    Default Custom Otumba battle

    First attempt at a more realistic Otumba custom battle (both the Spaniards and the Aztecs are playable):


    A pathetic little army of 300 Conquistadors, with a small contingent of faithful Tlaxcalans, against enemy Aztecs that outnumber them more than 4 to 1.

    Much great carnage ensues, and conquistadors make a heroic stand, but cannot help but die, swarmed by the hordes.

    A surviving Conquistador, wounded and alone, charges into the thick of the enemy by himself, surrounded by bloodthirsty enemies.


    "For Saint James!!"

    Hist men mostly dead, Hernando Cortes takes what's left of his annihilated but heroic unit to make a desperate charge, one last time.


    "Once more into the breach, my friends."

    Cortes and everyone else are slaughtered, to the last man. Pavisers are the last holdout, and with nerves of steel fire point-blank into the enemy charging at them, prepared also to receive them on their swords, and to die here today.

    But alas,

    Miraculously, the natives run! A victory, paid dearly with blood by all of the heroes that fought and died this day. The two Tlaxcalans, surviving due to Spanish courage, will live on to tell great stories of men who came where the sun rises, and carried all that was before them.




    Attached descr_battle.txt (first thing to change is to probably give Cortes a matching GoodCommander 4 trait, or else take it away from the Aztec chief, else it's too unbalanced in Aztec favor).

    Where's the Otumba folder? I'm assuming these new .txt files aren't in the same place as the Rome .txt files, because I'm totally clueless on modding M2TW.

    It's in your SEGA\Medieval II Total War Demo Gold\data\world\maps\battle\custom folder.

    Yep, create it. And edit the pack files in the manner specified by the "modding the demo" threads.
