Before I leave HG for a while, I decided to give the modding comunity a little present. A list (MS Excel *.xls file) containing all dead units and projectiles in AOK, separated into 4 categories: used dead units, unused dead units, used projectiles and unused projectiles.

Someone: why did you bothered making that list?

Simple. There are several projectiles that aren't fired by any unit. And there are several invisible dead units. Not to mention a few dead units that don't belong to any unit.

Therefore, when you think about it, you come to the conclusion that these units are useless, they just occupy space in your editor's list...

So I had an idea: why not replacing this units with something else? After all, editing "used" units is rather annoying since it might ruin multiplayer/campaign playing. Those unused units, on the other hand, never really appear into the game, and editing them doesn't "harm" it...

But given a first look it's kinda hard to find out which units are used and which are not. In fact, it's almost impossible to do it using only the editor. It took me 2 days to get it done, using both GeniEd2 and the ES editor. I wasted my time so that you can save yours.

Therefore, whenever you feel like adding a new unit to the game, there's no need to make a new one from scratch. There are 82 unused dead units and projectiles waiting to be replaced by something else!

NOTE: The list is not completed yet. There are more useless stuff that I still need to add, such as "OLD-GATOR" and "TMISA", among others. I might get that updated later...
