I once had the idea of making an independent mod with the Dacian Wars, howewer due to the lack of time i have decided to make a historicall battlepack for EB with the Dacian Wars. Eb is the best mod, and it has the best dacian units so farr.
The battle of Tapae is functional, and it is well ballanced , howewer due to some thing wich i do not understand fully, only the Romans are playable. I worked hard on the terrain and tried to make something as close as possible to reality. I used to live close to the supposed battlefield, and i modified the relief and forest to look realistic. Unit composition is based on Trajan Column, but also on educated guess.
I have experimented alot because i was thinking of recreating some of the sieges in this wars, in wich the romans assaulted dacian mountain fortresses and had to climb on steep mountains alot under a hail of missiles.
The terrain was no problem to be made... a large mountain ridge, wooded, conected with the main mountain`s body. I love terrain editing, so that was fun. Howewer, i realised that i could not put a settlement overthere in the top. RTW barbarian settlements are very different from the II century dacian Dava, so....
I have decided to put a stone walled forth over the top. In have made it, and it looked awesome in the editor, howewer for some reasons i could not put the dacian soldiers on top of the walls.
When i tested it , bad suprise - no more walls, out of the fort remained only the earth fortifications. Why ?
Anyone willing to help is more than welcome !
