AI Battle Formation Mods

[QuintusSertorius]

I think I used these before, wondering if I should download for 1.2 since the AI seems terrible at holding a line. I think last time I used these they were slightly better at it.

Can somebody give me better installation instructions for these mods? I don't understand what a root directory is at all, and I'm no noob at modding, I've been using them for about 10 years. I didn't understand how to install the mod, so I unpacked Darth's mod to my desktop (rather than to the root directory) and from there I cut/pasted the files in to RTW/EB/Data and clicked yes to overwrite all. Would this install the mods correctly?

I've done this with both mods. (darth and sinu)

I ask because I'm having such horrible, awful, terrible results with both mods that I fully believe I've installed them wrong. When the AI is defending against me they can hold a formation, sure, but when I am defending against them, when they are attacking, they use their troops in the most stupid, ridiculous and frustrating ways imaginable. So someone let me know if the way I installed them would be right.

Could anyone provide a working download link? Can't find the formations for EB anywhere else.

Would be great :)

I have a question. I downloaded the file and installed all three mods - first Darth, then MC and then Sinuhet. Will i get the benefits of all three, or just one or two? (I've seen a difference btw so something is working, but I don't know what). And lastly, if you can't install all three which ones do you recommend? If someone explained what each does that would be cool. Thanks in advance.

Hello Danio, welcome to the .Org and to EB .

I am afraid you cannot combine the benefits of multiple mods in this way: they simply overwrite one another's files. It's been a while since I last installed formation mods, but my guess is you are now using MC's player formations and Sinuhet's A.I. formations (unless Sinuhet also included a player formation file in his mod, in which case you are using that as well).

Sinuhet and Darth improve A.I. battlefield tactics by tuning the field formations the A.I. uses (they may also have fiddled with the player formations). MC simply changed the pre-set formations the player can use. I don't recall there being a big difference between Sinuhet's and Darth's formations. Both made the A.I. a bit smarter on the battlefield, but that's it.

Alright thanks for the reply, I wasn't actually expecting one - RTW doesn't seem too popular nowadays. If what you say is true, then I'm using Darth and MC (I reinstalled). Very cool mods. And thanks for the reply

You just need when downloading to un-tick the option to use their download manager as it seems like the antivirus is detecting it as mallware. If you do so it will work.
