wow, you were quick to react on that one, thank anyway for that one,( i'll remember that ),
I just was becoming desperate because i was trying so hard to make the dds file the right format because i thought that was the problem but it turned out that the entry in the EDU still had mercenary_unit, turned on en because of that the skin did not change it works now, which is great .

[Mataputas]

...it works now, which is great .

Pics?

[Farmo The Pagan]

Pics, I'll post them as soon as I'm satisfied with the texture, I've only tried to get them to show up in game till now and it was pretty bland,
and i dont really like copy pasting, I try to (mostly create a texture myself ,for cloth texture's that is armour is just to hard).
so I had to experiment because when in Gimp zoomed in on the texture it looked like it had nice detail, in game it still looked to bland,
but I think (read hope ) I'll be able to show some work this evening, we'll see how it goes.

Edit: ok here is a screen of my mod, they aren't the crossbowmen (obviously ), but these are the sergeants


sorry for the quality but when i put the resolution up or quality weird happens like this:
if someone knows what that is please tell me because that is the main problem why I cant play MTW2 any more

[Mataputas]

Something of the sort happened with LOTR TW. I'll ask Bardo how he fixed that...

Hello everyone
I am currently working on an edu in medieval stile: The heavy cavalry is strong in charge and melee,but it's not very large in numbers and expensive, less powerful archers, and more.
Now, I'm testing the lethality rate

Nice! Could you make some tests reducing attack by 10% and increasing defense by 10% for all the units? I think battles would be more tough and last longer that way...

I strongly recommend using the MP EDU as base, cause it's much more balanced than the regular one

Don't really know... you should ask LOTKs

[LordSimpkins]

Ok, so I decided to release my little growth rate reducing project. (I tested my mod aeound 20 turns and no CTD). Download file, extract it, copy it to RomeMedievalMOD\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder. It should reduce growth rate by half and reduce by little money income. File doesn't take effect on saved games, so you'll need to start new game.

Make desc_regions file backup first !!

This is an example of the power of heavy cavalry in my edu

You could call it "Mounted Gods mod"
And... did you try those stats in game?

yep
Historically, the medieval heavy cavalry was what we now call MBT (Main Battle Tank). To beat the heavy cavalry, the generals have invented a new warfare (Pike & Musket).

As you can see
"Spear, 30, 0.15"
The attack of heavy cavalry is slower than the infantry attack. In addition, the heavy cavalry is much more expansive than 5 unit of infantry!

And finally,
"soldier RM_Feudal_Knight, 11, 0, 1"

There are only 11 feudal knights at medium size:
11x2=22x2=44 at huge size!

The sarge:
"soldier RM_Sergeant_Spearman, 50, 0, 1"

50x2=100x2=200 at huge size

Editing Pikemen to be more powerfull when defending against cavalry is a good idea. I would say that a trained pikeman unit should probably be expensive. Although, not as expensive as knights.

The pikemen have all bonus against cavalry:

Edit: Sorry, but with the school and Halo: Reach i don't have a lot of time for working to the edu. I will release as soon as possible

[Mataputas]

I think the max amount of mount_effect is 3. You should check that with Aradan, or read the Complete EDU guide, I'm almost sure it says something about that

ah lol,you are right...

P.s.I added the muskets, the grenades and a provisional harquebuseer unit.

[doccarnby]

In response to my worries that the Mongols were underpowered, I decided to go about making them stronger and scarier. My hope is that I didn't make them too powerful, but I'm not certain. I made them not as insanely strong as my first try, but I'm still not certain if they're too powerful. Since I just modified some numbers, I don't believe it should cause any CTD's.

-I increased the attack of almost all Mongol units, save for peasants
-I increased the amount of arrows the archers carried (perhaps too much)

Any help, feedback and/or criticism would be most appreciated.

[Mataputas]

I'd pump up unit costs... now they are extremely cheap...

For example, Khan Archers, with the new stats, should cost around 990 (now they cost 400). Of course, that's just my oppinion.

Yeah, I was thinking that too, but I was also trying to think of how to also maintain that hording thing they have going for them. I was thinking that most people don't play as them, since they're designed nonplayable, so a minor increase in unit cost would keep it slightly skewed their way, while also keeping them slightly managable. Of course, Custom Battles are something completely different...

[Mataputas]

Do they show up when playing custom battle? Cause perhaps they are AOR units, which means that they can only be recruited at specific regions. PM me and I'll explain you how to get what you're looking for.
