perhaps a silly question, but will this work over vanilla EB rather than cunctator's First Cohorts mod, which i dont have (not a big fun of Romani)?

Re: Watchman's take on units (and sundry) for EB with BI.exe
Ahh, sorry 'bout the lenghty absence folks. A while ago I had a total hard drive failure which wiped not only the WIP next version, but also all the little stuff I had gathered for private use (nevermind now each and every other game I had, since that HD was used for them). The acute frustration sort of put me off RTW in general for a while. Been thinking of getting back into the groove now though.
As it went before the drive died, I was building the whole thing directly based on Cunc's mod (might as well for convenience) and was going to include the BI interface files and the First Cohorts' UI pics (which are just a rename of the appropriate Cohort cards anyway - IIRC Cunc's mod already includes them - similarly included for convenience). Mind you, I was also messing around with the availabílity of some regional and shared-model units for different factions (since some of the solutions the EB team had used seemed a bit odd to me, and needlessly left some specific regional-types unavailable for some factions), which involved tinkering with the endless EDB recruitement entries - probably the single most important factor in my severe frustration was actually the hours spent with those coming to naught...
As for the Citymod, I'm not personally fond of the basic idea therein and have thus never tried it so I don't really know how it works (although I assume it mostly involves the EDB and descr_strat files). Integrating the two should as such be viable enough, as the modifications are not directly contradictory, but I suspect it would involve a lot of very tedious copy-pasting. Might look into it one day, but I don't recommend holding your breath.
*shrug* Mostly it just seemed to me the modified Tarabostes base was better suited to the general bloody-minded attitude of the Getai, and I assume their warlords were expected (in common with most warlike "barbarians") to lead heroically from the front ranks. The Ktistai aren't terribly well suited for the purpose IMO, and since the current unit's a placeholder anyway I figured it wouldn't matter much if I changed it.Originally Posted by mcantu
Plus I imagine the Getai could do with decently tough "household cavalry" for early-game shock action purposes as much as anyone.

Watchman--
When you update your mod, could you leave the english translations of the unit names in? Even though they are not all technically correct, they do help a lot...

I guess, although it's going to take some fairly tedious extra work. Then again, sort of my mistake for wiping the English unit names first from the thus far modified export_units...

Is there anyway to get an earlier version of this mod?
