Hey guys. Status update: I'm quite busy IRL atm, and so am patiently waiting till the endless stream of DeI updates have cooled down before making a serious go at updating my submod. ETA unknown.

Aeimnestus was a Spartan, famous because he killed the Persian General Mardonius at the battle of Plataea.

Can't wait for the .8 version to come out, im eager to try this bad boy out.

Ha, so true.
I just lost 4 generals between 2 consecutive battles. Rome 2 without his mod is no fun.

i agree, but slight with a slight change to your statement. DeI without this mod is no fun, Rome 2 without mods is unplayable.
oh, and whats up with the "rotating" units in vanilla DeI battles, annoying and it looks awful. they never hold a line, always rotating or re-positioning their ranks like retards

Exactly.
Re: Aeimnestus Ancient Battle Realism submod (Version 1.3.1 - compatible with DeI 0.75c))
yeah hope you get the new versions out asap
Re: Aeimnestus Ancient Battle Realism submod (Version 1.3.1 - compatible with DeI 0.75c))
Double edged sword: I simply cannot play DeI without this mod....stuck in inactivity until it is updated.But when it is done, much more satisfying experience.
Hoping it is out soon....

When this MOD will update? PLZ!!
Re: Aeimnestus Ancient Battle Realism submod (Version 1.3.1 - compatible with DeI 0.75c))
is there any way to get the 0.75c version of dei so i can try this one?

Re: Aeimnestus Ancient Battle Realism submod (Version 1.3.1 - compatible with DeI 0.75c))
Not any more I don't think. You shall have to join us in our mouth-watering wait for a 0.8 compatible version. Doesn't help that DeI keeps updating and hasn't had a stable release in a while.

You mean .85. since .85 will be out in a few days.

Ahhhh! Come back, this game was so much better with your mod. I need my fix!
Re: Aeimnestus Ancient Battle Realism submod (Version 1.3.1 - compatible with DeI 0.75c))
I've gotten used to standard DeI battles, but sometimes I miss the slower more tactical battles of this submod. it was really a different experience, and it was amazing having to actually work for a win, having to think and try to figure out "ok our lines are locked, how can I win this battle....". It felt like the battle was decided on tactics and formations rather than individual units beating each other.
Re: Aeimnestus Ancient Battle Realism submod (Version 1.3.1 - compatible with DeI 0.75c))
I'd imagine from the prior statements that once the inevitable rush of .85b .85c etc has calmed down, then the submod will return [IRL schedules permitting].

I wonder if anyone could pick this up just to get it up to speed. This is probably the best submod in my opinion. I would do it but I would need some help. Took me days just to figure out how to get rid of forced march, which was really easy it turned out, but this is huge sub-mod and I would have no idea where to start.
Re: Aeimnestus Ancient Battle Realism submod (Version 1.3.1 - compatible with DeI 0.75c))
does this mod remind anyone else of Roma Surrectum 2's battles. f'ing awesome

Re: Aeimnestus Ancient Battle Realism submod (Version 1.3.1 - compatible with DeI 0.75c))
I have been thinking the same thing. I am in the same boat as you, it seems very complicated to achieve what this mod has done. Maybe we can start a thread on the main page recruiting guys until the man himself returns to continue his good work.
Re: Aeimnestus Ancient Battle Realism submod (Version 1.3.1 - compatible with DeI 0.75c))
well, the heart of the mod is in the unit stats, isn't it?
It would be tedious work, but I imagine going through and updating all unit stats to match Aiemnestus' changes would be a start.
