Trigger Question
I've been working on a Civilization World type map that is based on the Dungeons and Dragons game. One of the wonders that I have in the scenario gives the owner a random unit every minute or so. Unfortunately, I cannot find the trigger in order to do this. Can anyone explain to me how to make a random unit appear for a player?

You use Switch's Randomize state.
Falkoner's site has a nice switch tutorial (if you ignore the red and yellow colors
.)
So, as an example I'll use two switches... If you are using more than like 4 switches it would be best to do the binary thingy where you add them all up.
Quick example... This just detects every single possibility.
Be careful how many siwtches you use... To figure out the possibilities, do 2x, where x is the number of switches. 21=2 possibilities, 22=4 possibilities, 23=8, possibilities, 24=16, 25=32, 26=64, etc.

You can also use a death count in combination with a switch and just constantly randomize whether or add 1 or not to the death, and then when it's time to pick the unit, you can just decide which unit to pick based on what the death count currently is.

I tried this but I ended up with a player having 5 hero battlecruisers that are supposed to be unique to a wonder. How do I fix this?

None.
It sounds like you didn't rerandomize the switches every time you checked them, so you got the same outcome every time, you have to randomize them each time.
None.
I did randomize them and I got a mixture of units but the problem was with the multiple unique units (instead of one unit every minute, I did one unit every five seconds).
None.
Oh... You may need a system that detects if it's a unique unit, then if it is, it rerandomizes and tries again.
None.
How do I do that?
None.
Set a switch at the time when a unit needs to be created, instead of immediately checking the random, then while the switch is set, randomize it, and on the conditions to create the unit, make sure that special unit isn't already out, and make sure the switch is set, and the switches are randomized in the correct combination. If all those conditions are met, create the unit and clear the switch, and have another trigger that randomizes if the switch is still set.
None.
Ok, I get it now. Thanks

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.[2026-7-26. : 3:14 pm]
ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.[2026-7-26. : 3:05 pm]
NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg][2026-7-26. : 11:15 am]
ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
