I have been playing the ERE. I have noticed that since I have installed the 1.6 patch the markings for famous battles are no longer appearing on the map. Has anybody seen the same?

Re: Famous battle markings
They show up fine in my current WRE campaign.
Re: Famous battle markings
I thought actually this was happening to me, but it isn't. Although I'm not sure if the old markers are still there.

Re: Famous battle markings
HHHmmmm I wonder why I can't see any. I have just had a battle outside an enemy city. The garrison and reinforcements outnumbered my forces by over 2 to 1. The enemy were wiped out ( only a few troops surviving) and the city captured. I was very pleased and would have liked to have the little crossed swords on the map to remind me... Oh well I will have to try harder next time...

Re: Famous battle markings
Not sure if I`ve got them in BI with the latest patch, but I got three of them in RTW yesterday. I believe the marking system used, is the same for both games.

Re: Famous battle markings
I don't know what changed about the requirements for them in BI, but they are certainly far rarer.

Re: Famous battle markings
They don't happen if they are because of a siege, even if the enemy sallies out with reinforcements and you don't fight with the city on the battle map. Only battles in the open field can be labelled as famous battles.

Re: Famous battle markings
all my battles was in the open field, i ran after the fleeing vandal hordes into spain so they shouldnt take any cities from WRE, after wiping the horde WRE start to attack my army before i could get out from spain, so i had both to attack and defend in the open field, but there wasnt any marks after any of those battles, but defending myself in north east italy against the Goths with almost equally big armies i got one mark one time.

Re: Famous battle markings
I think you need massive armies on both sides to qualify for a famous battle.

RTW V1.5 No Mods
8years into the Brutii campaign and only one famous battle marking.
It followed this battle which was a 'Heroic Victory'.
Ive had a few big battles (not heroic) and one other Heroic battle (not big) but none other produced the battle markings like that battle above.
It was an open field battle even though part of the Greek army originated from Sparta.

Re: Famous battle markings
then my next question is:Originally Posted by Tiberius
how big must they be?
the largest battle i had in spain was around 1200 men for me and about 4400 for the vandals, the kill ratio were 4200 for me and only 7 for the vandals. there were no mark after that battle and it was a heroic victory
in northern italy i had about 1500 men and the goth 2000 men. i got a mark after i got a clear victory i killed about 1800 of them and they killed around 200 from me

Do these "Famous Battle Markings" work for RTW 1.5?

Re: Famous battle markings
I have some in my 1.5 RTW game, mostly from where Gaul was attacking me with full stacks of warbands and I annihilated them with a half-stack and kept getting Man of the Hour nominations. They don't seem to be anywhere near as common as they were in 1.0. I can't remember whether I had any while I was playing 1.3.
Re: Famous battle markings
I got three after a couple of hours with playing.

Re: Famous battle markings
I do have them in my Sass 1.6 campaign.
"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."
Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton.
Re: Famous battle markings
Well it's 225 BC in my Greek campaign and I've only had one so far. I think you only get them with Heroic Victories, of which I've only had one - the famous battle. My captain also got promoted to a general, he had military genius traits + superior commander from the very start! He soon became my faction leader.

Re: Famous battle markings
I was pretty sure i got one from a siege of Larissa as Brutii, but thinking back i was attacked first by an army, the garrison sallied as reinforcements. But i managed to pick up a few of them in greece

Re: Famous battle markings
I don't think you get markers for every heroic victory, but only for the ten or so "best" heroic victories.

Re: Famous battle markings
Sure. Else the map would`ve been filled by famous battle markings..

Wrong, I have a battle marker on Sidon, and on several other cities.
