[DenniZ]

Super!! +rep

[Drakkar]

Thanks!

i'll try it out!

gosh ... i cannot test one CAI or BAI that there is another out ...

[finneys13]

- 4 additional provinces in ireland: Londonderry Limerick Longford Charlestown

Derry was only renamed Londonderry centuries after the game, so it should be Derry, Trim was a more important Midland town than Longford, Limerick is fine, Charlestown was built in the 19th Century, try Sligo or Donegal instead.

Looks interesting, I'm eager to try it out.

By 'best' physics what are you referring to? I was looking up darthmod, and he was very vague in terms of any real 'physics' he brought to the table. I tried out the entire mod in a custom battle (granted, it was only one...) and didn't notice much of any change at all. In fact, the only significant change to 'physics' that I saw were the mounted horseman...who now, instead of having one full charge and vulnerable after charge, now always seem to charge and annihilate just about anything. It's a huge power-up of the mounted knights...not much of a physics upgrade...or am I missing something here?

i will list a few drastic changes
tidier units
horsemen running over units
penetration effect
visually appealing battles in contrast to original

sweet azz!! down loadin now!!! cant w8!!!

BATTLE AI:

to be more precise, i have left the unit stats unchanged. everything else that affects the battles visually and presentably, formations, battle tactics, etc, were changed and if you do not notice the differences, maybe there is something wrong with the install

BATTLE AI:
you may all know Darth Vader's battle physics is undeniably the best, and knowing that he's retired and granting us permission to use his work, i've included his battle physics. though you should note, this is only a minor glimpse of the capabilities used under DARTHMOD 1.4D.

Hi!
thanks for your work, really appreciated.

I tested Darth BAI 1.4c, in SS 4.1., VH battles, Big Armies, Rc 1.3c and it was really good but it was a little bugged in siege battles (expecially when enemy Ai was attacking).

Did you fixed that in this 1.4d version?:hmmm: cause probably in Ss 5.0 with the above settings could not work properly ...

Why is the downloadlink down?

[fadegs]

Since the DL links are down, can someone who have downloaded the file attach them or upload them somewhere where the rest of us can download.

[TempestKhan]

This is just woot i need thx man all rdy tested it an it works fine never in stainless steel have i got such an epic battle with the ai i was down to 20 knights an 90 pikemen an bout 50 musket when the battle was over the ai Calvary even flanked me an their Calvary didn't just charge in to my pike formations rly nice job man.

however there is only 1 - that is when the enemy general falls or your own 75% of your units run away like little girls dunno if i set every morale to excellent if that will solve it but anyways thx for making the battle worth playing

[fadegs]

Nvm. Download link seems to be working now.
