I haven't used this function yet but I ask what is it you are trying to do? If you are trying to make an adaptable difficulty that scales to the player use the count function it is a much better tracker. As for your script with the log function try putting it in a loop it seems to be calling out colonists and rangers at the start of the game. Not sure why there isn't a number it should have like 10 colonists from the command center and your 4 starting rangers.

When I or others playtest my Map, I want to afterwards understand what was going on.
So I use the Log funktion to Log important values and progress throught the game so that I can understand how fast players are pushing back Zombies, how fast their economy/army grows, which units they decide to use, ...

So that I can better understand how to pace and balance my map.

This is exactly my problem. The Log function is pretty useless when it does not Log numbers.

Log works fine. Your using quotes wrong, try:
Log ("Colonists: {Colonists}")

Ah right, thanks!
