**********Warning********************************
By default, your own preferences files will be called, however if you are on max prefs, whith UNIT_SIZE:Huge, some battles see 16-18 000 units on the battlefield, pretty close to the real ones. Expect some lagging at the beginning.

*********Notes :*********************************
This pack will be added to the next release of CATW

This pack includes :

- 140 historical custom battles
- 200+ custom battle locations
- two new units: Aristoi & Ekdromoi Hoplitai (Eleutheroi)
- fixed issue with missing pic Epirus Pezhetairoi

Fantastic!!

Glad to see you :P !

Incredible array of battles.Great job.Can't wait to try them with the new version of CATW and the new map.

Yep, i'm not far away... ^^
But as usual i prefer modding than posting.
I was delighted when Rome II was announced. Felt this as a really good surprise. Another timeframe was logically expected.
I'm not involved in modding anymore but other projects like this one, if you are fan of WOT you're welcome : http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com

No battle of magnesia?

Thanks anyways

Hello to all.

Is there any chance of a new download link for these battles? I can not download this file above for the battles, i just get an opened text file.

Sorry for the late response.
Here is a new one on depositfile : http://dfiles.eu/files/0v4v1jkby
http://dfiles.eu/files/0v4v1jkby
Hope that helps.
If you still experience some strange issue on this server, i will try another link.

@Antiochus IV Epiphanes

Not for the moment indeed, but certainly for the next edition of this patch. 200 sounds better.
However for the moment i dropped all the roman civil war battles. I tried to create legionaries for the Boii (ex-senate) to oppose Pompey to Caesar but for whatever was wrong about it the game kept crashing. Perhaps a hidden hardcoded rule for ex-roman faction artificially turned barbarian and then given roman units ? I could never figured it out. Same with the independants (slave/eleutheroi) i reached the hardcoded limit for this "faction".

BTW you can do it yourself with a small trick. You have to be in the campaign map unfogged, then locate the spot where the battle occured, then type "show_cursorstat" in chat mode. Note the coordinates, then leave the game or ctr+alt+suppr to return on the desktop, open custom_locations, duplicate an entry, then change the coordinates with your new ones, change the name, and save. Then return on the game, load this custom battle map, choose your factions and units, and save/play the battle. That's way more simpler than creating a historical battle using the CA tool...

downloading CATW just for this mod. Looks so cool and so much fun. Great work!!!

Download Links are broken

Here you go: http://www.moddb.com/mods/classical-...tles-patch-116.

Thanks. However, for some reason I cannot get any battles to play or load. Not even custom battles. I just get a KTM. With historical battles I get a CTD

EDIT: Fixed. Just have to play with RTW.exe :)
