___Darth Dark Formations 16.2 “Super Pack”(Updated 10/10/2006)___

[avesta]

This formations pack provides formation files for both RTW 1.5 and BI. So to answer your question, they work with both. If your using Darthmod, installed on RTW 1.5, then use the appropriate Darthmod version provided in the download and as stated in the readme file.

I used the files from the folder "1_DarthMod_8.2_Internal_Formations_16.2" since I'm using darthmod 8.1

But when I play, I group my army, and I only have about 6 or 7 formation buttons available. I don't have all the ones listed in the original post in those pictures. I have Greek Theban, Arab-Persian, Alexander, Roman Manipular, Generic, Single line, Barbarian onslaught. Are you supposed to have all of the ones Darth listed?

I see what your saying. The answer is no, as unfortunately the human player is limited to being able to choose from the 8 predefined human player formations in the descr_formations_txt.file. The AI however, will deploy in all the formations seen in the pictures your referring to and of course some formations are dependant on whether BI is being used or not. For example the "Byzantine" formation is a BI only formation. Also note, if you play as a faction like Carthage, although the "Carthage Poison Formation" is not one of the 8 predefined human player formations, so therefore it cannot be chosen when grouping your army. As a Carthage player, your forces wil be automatically deployed in this formation.

Sorry for the long wait, I'm pretty much the only one who stalks this mod any more.

Should I install this on the latest Darthmod 8.1? Since it states it only includes 16.1 and not 16.2 - thanks!

Yes, install on top of 8.1

I'm probably a complete moron, but I can not figure out how to run the installer for this mod. I've downloaded 8.0 and 8.1. Do I need to extract the file so I can view them? Please help!!
I have Steam and Vista if that helps.

Please read this thread.
The downloaded files have an installer, run the 8.0 first and point it to your main Rome directory.
Then install 8.1

The link for the 'Generic stand alone' version doesn't seem to be there? Can anyone help please?

Also, when installing for Invasion Barbarorum do i install to the BI folder or to the IBFD (invasion barbarorum) folder (it's mod foldered)

EDIT: ah i think i understand - you unpack the same files and then select the folder appropriate to the mod?

Pretty much yes, find the folder that contains the descer_formations_ai.txt and copy to that folder.

Sir can u help me .. i will install patch 1.3-1.5 first then patch 8.0 - 8.1? answer me plz

[Spartas Julius]

It has been forever got me a new computer nothing too fancy but after so long with a broken one I finally got around to get me Roma Surrectum 2.5 and Darthmod 8.0 Friend gifted me Empire Total War.

I have a very... annoying issue which believe me I have searched before coming here but I've found only small posts of others saying the same thing but no way to solve it.

I am playing Darth Mod 8.0.1 Platinum Beta, at least the launcher says that.

When I play Siege Battles, I siege a town, city and every single battle has been in open field. Was this suppose to be intentional?

Please help me fix it, I dont understand why it happens and it bothers me to the point where I dont want to play. The only siege battle I ever did was against a small town in the ETW vanilla version. And that was only because I was playing while your mod downloaded. I am not sure if this is just part of Empire Total War... or if is the mod. I google and google but I cant seem to find anyone having talk about never having siege battles.

if this is the mod can I turn it off where Sieges end up in attacking the town or Siege assaults do the same?.. If this is the game ETW itself is there a way to increase the probability of it being a city battle?

I just come from RTW: RS 2.5 so I apologize siege battles are as essential for me as bridge, and open battles. And I haven't found Bridge battles either here so I'm not sure.

Any help or if this exist somewhere else redirect me if needed.

Thank you.

I have a vanilla RTW v1.5/ BI 1.6. Then i install <darth Generic formation> by copy and paste to the according directory. But when i start a battle it always crash. Why is it? Can anyone help me to solve?

[Suppanut]

Dear Darth Vader

I am Suppanut from Extended Cultures Mod for RTW. May I using heavily modified content from Darth Dark Formations of both RTW and M2TW as basis for formations files (along with Sinuhet's RTW/M2TW battle system and Germanicu5's ReallyBadAI) in Extended Cultures Mod in Rome Total War?

With high regards,
Suppanut

[Hazzard]

Does anyone have any links to the Darthmod version of this?
