though. First, the Emperor is one unit and the squad of guards are another. I want them to be like the Field Commander and appear as one unit. My guess is that I need a new Guard infantry unit with Yes set on it (Palpy might need this flag too, I don't know). Which can happen tomorrow, I'm done for tonight after spending a couple hours trying to find a crash bug that turned out to be a badly-formed comment (I hate XML). Might also be related to Palpy's abilities and the Guardsmen's lack thereof. The second problem, which I haven't even tried to deal with yet but am asking about because someone here might have handled it already, is that they don't appear in formation. Ideally there would be some sort of phalanx around the Emperor but they just land in a jumbled mess. Thanks everyone for suggestions.

Hi guys, It has always bothered me that the Emperor doesn't get to have an Imperial Elite Guard when he lands on a planet. It really seems like he wouldn't go down alone, he'd get some of those awesome red-cloaked guardsmen to accompany him. So I tried to make a mod that does this, but I can't get the Emperor and his Guard to apper as one selectable unit, like the field commanders do. Maybe this is because the Emperor has his two force power?
