[list type=decimal]
[*]At the top of module_troops we borrow a flag by the following declaration tf_guarantee_polearm = tf_unmoveable_in_party_window, so now we can use this flag to denote regular troops.
[*]Anywhere in module_constants we declare slot_troop_polearm = 40, this is an arbitrary constant so we can tell the game this troop has a special polearm allocated
[*]In process_troops.py we modify the existing function where it compiles module_troops into text files. Replace the entire top of the file until the end of the function save_troops()
[*]Having modified the function to also return a list of troops with polearms, we make sure these troops are assigned polearms at the start of the game. At the top of module_scripts, insert from process_troops import save_troops. Then, at the declaration of the first script "game_start" we prepend our list of troops to be assigned polearms
("game_start",
save_troops() + [
[/list]
The hard part is then finding a trigger which will make troops conditionally use their polearms. My code's pretty dated and also ties in with a bunch of other crap, so you can't just plug and play with that
