How to make Historical Battles

[AmbrosiusAurelianus]

There are still a couple of queries, I would like to know where the weather file is and how it works and about this deployment thing. I wonder if your modded units will not appear because they are not exactly files in the same place as the ordinary units. I found the shield icons in a file recently and wondered if I could change the shield image. Oh by the way faction 14 is Burgundy! Obviously a test faction. I do not have any modded units so I cannot experiement.

In the RTW mods forum, NinjaCool has posted about 15 historical battles which are very good. I mentioned this guide to him and have asked how he does the RTW ones. I have not even looked at it yet.

Sorry, I cannot help you with the weather or the deployment. If you are thinking about installing a mod then XL is the best IMHO. I've tried BKB's and MedMod, and both are good, but XL is the best I think. Thanks for incorportaing the stuff on images into the guide.

I have played NinjaCool's Battles, and yes they are good. It would be nice to try to amke a few for RTW.

I think that you can edit the shields, I found the file once too, but I think that it only really matters if you want to edit campaign factions; I don't, so I've never bothered. There is a blank template set that someone made. I have it saved somewhere, but I have forgotten where I downloaded it. I could e-mail to you if you wish.

At the moment I have been busy with RTW, so I have not been doing much MTW stuff for a while. When I get back into it and make some new battles I'll send them to you.

Thanks for the great guide... are there any examples that anyone has created which we can try out?

Watch this spot! I think DragonCrusader is planning to upload a few when he can get the chance.
