No, I was really proposing to replace the option "detach skirmishers" from a brigade, by the option which would allow to divide the brigade in two, or to detach a regiment from it.
But I understand very well that it would not necessarily please the style of play of all players and I respect that. π
At the same time, by modifying the "detachedSkirmisherSizeModifier" data in the "ConfigFile", we can significantly increase the number of skirmishers and simulate almost the same thing.
But my personal preference would be to split the brigade in two instead of having skirmishers, since it is already possible to create such units in their own right. In addition, thanks to your work, it is possible to create very different skirmishers of the "Zouaves" type or downright "Sharpshooters" which do not have the same advantages at all. And that is already excellent. π
