How to up Square Formation

[Lord Shadowscar]

Hey gents of Darthmod. I've come from playing Europe in Conflict--no complaints, just decided to try something new--and one of my favorite elements of the mod was the way that once you formed square, cavalry was SCREWED.
And if square wasn't formed, uh oh infantry.

Anyway, I was wondering if I could up Square Formations potency in Darthmod. I don't think that cavalry charging against a wall of bullets and bayonets would get off as scot free as Darthmod sometimes does. If the potency can't be upped, can I at least make cavalry suffer a huge morale penalty when facing a square. Thanks!

I dont know about your experience but when calvery hits a fully formed square they dont usualy fair well at all.

In EiC...when cavalry charges the square they are immediately disrupted with negligible infantry casualties whereas the cavalry routs off of the board. In my opinion not very realistic....in DarthMod they get stuck in and cause a few more infantry casualties but they definitely suffer for it...but thankfully they don't rout off the board on the first charge unless decimated to a third or so of their original number. That has been my experience with both mods. Though I like EiC I prefer DarthMod.

I like the DM squares like Ankhenaton, the great Pharaoh, proclaimed; I find it more realistic that some cavalrymen actually get stuck in the square, trying to flee for their lives instead of looking like they ran into a brick wall, stopping dead in their tracks. I like EiC as well, but I must say... DM never seizes to disappoint me in any regard ^^

Thanks General Brody Forest... . Darth's tweaks definitely enhance the realism factor. I remember way back when in Rome Total War when Darth put out a formations mod...it was so much better than vanilla that I incorporated it into every Rome mod that did not already have it.
