Battle Map Question

[PrestigeX]

Hey all, am wondering about the Battle Map in version 2.3 -- the current release -- and am curious about the battles / battle map... Are the melee's much longer than Vanilla, and are the formations and unit spacings different than in Vanilla?

I remember playing B.C. when it was new, and only for M2TW and I found it to be so difficult, both in the campaign map and battle map-- now that it's for Kingdoms, I'll have to give it a try for sure, but am curious to know before hand since my gaming comp is not on the net and usb sticks with Huge dowloads it's , tedious )but worth it!)

thank you.

yea the formations are defined different. U could say that they are more loose that Vanilla except for the professional or highly trained units. The melees seem fine to me.... perhaps a bit longer than vanilla but defiantly not too long.

What did you find difficult about BC battles before?

I just remember finding the Battles lasted a really long time -- compared with Vanilla m2tw , and It just seemed to be way harder in the battle-mode -- enemy wouldn't die the way it does in vanilla (low grade troops lasting too long in melee, confusing units CB , RB or something different types of horse archers, weird units for byzantines like javeline tossing pikemen or something , etc).

but it was years ago, probably one of the first versions of B.C. and it's probably way more polished as a Mod as it is now at '2.3'
