[Submod]More visually historicaly accurate battles. V5 Updated for DEI 1,1 .

Yeah, there are some very nice and realistic charge animations but they seem to happen only once in a long time, for example after playing RTW2 from day one, I noticed one great animation only few weeks ago.

Could you describe the animation?

[Aethyr]

So is there a simple way of adding it for the interim, at least to the best we can for now?

Sorry, but I don't understand. What do you mean excactly?

[Aethyr]

To get maximum cool kill animations with minimum matched combat

I don't know. Really. I'm sorry.

[kruma]

guys, after lot of trial and error here is a setting that look fine, pretty balanced between matched and formed combat


melee_formed_charge_matched_combat_percentage 300
melee_formed_vs_formed_matched_combat_percentage -300
melee_formed_vs_free_matched_combat_percentage-300
melee_matched_combat_percentage-300

+ add the line:

melee_free_vs_free_matched_combat_percentage 300

I am not sure if it does anything or not but i still keep it in my pack file

I noticed that quite some cool animations happen when an army is routing and the chasing forces charge them or kill them with the above settings

Thanks ill be working this in tonight!

Guys, please give some feedback if you also tried to play the numbers around?

[McCarronXLD]

Thanks. I' ll try to increase the amount of rare animations also but I will do it later because I will be on a trip the whole next week.

(Quote from your main thread) Do you think you could do this for DeI as well? I think DeI removes some of the killing animations. I'd like to use your mod, add back in those killing animations, but make them less frequent in comparison to the current killing animations. Just want them to be there. I don't understand modding animations though!

I'll start modding again after a couple days because i am in a trip. I'm going to modify the animations frequency anyway. It was a part of my plans.

[McCarronXLD]

Great! Have a good trip.

Thanks.

I noticed with this mod enabled Pike units will no longer thrust with their pikes, and they "wiggle" when in combat. I tried re-enabling secondary attack to see if that fixed it and it didn't.

I'm trying to make a new version now. Thanks for reporting that bug so I may be able to have it fixed in the next version.

No problem and that's great to hear!

[McCarronXLD]

Seems like it isn't a problem with your mod, but with DeI. Not sure what causes it but it isn't a problem if I revert back to vanilla.

I believe KAM mentioned in another thread why they wiggle. Something to do with how far they stand from each other or something like that. DeI changed this to remove the Rome I mowing everything down ability from them. Like a compromise. Have extremely OP pikes but no wiggling or have a slight wiggle and more balanced pikes. Bear in mind Im not totally sure though.

Any updates? I'm deeply interested in spicing DEI's battles a bit.
