Eldorien's [MOUNTED and DISMOUNTED] Byzantium Units Reforged v1.0 for SS6.4+BftB2.0 [Released 11-02-2012]

[Lord Ragnar]

Hey Ragnar,

At this very moment, i play late era BGR IV-E Gracul AI + RBAI campaign with Eldorien sub-mod.
I simply saved the campaign_script.txt before copying Eldorien's files. Then i simply switch the files and all works fine , with all BGR features. So, step by step:

1. Launch the setup
2. Choose your settings with BGR enabled
3. Exit setup once settings loaded

4. Copy originally generated campaign_script.txt file
5. Install Eldorien's files ... by copying them (accept to overwrite original files)
6. Go to the folder you copied original campaign_script.txt file
7. Copy original campaign_script.txt (overwrite Eldorien's file)

It works fine with BGR IV-E as i said, didn't try with Vth version though.
Hope it will work for you as well, 'cos this sub-mod is absolute gold

@ Eldorien:

I have tweaked replenish ratio and recruitment time to give a chance stupid AI hehe.

Ie:
Scoutatoi units - recruitment time = 3 turns
Castrophilakae - recruitment time = 3 turns

Now, let the world tremble and weep ... the Mighty Romans are coming to take all what belongs to them

Thanks my friend, at the min I got this from a fresh installation. SS6.3/6.4/Bftb2/This mod and Tadah. 20:10:28.156 [system.rpt] [always] CPU: SSE2

[Double-head of North]

great units bro!!excellent work..keep going!!

p.s.this is working only in late era???

[Eldorien88]

@ΠΑΟΚΑΡΑ!
Yes its meant for late. But try this: download all ss.6.3 ss6.4 bftb2.0 and my B.U.R and during that dont run the set-up at all.
Try then starting a campaign and check if it set by default in early era... I hope you get it

@FERDIAD
Well my friend thank you for that comments, it makes me blush....

@V.D. check that also about early i think it may happen

[vtec.dominion]

Yes, Late Era only.

@Eldorien: I don't play early at all, too boring for me.
Now trying to fix the compatibility with BGR as my game simply crashed after few turns.
Guess i have to implement all your units manually ;/

Sorry for that my friend, but it wasnt meant with BGR on...
Hope you find a way doing so!

[vtec.dominion]

Got it working properly now Looks like the new bodyguard unit name and description given was a main problem. Tweaked few files, switch the name and description, removed few entries and it's done! Damn, this sub-mod is to good to give it up

So, if anyone want to play with BGR-IV E , let me know, i'll provide the files you need.

Very well doneIf I may ask of you for the files, as I might then understand how to get BGR-V working. Oh sorry I missed your last request of that line report I had already removed the complete file. But lucky for large hard drives i can enjoy the mod of SS6.4 with a wide range of add-ons Great respect

[AnthoniusII]

My friend eldorien88 i am happy when i see more and more people to model.
But ...there is to much black color in your textures.
I hope that you are not AEK fan..

[Eldorien88]

@Excuse me Lord Ragnar, but in order to understand correct, are you having those ctd's when trying to apply BGR?


@AntoniusII, but how did you understand that????????????
But, despite that its also more unique and warish to my view...

[TheRomanRuler]

Wow...... Can`t say anything else.... Wow... So cool..

In fact the majority of the shield insignias had naturalistic or geometric paterns.


Don't afraid to add colors.
I am ΠΑΟΚ fan...should i paint all in black and white?

Well nothing to be afraid of.... As i told you its all about "different views".
And to add more, i have used black for main colour and you have used in that wonderfull unit red, isnt it so?

[Hydra82]

Hey just giving u praise on your great mod, I think mentioned this in a post before where I said you should keep the contratoi and light byzantine units as they are the bread and butter for early game and armenians as they were a major part of byzantine military history and its great that you did that! Looking forward to playing your fantastic mod!

Exactly my friend, that is something you have mentioned along with another friend, and it was taken into account as you can see
This sub-mod is for the people's pleasure and thats why feedback/ideas is always appreciated.... Glad that you like it!

[Double-head of North]

[Eldorien88]

Only the last attach, [EL88 - B.U.R v1.0].
All other files are left in case of backing the old version
