[BC 2.4.2] : Standalone Patched Version - [Preview + Download] RELEASED!

Even though I always liked this mod for its "personality", I would always lose battles as Romans... Are they so difficult to win with, or was it just my idea?...

That's because in vanilla their units are underpowered. I mean cataphracts with 5 layers of armour and fully armoured horses have the same armour value as about 20 other cavalries. Also they use javelins a lot but they're useless because the vanilla javelin animation is broken. My advice is to play RR/RC submod but unfortunately it's not compatible with BC 2.4

I played BC (always as Rome) years ago, but the battles were hard to enjoy! They were frustrating, as I was mostly losing or gaining Pyrrhic victories. Never tried any sub-mods though... Somebody needs to raise their battle statistics.

Players felt the ERE was dominating the campaign and destroying other factions in the original version of BC, but that was possibly because of campaign balancing issues. In rebalancing the game for BC2, subsequent modders weakened the ERE both on campaigns and in battles, the latter being unnecessary. I think balancing issues have mostly been resolved. Maybe start a new campaign and let us know.

Yeah, maybe I will. But I still think flame-throwers should have already been included...

I'm about to start my first game in BC and I have four questions:
- is the Germanicus' RBAI (in any version, not necessarily 5.7) included in BC2.4?
- to confirm: the range of horse archers more-or-less the same as of foot archers (130-160) and the advantage of foot-archers over horse-archers is their vulnerability to arrows due to very high profile, while the advantage of horse-archers is their ability to flee in case of an attack from hand-to-hand combat units.
- to confirm: some strong, mounted units have the attribute "free_ukeep" (two turkish, a few KoJ) - this is an omission and no free-ukeep is intended in the BC.
- I have gone through the "export_desc_unit" file and I have two problems. 1) I cannot distinguish on what basis the game if a unit is "fast moving" - does it take this information from the "Mount" feature - that "Fast pony" makes a unit fast-moving? 2) how "powerful charge" is coded - it should be an attribute, but is does not appear in the file; its also unrelated to "can_formed_charge" and "heavy horse" - there are units which don't have this feature, but in-game they say posess "Powerful Charge" (and do it).

Congratulations guys !!!

ByzantineBoy, did you change the recruitment pool replenishment to reduce stack spam? I've been busy and the guy helping me apply new values to the recruitment pool disappeared.
