Effect Description:

Adds units to a (ghost or normal) army.

Effect Parameters:

Army: The army you wish to deploy on the map. "Show" centers on the army being used. "Make" creates an army out of the selected units.
Protoname: A drop-down list of protounits you wish the army to be made up of.
Set Area: Clicking this and clicking an area on the map will set the place where the army appears.
Show Area: Centers on the area where the army appears.
Count: The number of units in the army when it appears.
Heading: The direction in which the units in the army face.
Clear Existing Units:

ON = All units previously belonging to the army will not belong to the army any more, the army will now solely consist of the new units created with this effect.
OFF = All units previously belonging to the army will still stay in the army. This way the newly created units are added to the army.

Notes:

If you want to make an army with several kinds of units, use several of these effects with the respective unit types (you can use them in the same trigger if you like) and use Clear Existing Units OFF. This way all units will be added up to the army.
