If you'll PM me your e-mail address I'll send you the Hastings version I have done, after some final changes that I at last have time to make. At the moment I have not reprogrammed any of the AI in the Historic Battles because it already does what I want: all I'm doing is changing the units, flags and the like to suit me. I have been tinkering with TheSilverKnight's excellent Bosworth battle so that I can play as Richard III; then I shall do Stamford Bridge with the proper banners and units.
I'll rewrite the stuff about the flags into something coherent, as you requested. I think that it is good that the moderator is allowing us to continue with this discussion, because although I am sure that it is all very obvious to those that have been modding for ages, it is notoriously difficult to get replies to some basic stuff if you're new at it. There is some good stuff about modding factions, units, and campaigns in the archives, but not so much if you just want to change historical battles. As you said before they are basically a custom game with more options. The last remaining thing that I don't know is how to use units from mods in them. Hopefully time will tell.
