Experimenting with movieclips

The idea here is large scale battles within a single frame, this whole idea can be done manually, but it would be severely tedious keeping track of a dozen figures moving at once, so here i am abusing the movieclip to its limits and see what I can, and cannot get by with it.

I was able to create a full movieclip for the figures In the background but not the ones infront due to it exceeding the node limit for movieclips (that being two war machines in one frame with 4 soldiers in it) but I am learning or guessing that I’m probably able to do a 2v2 or a 3v3 within one single movieclip if I limit the nodes of my figures enough.

And with a futile plea, ralph please let the movieclip be not so limited in frames but also in nodes aswell 🥺 that will be it.
