flabbert:is there any plans to streamline flanking? i.e cavalry can only flank cannons, but not trebuchets

I may well have already made tags for this... which would mean a check to ensure those tags are programmed correctly and some XML may be all that's necessary. IIRC I did that way back during the initial Combat Mod wave.

Yep: FlankingStrikesbyUnitCombat (for units) FlankingStrikesbyUnitCombatChange (for promotions)

It has not been yet planned out and was awaiting the unit planning project to be properly applied. There are some changes I meant to bring to these to unify the applications of this tag along upgrade paths.
