Hey man, I'm really impressed with your submod, I'm even playing with it right now. I especially love the supply lines mechanic. It's really neat!

I only ask for a method to bring back banners for the campaign map. I just feel really odd without them. Thanks so much for your work!

[GRANTO]

thanks for the feedback, i will sort that file out for you for banners back and pm you,
i will be updating this mod also when rio releases the next version ..cheers

Hello Granto, I would like to use this sub-mod but with the strat map banners (and with the borders too, if it's possible). Can I do it by just not copying the terrain, texture and map files from your folder ?

EDIT : mmmmh, I guess it worked.

[GRANTO]

yes should be fine , the banners changes are controllled by the standards file and yes the borders by terrain , ...please report back on your campaign with this mod...id be very interested to see how you fair....

I don't know if I'm good for testing cause I'm not a particularly good TW player and I didn't play the M2TW vanilla (didn't play at all between R1TW and S2TW) so I don't have all those reflex with settlements economy and all.

Oh & I also cheat : I use "toggle_fow" when I don't know the geography of my faction. I think that's it's normal not to be able to see your enemy's moves and numbers but in the same time, how come my people don't know the geography of their own lands or the neighbor regions.

Actually, if there were to be a IB2 manual, it would be nice to have a kind of topographic map included.

About the banners, it's a very good idea you had : we shouldn't be able to know precisely of how enemies' troops when there's no spying.
But maybe it should only be if the region is not under your politic/military control. Because a moving army is making a lot of mess, it's easy for the indigens to detect it. At the exception of irregular/skirmish troops of course ; who are trained not be seen.
Actually, the only reason I didn't want to use it is because I realy love heraldry and banners and I felt those generals with their raised fists were looking like syndicalist leaders. I know those are pretty lame arguments ;-)

The supply system is really cool, it reminds me of BYG's supply wagon ancillary.

But anyway, I'll tell you how my campaign goes :-)

[Yerevan]

The pace and lenght of battles with your sub-mod is perfect !
