R:TW pro mod

First of all - there number of unit types is very limited - heavy, light, missile and spearmen, I think, which limits the possibilities a lot.

It does. There are some special types, they are listed in both of the descr_formations, but it's still no enough sometimes.

The other problem is a little bigger - the game says it's NOT compatible with vanilla in multiplayer when I've made these changes!

No, it probably won't be.

And I'm (the one man form mod team) in EB now, so my vanilla mod is currently halted.

Damn, I realized it's probably impossible to keep the multiplayer compability if you are to change anything at all in the txt files... Maybe I'll have to change the main goals of the mod if it is to have a chance. I still have plenty of other ideas though, and now I'm free to add and remove units as I wish.

How about you make a small convienient patch so that multiplayers can download and install very quickly before play...

What do you mean? The main problem is that if I make this mod incompatible with vanilla in MP, most of the online players will NOT have this mod, and I'm back where I started - it'll be hard for users of this mod to get someone to play with online. Grr, I'll see if I can find out how compatibility is determined and see if I can override it. I can only try some very basic things though, and it's probable that the compatibility test is quite complex so I might not succeed. If I do, there's hope for this mod.
