That will make me happy yes :!: :!:
Kapteeni, if you place them by hand I don't see any clear advantage of doing it as an actors. static or doing it as a mission template (and then in both cases incorporate in the master actors.static). I think this will take a lot of time?
Asheshouse suggest however to create a "farm" template and then use AUTOPOP, that will make things very fast. However you rather lose control over the precise position of farms (and this sometimes gives funny results which need correcting by hand), also they'll look repetitive ( such a farm template was used for example on original Normandy map, the same "farm" everywhere, you can do a better template than that but you're still limited because you have to place in the autopop template just a limited number of farms over a 1600 m x 1600 m region). Hm, I think it's still worth giving autopop a try, maybe that and then correct manually afterwards?
