Best most epic battle I played was after downloading DM

The most epic and best battle ive played in Rtw till now (after ALL the mods ive played) is the one i played while playing darth mod, it was a custom battle, i wanted to portray the civil war between Roman Rebelions and Roman Emperors armies, i was Western Rome and they were West roman Rebels, and i made us both have very good armies, and Very hard difficulty and you know i was sweating (no the AC wasnt broke

) while playing, the first time i ever actually concentrate on defeating an enemy, the AI was soooo good and smart..in the beginning i thought i lost the battle..

Thanks Darth, your mod is the best ive played in RTW, and i really hope we get a Darth mod for M2TW.

This is what I tried to do in priority...and also if you start a campaign you will anticipate many surprises by AI armies even smaller than you! Quite humiliating but true.
And not by any kind of cheating (AI chevron bonuses and bigger armies)...just balancing the game and reliefing the AI from its discomforts.

I just hope MTW2 will not need my modding....

thats too true. the small armies can be devastating if they have bonuses (forest bonus etc) in normal mods but in DM they can be a blow in any terrain. im loving the battles and how the AI can all of a sudden out smart you making you lose many men. a heavy cavalry charge is nasty in the right places of your battle line which they always seem to find. It is easily the best mod for challenging battles.

I also have to totally agree with the people above. my closest battles have been with Darth mod. most epic and satisfying.
i have lost battles with vanila or other mods, but its not a good feeling to lose to a few family members swarming u while they get like a +7 bonus. its a lot more acceptable to lose to an army with a mixture of units with smaller bonuses that dont defy physics.

i had a few battles in which i really had to protect my generals (i lost a couple before that), and my troops had to fight bravely to their death. few times, mine and the enemies armies were both reduced to 10%.
charging and recharging of cavarly can be cruical,
protecting ur general is essentia
killing enemy general is vital

in one of my campaigns, the enemy general managed to get aways TWICE as the ONLY one alive. meaning his whole army died, including EVERY SINGLE ONE of his bodyguards. he was the ONLY one. so the guy ended up getting 2 really nice traits, giving him +6 and +2 hitpoints at the age of like 20. in the end managed to kill him in a city where he couldnt run away anymore.

this is SO SO SO SO much better than the suicidal enemy generals in vanila. here, i tried so hard to kill him but didnt succeed. in vanila, u didnt even have to try sometimes.

THANK YOU darth vader. love ur mod.

btw Ramadan mubarak to killerxguy

As I'm here I'll hand it to you darth for providing me with epic battles ten times out of ten. I love the mod, and I haven't had so much fun in battles since medieval 2. Thanks!
