New Landscape

[Anyan]

The landscape in the BI is not very interesting for real tacticans, I maked new its and gameplay now is more various. Other changes in my mod:

The landscape is very strongly changed, I have tried to make by its maximum various and
interesting, add mountains, hills, bog, changed a climate also are added, in mountains the new
passes have appeared.
An opportunity to play almost for all fractions, except for eastgoths and rebels

Weather (SkyMod with my additions) is changed

The conditions of a victory are complicated
Occurrence of the mercenaries more often
The occurrence rebels is reduced by a minimum, but large groups
The income and bonuses from buildings and resources is strongly changed
The ruler of construction of buildings for some fractions is extended, for example now ports can
build all

The parameters of protection are changed (the role of a board) is increased, is hit (on one for
all but Druids), are added to some groups formations or specially Opportunities
Changed of property of instruments and towers
All fractions now can be under construction horde (type last chance before destruction, and it is bad when the fractions disappear, it means the close end of game, and it is necessary to
us?),unints thus at them appropriate.
The majority units taken for 0 turns
The range of a course on strategi map to a card is increased, as пров it is less also distances
between settlements also have increased. (to increase quantity(amount) of provinces it is
impossible from behind empires etc., and it is not necessary, at Expansion of the Barbarians it,
and under other circumstances and epoch other business)

and same others changes

Mod for BI, install very simple - only copy, old campaign (saves) can be continuation without problem, but will be better if you begin new campaign.
necessarily delete file map.rwm before start

Also, can posting about any interesting landscape here

P.S. Sorry for my badly English

Welcome to the forum. Can you post some screenshots of your landscape?

[Frog]

looks good but id like some screenshots before i download it

[Anyan]

2Red Baron Thank large!
2Frog of course I expose a few screenshots here.
Mod is to be in a condition of development still, therefore I shall let out patches to it, very need for good feel battle the real colors of units! At the screenshots below you can see Roxolan, i think what that color is better, more real then pink, violet and brightly dark blue..........brrrrrrrr. i hope doing its all skins more real at future

I present new archive for download. (700 kb http://slil.ru/22474102 ) Now behaviour АI is changed, I hope to best . Some discrepancies are eliminated, are amplified(strengthened) Saksons by way of economy (than more money at АI have by that the best armies he will collect)

[Anyan]

i foggot say, this is now normal,often landscape, but not rare!

There are problems to download the mod too slow and the line crashes. It would better to upload it on the twcwnter if it is possible.

When RTW was in a state of being prepared it was advertised that terrain would be very important to tactics and strategy; for example, slingers and archers on foot would be agile enough to run up a rocky slope to pelt the enemy but horsemen would be unable to follow them on to that terrain, giving the missile throwers an advantage over cav in that terrain.

This was never delivered on and unfortunately it has meant that RTW and BI are poorer in tactical possibilities as a result.

Has your mod rectified this shortcoming?

Spelt 'Factions' dammit, 'Factions'.

Not fractions.

I wish people would get this right.

Theres a bit of a mistranslation between German and English, I THINK, that causes certain members to do that.

This is third version of mod New Land http://slil.ru/22478147
(mod have 667 kb, i think not very match? format of archiv 7-zip VERY good!!!)

Headly news is add many new lakes, mountains.
fixit some bags at strat. map
Correction horde of lombardii (its have too many archers in stack)
New version of AI behavior, more effective formations

[Boudicca]

In Germany the word "Fraktion" means a "group of people", one could translate it as "party" or "faction". I think most germans tend to transfer it into english language by just recalling it "fraction". Even I looked up a dictionary before writing "factions". So sorry for us being so damn stupid...

by the way: Those landscapes are very beautiful. I would like to fight my battles on those fields.

Do you have a file for the lanscapes only? I am not interested on the other changes. I only like to use the lanscapes.

If you want install only landscapes, download archiv and copy 4 files from folder "\bi\data\world\maps\base" , not forget delete file map.rwm before start game

[Anyan]

i find in my mod seriously gluk, but not understanding where is problem..... game play only from saves, not want start new campaing... because need first copy all files without folder base, then start game, saved it, then copy folder base, delete map.rwm and continue game
problem in .tga.dds files for landscapes, but were?

2Cadmium i not know any rocky slopes in RTW or BI (also shrubs), i think creators have many ideas but little release on practice
2Boudicca hello west barbarians from barbar of world!

[LordSaradain]
