    Default Famous Battle Campaign Markers

    Just wondering if there are other requirements for a 'famous battle' marker to appear on the campaign map other than a heroic victory.
    Also, is there any way to edit the requiremnts for them, or is it hardcoded?
    I've had a few heroic victories which haven't given me a map marker, it's rather annoying.
    I've already searched the forums, but couldn't find an answer.

    I think there is a requirement to do with the battle odds (ie 2:1).

    Possibly, although it's not that pronounced, as I've got markers at 4:5 odds. I think there is a requirement for the army to exceed a certain size. IIRC I also saw a marker disappear, once, so perhaps the game allows only a certain number of markers. Not sure about that one, though, because it was a long time ago (back in the 1.1 patch).

    I've never had a map marker dissapear on me before, thats a new one.

    Do you think both sides have to be above a certain amount of units, or only one?

    Yeah it has to be at least 2:1 against you but there also has to be a good few troops on the battlefield. Like 1000 or something. Thats why you don't see many sea battles with Famous Battle

    I think you not only need to win against odds, but must absolutely pwn them. Like I got one where I had 6 HAs agaisnt a ton of thracians, I killed almost all of them, they killed like 7 of my guys.

    I think that you have to defeat them pretty nicely, but as the AI gets markers too I'm sure that the odds mustn't be too bad at all, just against you. I've also seen markers for the senate on the sea where they were about 3 units of biremes which won against some Greek ships.

    Then how come my generals bodygaurd vs. a large gallic army led by a decent general at odds of 1:4 against me didn't get me a marker even with a heroic victory.
    Bit unfair ain't it.
