    Default Still having issues with formations...what am I doing wrong

    I downloaded and installed the 1.1.5 patch and overwrited all the files and i remember placing the formations folder into the data folder CATW/Data.

    I took this screen of a custom battle..



    Also I cant seem to get prometheus cities to work and I beleive the movement speed for all troops should be decreased a little, they zoom across the map at a super human speed.

    Thanks,
    Eva

    Sorry about the double post and the constant problems. but I was wondering if you thought about adding in some more building choices on the campaign map, the ones that are there are the ones from the original RTW and their a bit dull, if you can somehow implement more building choices,

    for example instead of just being able to build temples to one god/goddess from a choice of only 3, make it to where all the gods/goddess's are presented, and maybe some governmental buildings aswell, like annexation, client states, or more income buildings like for example in RS2 the have a complex system of wine trade, fish, olives, etc.. and you can build them all.

    The main jist is, this mod needs a building overhaul.

    I got to admit, this mod blows other mods away with uniqe units/animations. If you work with more campaign/building things i believe this mod will exceed europa barbororum and even Rs2.

    I will reduce the movement in the next patch.

    Prometheus cities, paste them into your main RTW data folder. Do not try too put them in your CATW data folder.

    As for formations, which faction is this? Or is it for all factions.

    I was wondering if you thought about adding in some more building choices on the campaign map, the ones that are there are the ones from the original RTW and their a bit dull, if you can somehow implement more building choices,
    Yes, I did think about that and it may or may not be on my list. (Depends on my time)

    It also requires scripting so the AI will build the new buildings. RS2 is lucky to have a massive team of experienced modders all specialized in certain area's, over here its just been Coco, myself and Anarchon working on CATW.

    I got to admit, this mod blows other mods away with uniqe units/animations. If you work with more campaign/building things i believe this mod will exceed europa barbororum and even Rs2.
    Thank you very much, that means a lot to us.

    Hmm, I'm not sure if this problem is native to CATW since when I play Seleucid it works for me, I can post a screenshot if you wish...

    Sounds good, this is a custom battle btw. Could it be that it only works on the campaign?

    Don't think it makes a difference. Those are files that are loaded in every battle.

    Hahaha. As usual Eva, you were right. There is something wrong! I was having a stare down with the descr_formations and then I finally realized the file I realesed in 1.1.5 is an old file I used in my early modding days in 2006!

    I completely forgot to add the updated version designed for CATW into the patch...my mistake haha. I'll fix it in a new patch soon. I had wanted to stop releasing several fixes+new content at a time as patches and just upgrade the entire version to 1.2 with a much larger amount of them.


    edit: to hell with it, I'll just release it now as an emergancy patch
