Shieldwall

[Foot]

Using shieldwall from BI on units in EB without altering the original EB stats is unadvisable as it will imbalance those units.

Then spear-armed units are disadvantaged. For example germanic lancemen are useless without shielwall.
BTW, has anyone made minimod to rebalance EB for BI?

Just out of curiousity, why? I'm just thinking about it....shieldwall doesn't do that much does it? What I mean is, it just brings guys closer together and there aren't any defensive bonuses given, are there?

Once again, this is simply out of curiosity, and I'm not disagreeing with you or anything. It just got me wondering if BI's shieldwall gives a + to defense stats.

There's a plus to the defence stats .

Thanks, Bovi. :)

Yes, that would probably imbalance all of your guy's hard balancing work. Maybe I won't use the BI.exe. :(

[Spoofa]

why? BI.exe alone, even without shieldwall and things helps alot what with the AI and such.

[Bootsiuv]

Yes, but ferromancers installer includes shieldwall, and, if I remember correctly, it's a real pain in the ass to do it manually.
