[Du Silence]

aww, I Messed up something with my Data files, I Remember correctly leaving all the txt. Files in their place but Now when I Try to start up the "battles only" Mode It basically gives me "Error: Britonic slinger not found" And some other things, I Cant do the battles only option, Can someone help me with this at all? I Thought about Re-installing but I have a Roman campaign savegame going that I Am tightly holding on to, Is there a way to keep savegames without losing them on a Re-installation? thanks guys

Does it name a txt file? If so, it'll be fairly easy to rectify I'd say.

[General Sultan V]

which is your faction, and against who are you fighting

[Grimbold]

He's playing as Carthage agaisnt the Greek City States.

[Sertorio]

This ones are from WWC (When Worlds Collide), its a submod that replaces one of the factions for the Achean League. Its for 2.1 though.

[mishkin]

Awesome screenies!

True.
And he use flaming arrows that so the picture looks better, that is to make an art of war

[17kimd]

One unit of free men peltast against Spartans. Also how many hitmarkers do soldiers have? In Greek Extended Mod (XGM) there is a choice to have one hitmarker. I used my missle units (One Spartan archers and 2 peltast) and I only killed 4 men of Athenian Hoplites. Is it two hitmarkers or is it just that their defense is awsome?

[Conqistador]

You mean hitpoints?

[jimmy425]

i never thought this would happen but the Seleucids beat parthia

delete/sorry

[mishkin]

Yes, incredible
17kimd, if you mean hitpoints, soldiers have just one, i think only elephants and maybe ballistas and those things have more.

[Tar-Elendil]

export_descr_unit.txt

It's found either under the factions folder -> data, in your RSII main folder.
If it's not there, then it's in the Data Folder in your RSII main folder.

Find whatever unit you want to add this formation to, then go to the Formation Line.

There'll be 5 numbers, the 2 first ones are for the Tight Formation.

Also, I posted a mistake in the given numbers, instead of the 2nd nr. being 1 straight, it's 0.66.

Another thing about adding this, expect that it'll make the unit rather powerfull in hand to hand combat, along with cavalry defense.
Reason is that you'll gain a local superiority in numbers, which means that more of your men are attacking the enemy unit in front.
As for cavalry, it'll simply be effective vs. such things as Cata charges, since it reduces the impact area, and stops most horses dead in the 1st rank.
I expect it'll be paradise for elephants though, they'll gain more hits than usual when the formation is this tight.

Oh and phalanxes shouldn't have such tight formations I figure, they'll become unbeatable in physical engagements from the front.

My suggestion is to only add such dense formations to units that have the Shield_wall ability.

Okay, got it, thanks alot! Have some +rep!

Hmmm. I wonder why its so hard to kill units with missiles.

[Du Silence]

Hmmm. I wonder why its so hard to kill units with missiles.

Depends on circumstances.
The change in stats from Vanilla to RSII are rather high, that means that the armor modifiers are also very high.
To get maximum effect for your ranged weapons, try firing in the backs of units, you'll notice a killrate skyrocketing.

Attack their back and right side (to avoid the shield).

[General Sultan V]

Attacking most units straight ahead with any type of Light missiles will do little damage, however raining down on them while they are running/Charging does more damage, the best way is to attack from the sides or better yet the rear, this is one of my favourite tactics, once battle is joined, I Send my ranged units if possible behind the rage of battle, where the enemy is, and hit them from behind, it can do extensive morale damage and kill lots of enemies regardless of the type of missile, slingers excel at this tactic but they need time to break the enemy, unlike javelinmen, such as peltasts, Who can easily reduce a unit with the missiles they carry, however they run out fast, when ammo runs Out I Charge them
