Historic Battles MOD

Historical Battles features as you might have guessed different historical battles as accurate as possible like correct army setup, placement, terran, unit ratio, strenght / weaknesses while preserving the excellent gameplay. Currently you will find 15 famous battle (also playable on Lan/Net, including 2vs2 player maps) ranging from Silarus River, Guagamela, Cannae, Marathon, Pharsalus and many many more which hopefully will offer you some tactical challenges as you take in command of some of the most famous generals and leaders in history like Darius - King of Kings :crown: Hannibal, Spartacus and Alexander the Great!

In short welcome to the most historic accurate MOD :book:

Oh and not to forget I've managed to complete the massivly requested battle of Watling Street, where Boudicca, queen of the Iceni tribe (briton) rises up in revolt against the romans in a mix of revenge, liberation and hatred for the Romans... as always tell us what you think!

Hi NinjaCool
Have downloaded the battles and they are excellent, so am down loading the 2.3 version as I am a big fan of Kadesh.
Can you let me know how you create historical battles in RTW? Where the files are, rough format etc.
Also for your information, a few of us have written a guide to creating MTW historical battles and the thread is kept in the Main Hall of the MTW forum. We have cracked most of the information but I am still a bit puzzled as to where they keep the text for the historical battles that come with the game. Am currently experimenting controlling the ai which allows me to add extra goals for the player and to get the ai to respond in a more historical way to events. Various folk are planning to put their efforts on the forum in the future.
Anyway keep up the good work.

Thanks for this historical battles pack, NinjaCool. I love to load up a quick historical fight and was disappointed there weren't more in the original game so this is fantastic. Great to be able to try some battles featured in Time Commanders but not included with the game... ~:)

So ninjacool I was wondering I have been reading a boi on Alexander the Great. In the book there are details on the battles and the amount of troops. If you would like any info like me know. Also the battle at Hydaspes River It is considered the greatest battle of his battles. :book:

Why are there Dacian falxmen at Watling street?

My guess is te represent how greatly the Romans were outnumbered. 10,000 Romans vs 70-100,000 Britons.

As for the Falxman, the Britons did have them.

There is no dacian faction there, he just hasn't got any skins for british ones.

What files in my R:TW installation will be affected by this mod? I'd like to backup them just in case anything goes wrong, but I'm too lazy to wait the minutes it takes doing a backup of the entire R:TW installation. I'd also like to know if this mod will affect playing mp custom battles or playing mp historical battles.

Added: could you make a special release with manual install too? For example just a .zip-file with all the files and a small readme.txt that tells you where to put the files? Last time I installed a mod the install file was dirty so I'm a little suspicious about opening .exe files but would still like to enjoy your historical battles mod.

Hi,

What's with all these great community mods doing what should have been done by the developer? And in general doing it better?!

This mod looks great for any fan of ancient history!!!

Are you planning to implement any famous sieges etc.?

If so you may want to consider hooking up with/using this mod I recently started (its at: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?p=717652 )!

Its main aim is to accurately recreate the ancient cities in the game!

Sorry for this blatant advertising! If you're interested just swing by the thread, if not ignore this shameless advertisement!

Yours'

I get CTD when try to play histroy battles, what i need to

This is probably only for RTW 1.0 or 1.2. You probably have 1.5 and so it doesn't work.
