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

[TWFanatic]

I think I will release it tonight...but it will hence forth just be Fanatic's Phalanx Mod. I'll probably include the necessary files if you want the aquilifer for your first cohorts, however you will have to decide which unit you want to remove in order to use it. If you have Alex.exe, you should be able to add the aquilifer without having to remove any units.

Already done (taking the aquilifer model/texture from the 1.0 release), tested a moment ago and it works

Since we don't have to wait much, I think I'll wait :P

BTW: does that mod will include also chariots and elephants, as in 1.0 version?

They have already been changed with 1.1, it's in "Gameplay changes":
* Added more hitpoints to elephants and chariots. They still disapprove of javelins and refuse to stand for them.
Also, in "Minor changes":
* Elephant armour primary/secondary switch.

However, I don't know if their changes are substantially equivalent to those made by TWFanatic, since I've not tried elephants/chariots out yet (in 1.1), and I hadn't the occasion to play with/against them with 1.0 after installing the minimod

Sunshadow is right. For that reason, I will not edit the elephants or chariots. Just the Macedonian and classical phalanxes.


Almost done...

So, will there be edited only phalanxes, or hoplites too?
And I suppose not only Maks, but also for KH, Ptolemies and AS, => all powers using the "Macedonian style" phalanx, as well as "classical phalanx" (i.e. hoplites), like in 1.0?

Correct. Hoplites too. By "classical phalanx", I mean hoplite phalanx.

Awesome! Too bad for my girlfriend this weekend, it's going to EB campaign time. I was starting to suffer from withdrawals... ;)

Lol, know what you mean.

Yeeeaaahh!
That's really good news!

+ the problem with ALX.exe seems to be solved, and it also seems that the problem with new (1.0/1.1) Imperial and Evocatae cohort will also be solved with use of "old" 0.81 models and skins... now I can start modding a little under the ALX engine...

First some corrections under "ordinary" RTW engine, then - for ALX engine (after necessary minimods are released => Spoils of victory and (maybe?) Konny's Roman Trait mod (or maybe I'll only change requirements for Triumph, to be easier achieved (maybe higher percentage probability depending on Influence a,d max. battle odds not 0.7 but 2? (well my Romans quite often fough battles as almost full stack against enemy full stack armies, but with enemy having worse quality troops, the odds were usually 1.2 or so... (for example against Germans or Gauls), while in reality victory in such a battle was almost certain Triumphus in historical Rome (though I think that in Large battle the percentage of killed enemies should be at least 50% or maybe more... as well as capture of Gader and Mastia/Nova Carthago should be more valuable than is now).
