Sea battles possible?

**Dunadd** · February 20, 2013, 11:14 AM

I was looking at Warhammer Total War, which is a Rome Total War mod. The modder of it says he is planning to make sea battles for it by making sea coloured and textured flat battlefields and using chariots and/or elephants with the appearance of ships and a large crew.

Would anything like that be possible for Medieval II mods like Europa Barbarorum? Obviously it would have limitations even if it worked, but still could be nice if possible.

I'd like to know how the modder plans to get the game engine to actually go to the battlemap when two navel forces clash on the strat map. I'd say at best it will be for custom battles, nothing more.

i've no idea as my own modding knowledge doesn't go beyond the edu, edb, modeldb and descr_projectiles files

No. And especially not for such a big mod.

no one's even shown a working naval battle for RTW. i've seen a single screen and that's it.

I think there was. But no release, and no news for months

No, Sea battles are impossible in the early TW Games.

Ponies must be castrated.

The naval battles in the later TW games are so ridiculous that it makes me glad that they will be absent. Imagine having the wind gauge, maneuvering to ram an opponent with your trireme, only to see him turn into you as if the wind were pointing the opposite direction.
