DarionLeonidas Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Sorry if the answer to this is obvious or well-known, but... How do I populate a mission with lots of non-combatant Persons, like a dance rave or a museum gala? Thanks in advance!

Darmian Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 OR...you choose something like Loyalists from the pop down and have lots and lots of patrols, all tagged as allies.

Darmian Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) I had to make bunches of things. Like Prisoners. You'd think they would exist but no. And lawyers for a law office. And Sailors. And cleaning staff. And...you'd think there would be more, you know, just regular people. You can't have those Loyalists/whoever as the map fillers because there's no way (that I can see) of making them allies. So best set that to empty.

I just used the Loyalists as Non-Combat captives and settled for no crowds, at least for now. At least it provided variety in them which I didn't have to craft on a per-unit basis, so that was very helpful, thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can set it to hard to have that group be big and can give them animations (e.g. like boom boss for the boss and dance for the group - or soapbox for the boss and listen for the group, etc.) they won't truly be non-combatant of course but if the groups are spread out, like ravers in the front and middle and boss and enemies in the back, they won't likely encounter one another.
