That's cool Thorlof, I wasn't sure if what I mentioned was an addition of your own to make Darth's mod compatible with EB or whether it was just pure Darth mod. Oh well! Thanks for putting this together! Oh, and thanks a ton Gaias! That's exactly what I am looking for!
Very interested in this mod. I will install the current version today and see how it goes. Also installing the 'fix large walls' mod that somebody mentioned the other day, which should be included in EB imho.
Thorlof, do you have a schedule of works? Like, is it nearly finished, or do you imagine continued tweaking for months, or somewhere in between?

This week i finish next version, with 15 new units from King Luis Assurbanipal(but only recruting in campaign),new stats-hard fight,and added 0.81a ctd rebel fix, and obviously formation ai(Sinuhet and Darth and My in one to EB with BI),night battles,first kohort.
New units? Well, seems this mod has gone out of the realm of being just a formation mod. What units are these exactly? Is there a link to any more info on them?
10 hoplits http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...t=56233&page=8 macedon and epir hypaspist, macedon and seleucid Pezhetairoi, and celtic warrior this unit is added. We (King Luis Assurbanipal, Beleg and I ) want build together big submod to EB. But now I use King Luis units to my mini submod. some unit is from Ancient Wars mod (not relase yet) but this is accesible units.I dont use another units from AW although own this fantastic mod. but not be fair
if I use another not accesible units.
Well, could you split your work in 2 section? In the first just adapt formations for use in EB and in the other develop a full fledged sub mod? At the moment I am not interested in sub mods, but I would surely like to try Darth's and Sinuhet's formations under EB...
Thanks in advance...
I second this request. Would the original version of this formation mod work with 0.81a for BI?Quote:

This formation is better than "naked" old formation.Unfortuntely this formation from TBS the best running with other files, but working in EB 0.81a with BI
When you download the zip file, you can just use the descr_formations_ai and descr_formations text files, as I did. I'm pretty sure that's all you need for just formations, although as Thorlof said, you don't get shieldwall and stuff. I'm not sure which other files are necessary for that.
Personally, I added them manually in export_descr_unit (for the record "can_swim" is an unit attribute the way "hardy" is, and "shield_wall" a formation like "phalanx" and "wedge"; it's easy to put the latter in the unit attribute line by mistake which duly leads to a CTD during the game-start parsing, although if you've -show_err on it'll helpfully tell you which unit is the problem) and used common sense, historical knowledge and the export_unit description texts (which in a fair few cases mention "shieldwall ability" or something like that; "warcry" is occasionally mentioned as well, and while you're at it you might as well add that one to the units you think it is appropriate) as a guide.
Thorlof, can you make a formation-only submod for RTW (no BI) with the Sihuet+Darth formation files?
Why don't you post up the files of these changes you made yourself? I'd be interested in a historian's sub-mod, trusting your decisions on who gets what ability and stuff.Quote:

Okay, thanks Thorlof and Wonderland.
Eh, I'm no historian. Just a hobbyist. Plus these days my EDU file includes that First Cohorts mod and a fair few other alterations deviating from the original - up to and including at least one wholly altered bodyguard unit - so I'm a bit doubtful of its suitability to "public use".Quote:

Ok, this formation for everybody to use. :yes: But after holiday (now in Poland constitution holiday- first 03.05.1791 constitution in Europe) and looooong free weekend (28.04-7.05) i return to work with formation .If i ended i relase in RoA and TBS , but if you included this formation this is ok and I happy .
PS you see my english uff writing in english this is horror for my.
Cool, thanks. :bow:
No problem. But You use formation from tbs 0.4-this is new (for now)
From here, you mean ?
dont. From here http://files.filefront.com/TBS04rar/.../fileinfo.html or https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=84489 this is new(now)
Ah. Will do, thanks.
So TBS 0.4 are only the formations?
Bah, I get an error in export_descr_unit.txt on a carthaginian unit... Should I use only the formation files from the links above?
no, TBS is battle system-formation, new EDU and mount . But this is for Eb with bi.If you can only formation you must change line in formation ai : unit_density loose, close to unit_density close, loose. This is simple in edit - change all. But only to EB with bi.
ok, so I unpack everything and then go about editing all of the above... Will report back later with results.
