how much of a difference to the darth formations make, and if it is a big one why?

They made a big difference in vanilla R:TW, but less so in EB. Still, Darth's battlefield A.I. organizes it's forces somewhat better and performs somewhat more creditably. I prefer Thorloff's adaptation of Sinuhet's formation files, though.

I also Like Sinuhet's formations better. I would really prefer to have his formations done specifically for EB rather than Thorloff's in which he but his own changes.

Using Thorlof's adaptation of Sinuhet's formation without the other files (IMO he changed a bit too much) gave me a case of battlefield CTDs so Darth's have been adapted to EB and I must say I'm very satisfied with how the AI does. I basically get beat bad on Hard and suffer quite a lot of casualties on Normal (as opposed to before) so now Heroic Victories are not such a common sight anymore.

This is what happened to me with Darth's formations last night :




Ptolies broke thru my wings and surrounded me ,so i got pummeled big time
Armies were same quality.I wouldn't call it average defeat though , they crushed me , and my army was no good for anything afterwards.

I don't remember when was the last time i lost on M battles, before this.
