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

Hey, TWFanatic; a moment of your time, if you will:

In your description of the mod, you mention that without it hoplites "break formation and charge like unorganized rabble", and with it "they stay in a tight, orderly formation and slam into the enemy as one..."

So, apparently, it is almost impossible for a phalanx to maintain cohesion during a charge, and they didn't organize back into a line until the back rows had caught up with the front. That means that the old style of charge was actually correct.

And, to be clear, I'm talking about regular hoplites, not phalangites.

TWFanatic, I've noticed that in this version you don't have this "ultra push". Or am I the only one not having it? I actually prefer this version rather then the radius change if the ultra push is gone.

Ultra push?

What's that?

And I think he might not be around anymore.

Where they pushed into a formation into seconds, even breaking a Macedonian Phalanx in seconds.

So do I just extract the export_descr_unit contained in the "sp game edu backup" folder into the RTW\data folder?

You should do it to: C/The Creative Assembly/RTW/EB/sp game edu backup.

Hello
i downloaded your mod once and it worked perfectly,(i'm using BI.exe) then i had to uninstall the game and redownload your mod. however this time it doesn't work.... i've even tried extracting it to the eb and BI folder, but still nothing changes, please i really liked this mod!

Maybe you should try to place the Export files manually in the correct spots (sp game edu backup + mp game edu backup).

Thanks Phalanx. I guess I was confused by the instructions to extract to the RTW folder.

Hey Svenn, I recommend that you backup your saves & reinstall EB coz u've messed up with the EB files.......ur saves can be found in Rome - Total War/EB/saves.....after reinstalling just place ur saves back in there........

Now, my query to TWFanatic..........I m currently playing as Makedonians.....I want to modify the macedonian phalanx by increasing their lethality........How to do that ????? also is ur mod compatible with other mods such as alex-eb engine & allied armies...........
