[Download & Installation] Divide et Impera 1.3.2a - Updated April 16 2023

[Arturo777]

Yes, I meant "Fort" stance. Anyway AI in battles against Scythians and Armenians was fine so it might have been the Fort map. Will report back if I notice the issue again.

Hello! i am very new to PC gaming and modding so i am feeling a little out of my depth putting a mod onto my computer. Is there any safe guards i should do before downloading a mod to make sure the original game code doesn't break or so i can revert to the vanilla version? if so, how do i do those safe guards ? lol. I would really appreciate the help as i have just built my first PC and don't want to mess any of the software up. Kind regards Rhid. P.s. this mod looks spectacular by the way!

Hello,

You can just turn mods on/off. Mod dont change games files in Rome 2.

oh okay, thanks kam! In which case, i will download this mod straight away!

Do you turn them off in game? or in the code?

Sorry, last question. I saw a dynamic battle mod on steam, where you increased the attack b 40%. But you also showed a video with some very cool animations and blood. Are those animations and blood in normal DEI or do i need that dynamic mod to see them?

cheers,

Rhid.

[KAM 2150]

When you start the game, game launcher pops up, you can turn mods on/off and then press actual start.

In case of Dynamic Combat, all animations are from DeI. Blood is from other submod I installed manually long time ago and file is just called "bloodbath". I know it is also somewhere on Steam workshop, just under correct name.

Hey,

sorry, i need your help. I have downloaded the mod. Unzipped them in the correct file and made sure they were there. However when the game sends me to the steam launcher, there are no active mods there in the mod tab. I tried playing the game and ticked the boxes in the game that saids allow mods. Then restarted to see if that worked but still unable to launch divide et impera. The data files are definitely in the correct data folder, so not sure what to do. Please help?

cheers,
Rhid.

The alternative is to try the Steam version of the mod.

Hello.
I had a fort battle against Rome as Carthage.
Enemy just lined up in front of my front gate and literally just stood there for no reason. Once I have used all my missiles I charged them, otherwise fort archers would finish the battle, immediately after I charged enemy units did all attack on my frontal unit... Normally they would go around other gates, keep some at reserve etc.

Astonishing work guys, well done!
your mod did really revived my interest of Rome II and made me even more excited about experiencing the game play like I am playing it for the first time.
As I didn't know about this update and thought that the mod is long done and no more updates, I didn't think about posting the things I want to see them changed or improved.
So I am gonna say them here just in the case for the probable future updates:
1.The Epirote Phalanxes' small shield(the "Parma") is not unique to the faction, tho the Shields of their Hoplites are unique with that emblem that looks like a tailed chair and I like if it was more early and late unique pike units for all Diadachoi, you know this Chalkaspides is so typical among almost all Diadachoi factions, for example you can keep Chalkaspides as an unique Epirote phalanx unit with those unique shields(I recommend you to play RaW mod for M&B and see their good looking Parmas classified for militia, medium and elite Epirote Phalanxes) and replace Phezetairoi phalanx as Chalkaspides for Makedonia(not sure for the Selucids).


2.I always liked the Boeo-Phyrgian helmet in RaW mod for M&B and as soon as I found out about DeI, I hoped I could see this helmet as a new-added thing with the mod but unfortunately I just saw a not really cooler variation of it used mostly by Thracians with lower brim.
This was mostly used by Hellenic shock cavalry specially companions and Thessalians and in some cases by non-Diadochoi Hoplites.
Here is the pic of the helmet(there are also a silver version of it with and without an Athlon):https://www.nextpng.com/en/transparent-png-wjbbo
Good luck and health be with the team!

[KAM 2150]

Chalkaspides is the correct term for Diadochi regular phalanx regiments. Epirote phalanx was in fact pretty same as Macedonian one as it was recruited from that population.

That helmet is cool but sadly we dont have anyone who could make it for us at the moment.

[Viva iran]

That so, at least can you consider modifying their parmas in which way they(E, M & S) look unique although being the same Chalkaspides unit, you know like the hoplites of these factions being unique in their shields?
I found a link of them Parmas:https://www.moddb.com/mods/rome-at-w...-parma-shields
And here is the 3d model guy probably involved in making some of the items including that helmet:https://www.moddb.com/members/rgcotl

Quick question, do blood and graphic mods affect the unit animation tweaks and balance introduced in 1.2.6?

[Dresden]

In theory they should not unless they change UI files.

[KAM 2150]

And sometomes blood modes also change some combat related tables. Best to open them with PFM or RPFM to check it they dont include any combat related tables like melee_weapons of kv_rules.

The mod I use is D.E.I. Graphics Enhancement MOD. It's in steam and it mentions, blood, camera, dust, smoke, flora, trees, environment texture changes

Does it change tables etc.?
