Updated!

**DARTH VADER** · September 12, 2006, 03:03 PM

Filefront issue seems resolved. It just got many simultaneous requests in the same time.

**DARTH VADER** · September 15, 2006, 09:06 AM

So many downloads and none here having something to say as feedback?
How am I supposed to release the final version without your findings?

**Zendjir** · September 15, 2006, 10:27 AM

Probably because most people are still trying out the new AI. I know I am

Don't worry, I'll post my comments once I have something more meaningful to say than OMG!!! THIS ROX!

be patient.

No spartans for greece in Syracyse?

Ops.. Looked further and they are missing in the provincial 270 campaign, not in the imperial campaign.

Greetings my noble Darth Vader!!
I was long time away, because I was tracing the path of Revan in the beyond the Outer Rim. During my trip, I found something in a ancient Sith tomb: Darth Mod 8.1 open beta! I'm installing a clean RTW now (i deleted it some time earlier) and I am eager to try the new Sith powers wich I found. I hope I won't be disappointed. Cheers

I will give you feedback when I play

**DARTH VADER** · September 15, 2006, 01:11 PM

So that is why my imperial probes could not trace you?
This is an artifact! Use it wisely and it wont dissapoint you.
May the dark side be with you...

I've done some tests here is my feedback : I've mostly tested how skirmisher fights now with your new fidings.
- I've noticed that Numidian/Carthaginian formations sometimes mess up when moving.
- Skirmishers are better, the overall battle difficulty seems to I've got pwned badly or won phyrric victories.
- Isn't it better to remove the warcry from the barbarian skimishers ? they often spend half of the battle roaring behind the line like idiots and doing nothing,
- I've noticed that the skrimishers have problems to target and fire ennemy because thier formation is often too scathered.

@Narakir:
Tks for your findings.

- I've noticed that Numidian/Carthaginian formations sometimes mess up when moving.

Hmm..do not use DF16 standalone on them or any other than internal. There was a very rare occasion that this happened for them which is corrected in open beta which use DarthFormations 16.1 as I call it now....not generally uploaded

- Skirmishers are better, the overall battle difficulty seems to I've got pwned badly or won phyrric victories.

It is obvious...really satisfying

- Isn't it better to remove the warcry from the barbarian skimishers ? they often spend half of the battle roaring behind the line like idiots and doing nothing,

No bcs they are very effective in melee. Not so effective as skirmishers (mediterranean units are better) but really a worthy melee opponent with the warcry.

- I've noticed that the skrimishers have problems to target and fire ennemy because thier formation is often too scathered.

It may happen but generally it creates for them an advantage in counterfire and also fill the battlefiled with them...quite a risk to attack skirmisher reserve with cavalry bcs they get too isolated and killed by inferior troops.

BTW I noticed I forgot to put in open beta my fixed sprites for Spartan unit...(they seem to flicker a little now)

Will be available in upcoming patch 8.1....(full mod with 8.1 will be more than 1.3 GB unzipped)
