Fanatic’s First Cohort/Phalanx/Elephant/Chariot minimod

[TWFanatic]

Hey fanatic, I have trouble installing the files. When I try extracting the data folder i get this message;

! C:\Documents and Settings\Johnny Sum\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$DI28.735\'Chocolate' First Cohort, Phalanx, Elephant and Chariot minimod.zip: Cannot open C:\Documents and Settings\Johnny Sum\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$DI28.735\'Chocolate' First Cohort, Phalanx, Elephant and Chariot minimod.zip
! The system cannot find the file specified.


I'm a novice here, do you mind giving a step by step guide to installin this?


EDIT: Another thing, when I extract the folder nothing gets replaced.

That's very odd. I'll edit the topic post and insert a brief installation tutorial for those who need it.

EDIT: done.

short_pike can be added as an attribute to the spear. shouldnt make a difference if there is a sword as well...

Try it yourself. Trust me, it doesn't work - I spent an hour trying to make it work and failed.

Yeh, I've installed the chocolate full mods and the hoplites still fight like an unorganized rabble. :/

Read the installation tutorial and re-install. You must have done something wrong.

So, wait is the "short pike" Phalanxes "Phalanxes"(RTW wise) or do they just look like it?


And if they're not phalanxes why add the spear attribute?

I heard that severely messes up stats.

See the AFTER pictures. They fight in a similar manner as before (no Macedonian phalanx, overhand spears) except that they keep a cohesive formation and have a lot more push. The stats have also been changed, see the changes mentioned for hoplites in the title post. The spear attribute gives them far more push. And no, it does not mess up their stats.

Please read the title post. All I did above was basically restate what was already said there.
