Arrows on Fire! [Archive]

Have you ever thought about the flamming arrows in the game? I mean why is it that when they hit a target it goes up in flames and the dead soldier is now completely all black and roasted? Is this realistic for flamming arrows and is there a better way of animating the effect of flamming arrows? Well in my EB game that doesn't happen, take a look at these pics. This is probably a result of me accidently overwriting some files when installing another mod: (the second pic says it all)

I think the EB flaming arrows might be a bit darker than the vanilla RTW arrows...?

And that's cruel how you're just raping the enemy with gold chevroned Indian long bowmen...you're not even giving the half retarded AI a chance... :no: XD

it's not what you think, I just set up a custom battle to gather the screenshots. also, look at the second picture more closely, that's what the aftermath of a flamming arrow volley looks like, and that's definitely not in EB.

The ai is not HALF retarded. its outright fully mentally handicapped to the extreme!

I dont think the Ai is thaaaat retarded. Install a formation mod, dont use full stacks (10-14 units is enough) and use very few elite units. (plus BI och ALEX) This should give you some good and funny fights.

I dont have alexander. im stuck with RTW gold version. I wish alexander was free. its not really big enough to be a product in its own, something that I'd pay more than 10 bucks for anyway.

:laugh4:that sounds a little strange if taken out of context. Anyway, I think I figured it out. I have Invasio Barbarorum installed to the same RTW copy as my EB game. Also, I have installed a fan made mini-mod on Invasio Barbarorum called Sound-mod revolutions, and one of its features is blood on the dead bodies (like in the picture) and new look for flaming arrows. (and you can only get that blood effect if you kill a unit with flamming arrows) So I guess that the mini-mod isn't in it's own modfolder or something like that, and it overwrote the RTW vanilla files, thus you have the bloody bodies and flamming arrows in both EB and IB computer games.

that is very cool (in obviously a disgusting death way) - i don't mind the crispy fried dead enemy, but the blood style is a fresh approach to it!
