Updated Tighter Formations - Now for Version new DLC!

[Skyline Pete]

Hello all,

Just a quick release and rework of the unit_land_stats file to reinstate changes previously made in regards to rank and file spacing as previously visited by lesterthenerd (kudos to you good sir!)

This new file has been edited to allow CA's new unit stats balance to come into effect, otherwise people using the old tighter formations mod will not see said changes.
Find mod attached - the ONLY changes to the unit_stats_land file has been to shrink the rank and file spacing.

Install Instructions:
1: Extract file using winzip/winrar
2: Place file (not the folder) into your Empire data folder located in your Steam directory
3: Using the Mod Manager, select the mod as it appears in the list
4: Profit


Please let me know if I've missed anything or if anything weird is going on.

Ta,
Skyline-Pete

Goodie goodie gum drops +rep !!

[ARCHIEIKE]

Brilliant, thanks a load!! +rep

[Godless Pickle]

Thanks man, so far only Darthmod has imputed this! Does this effect the AI or any thing else?

[hooahguy14]

i still crash. does this mod conflict with either the blood mod or the battle flag mod?

it doesnt crash when im choosing armies, only when in battle, right before the opposing forces clash.

[Okuto]

odd.....I can't get it to work.....it's a patch file right? I pray it's not mod file......

[Preussen Gloria]

Okuto,it should work,it's a pack file,just place it in the data folder,and then use mod manager 1.5 to activate it.

[Okuto]

negative....didn't work for me, it's a patch file so it should work if I just dump it in my data folder...at least that's the idea right?....I really hate having to use mod manager that's why I don't use smoke mod and I'm hoping that I won't need it here since the last one was just a dump and go.

[Okuto]

ah bugga it's a mod file...sigh wish it'll be a patch but I'll manage

Everything seems to be in working order,but for some reason the French line does not seem to be included in the closer formations,they are still vanilla spaced.I checked and it seems to be only affecting them as it stands right now,is this intentional?for I know the French had more open order than their contemporaries at the time.Just thought I would bring this to your attention

Hmm.....I will have a look shortly mate, could very well have been overlooked due to my using the French Revolution mod. Will investigate and update if necessary.

Thanks.

Edit: Yeah just had a look and can't see what you might be running into, the value for French Line Inf is exactly the same as all other nations. Are you using any other mods that might change French Line Infantry in any way?

[Chevalier IX]

ahh,you know what it might be the values in something else I am running after all that I didnt know changed these things.thanx for looking into it,I will check ibto it and see what else i am running

Hi found alittle bit of a problem with the grenadiers seems there to close together so that when they throw the granades some drop to the floor and they blow themselves up lol. anyway to space them abit more apart?

[Nordo]

Looks like we're going to need an update for the new 1.4 ETW version of Sept.22nd...

[Emilio Aguinaldo]

Damn, you need to do something bout this? It is incompatible with 1.4

[Rickster11]

Yeah, really need this back. Can't stand playing the old way.

[Skyline Pete]

Attention all:

See first post for 1.4 update!

[nzmaori]

what exactly does this mode do??
just tighter formation??

Correct, this lowers the space between each man and then each rank (line of men).

Makes large formations of units much easier to place and also makes the game just look a lot better because that's how they fought back then, shoulder to shoulder.
