What's the limit on stack experience bonuses?

How many special "abilities" can you give a particular unit?

The most I've seen is 6.

Are you talking about stack experience?

If I recall, you can give up to 14 abilities but that includes stat bonuses too. I think only 6 special ability icons (or maybe it's 8?) can be displayed in the stack experience screen.

Yeah, I meant the special abilities that show up at the bottom of the stack experience screen.

I'm gonna play with it a little later. But Thunder lords (among others) have 6, with enough room left for the warlords banner bonus. So maybe 7 will fit with the banner, 8 without. 14 sounds like fun to test

Any idea what would happen if there were more than would fit on the screen? If not, I'll let you know tommorrow

EDIT: And thank you guys, this mod is great. And I love the ERM scripting. It's a bit tricky to get into, but kind of like assembly in a cryptic sort of way, once you know what's going on, it gets significantly easier.

Okay, yes it's 8 abilities that can be displayed (including Warlords Banner if it exists). If you have more than 8 abilities that require icons, only the first 8 will show up but the others will still be there. If you set more than 14 bonuses of any types (not including the Warlords Banner), you'll get an error message when you start a map and I believe only the first 14 will work.

This is true--it definitely gets easier. Some things may not be 100% logical (like the way variable letters are assigned) but that's partly because Slava developed and added to ERM as he went along--for example, first the flags were created then the "quick variables" were created and only after that followed the standard "v" variables.

Anyway, despite a few idiosyncracies and so forth, it's very powerful in what you can do, which is cool.
