Updates Thread. 1.0 Now Released!

Yes, ill put it in red, AND make it bold, then nobody can miss it.

But seriously, the installer didnt break anything. If its installed too deep, it becomes redundant, and if its installed with the new folder tag, again, its redundant. Unless its installed to the exact right place, nothing will happen, you'll just have a few useless files that the game wont even read.

So to recap, dont blame the installer

I agree with you. It´s working exactly how it´s supposed to be.
You wanted to give people that are not that familiar RTWs file structure and easy option to do this fix but some people even manage to screw the easiest things up .
Personally I prefer doing these small fixes manually because
a) it´s faster
b) it prevents me from blaming the people that make those installers and stuff if there appears a problem.
If something doesn´t work that way then I´m sure it´s my own fault and I won´t fill the forums with statements like "ZoMg This thing didn´t work for me therefore it must be crap!"

Yes, i agree, its a shame people cant get it right, but yano, people do just ruh, and i'll admit the installer isnt the best installer ever (it adds that annoying "New Folder" tag)

BUT im working on changing the installer text (if GI makes a 1.4) so that it will say ON the installer to delete the tag and stuff.

I think this post is of paramount importance for this thread!

Have a look at this and add the basic information to your guides and instructions as it will prevent people from asking these questions again.

Tested new cavalry armor settings with AoTxLoGiX and they seem spot on. 6 units of GG Spartans was firing on 1 GG unit of Pergamon Cataphracts, when their quivers were empty they had killed 9 Cataphracts. Seems about right.

Thanks to AoTxLoGiX for test help.

They don't only Companions have wedge as it is proven without doubt that they historically used such a formation haha

Wuts that thingy????

The wedge (έμβολον, embolon in Greek; cuneus in Latin, colloquially also caput porcinum, "boar's head"), was used by both infantry and cavalry. The men deployed in a triangular or trapezoid formation with the tip leading the way. According to Arrian and Asclepiodotus, the wedge was first used by the Scythians, and then the Thracians. Philip II of Macedon adopted it from them as the main formation of his Companion cavalry and Alexander the Great faced Persian cavalry arrayed thus, as Arrian attests. The use of this formation enabled the concentration of missiles against a limited front and thus was used not only to smash into the enemy line, but to also add to the effectiveness of long range, usually hurled weapons like javelins and hand axes. As an infantry formation it is attested by Frontinus to have been used by the Romans in Pydna against the Macedonian line of Perseus.[1] It was also used to great effect by the Roman legions, with the wedge proving effective in campaigns in Britain, such as during Boudicca's Revolt, where a greatly outnumbered Roman army used it to defeat the Iceni. In the Late Roman army, several cavalry units were designated as cuneus [equitum].-wikipedia. It is crap the originators of cavalry warfare (scythia,persis)dont have this
