how do we make our own historical battles

In order to make historical battles like are already ingame, you have to have a ridiculously intimate knowledge of the script they use in game. But, if you want just simple battle w/o prebattle vid and such, I would just copy one of the existing historical battles in world/maps/battle/custom and modify it to your own personal tastes. There are some historical battles done in the dowloads section I think - if you are really serious about this you might want to PM one of them.

can't you just use the battle editor?

**Publius** · March 26, 2006, 07:02 PM

Ya, but that is really user-unfriendly (I thought) and for some reason whenver I used it it would crash at random times. Still, you could use it if you are brave

i have never used it, but i know that you can use it to nake historical battles.

ill do whats easiest

Do you want to create a specific battle, or do you just want more to play? If you just want more, I think there is a thermopylae and Watling Street battles in the downloads section.

No. There is a space between them otherwise the shortcut wouldn't run.

**Publius** · April 11, 2006, 05:49 PM

are they outside of the quotations?

**Kallikratis** · April 12, 2006, 10:33 AM

Yep. But if the command is correct, where the battle editor option should be appeared?

**Publius** · April 12, 2006, 08:28 PM

should be displayed under "options" I believe

**Kallikratis** · April 14, 2006, 12:25 PM

In the "main menu" or in "single player" ?

**Publius** · April 14, 2006, 02:56 PM

The main menu. Options is the second to last icon or whatever on the page. If you DO have the battle editor enabled, it will be at the bottom of this page

**Kallikratis** · April 18, 2006, 03:56 AM

Do you have activate the editor with "-enable_editor" command? I don't know why but I can't do it. Should be a patch applied on the game or something ?
