Ok, I did it again, thanks to the suggestion of Sir Moody. We found a solution to build mounted units quickly, using a blank horse bif. Kom, as I said in the past this game is all the time surprising me. I'm so happy http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/cheers.gif

Hello everyone,
First I want to say that I love this mod. You guys have done a great job with it. It still needs a lot of balancing, so factions are impossible to play without some tweaking.
I have played this mod for a few months now, and I have been trying to figure out how to stop the AI from building cavalry. I spent a lot of time adjusting the AI's Unit choices numbers but that never seems to help the barbarian factions, they always still build a ton of cavalry.
The best solution I have found to fix this was by changing the Unit type (second column in Gnome editor)of the barbarian's infantry, from INFANTRY to CAVALRY. My reasoning for doing this is because no matter how I changed the AI's Unit choices numbers, they would not build many infantry units. So, I look at their AI type, which is Barbarian_Raider. I figured that this AI type, which was used for the Golden Horde in the orginal TW, is programed to buld mostly cavalry units (the golden horde would build almost only cavalry).
Even if my interpretation of how the AI types work is wrong, the solution still works. I changed all of the barbarians infantry unit types to cavalry. It causes the barbarians to build a lot of infantry. The change seems to have no adverse effects either (the game does not crash because you changed the infantry types to cavalry).
As far as the non barbarians still bulding cavalry, I think that it can be helped be altering the AI's Unit choices.
Other tweaks -
I have tweaked a ton of stuff in the game, but on of the only other major problems I have is about slingers. An army of slings can cripple even the most the battle hardened Greek army, unless they have some fast barbarian mercs, cavalry, or slings of your own. Though this may have been historically possible, it is just a pain in the butt. I have started by lowering the slingers ammo from 60 to about 40. I am also thinking about slowing their running speed some and lowering their morale.
p.s. I have not tested the cavalry change over a long period of time. I always play as the spartans and I only play about 20 or 30 turns before I stop and change something and start over. I anyone else tests it, post and tell me how it goes.
lol, sorry for the spelling mistakes on my previous post.
The last line should read If anyone

itkotw a slight flaw in your soloution to Building non horse
by changing inf units to being cavalry it meens spear units will get a bonus defending against them (as the game THINKS they are cavalry) and with the main greek units being Spear this screws the infantry...

Ok, people, this is my gift for all that are with great expectations on HTW 2.2. I'll be away for a week. It was a long road till now. Kom, I'll pack you this bif model that will be the base for all mount units. No, no need to change coordinates. And with the 3D model template, building cavalry units is quick. Just need the characteristics for the units. Have a list with details for my comeback. Me and Sir Moody talked about solutions for horse units that give a lot of options. I'll explain it in my mail. Thanks again Sir Moody. it was a brilliant idea. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/cheers.gif to all
Flip .... /falls on knees.... WOW great work http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...-2thumbsup.gif
Did horses look like that
I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times but what will be in the next version? When will the Romans appear?
Next update around the end of April
Romans in a later addition

I really can't wait, great work lads http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
Nice work, Flip.
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
Wow I know I'll still be playing HTW well after RTW is released http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif
Fantastic work as always, but what's up with the horses? The cavalry look like Nubian zebra riders http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Anyway, I'm drooling already thinking about the next update. Thanks for all the hard work. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif
Hey I was wondering, could we see some pics of Flip's elephants? Will they be in the next version?
I´ve only said, that there are technical problems with creating elephants (size problem), what I´ve understood what Metal Storm explained, but if we could find a way to make them, I´m sure, that flip will make them.
So lets hope that it will work.
awesome cavalry http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif
