    Default Historical battles for IBFD idea

    Hello IBFD team,

    I have an idea. I think it's do able.

    I like historical accuracy and battles.

    Is ANYONE interested in creating a historical battles mod which would include historical battles of significance for the IBFD era?

    Let's talk people.........hellas1

    You can count me in as well. This may fit in with an idea I had while ago for some online battles for IBFD.

    I modified all of the historical battles that I have for RTW: BI to fit in with IBFD, scripts working for Chalons, Adrianople, and Badon Hill...I can try to dig them up, if you'd be interested. I'll have to make credits and such as well, but I can try to find them if you'd like

    Hi all,

    I would like to see an broader hist. battles list than the vanilla bi, 2: chalons and badon hill including those.

    Some juicy battles: arab, vandal, goth, frank and the roman civil wars
    (ie. Constantine and Maxentius over the Milvian bridge?).
    Yes, these would be suitable for this mods time period folks.

    Which reminds me: what are the exact dates of this mod again please for me to start research on important/pivotal battles?

    Thanks for your enthusiam everyone! Your great!

    Would Justinian/Belisarius be a bit late for this mod? The campaigns of the reconquest of the west would be great!

    I don't see why not, though by that time the units would look a wee bit different but the same can be said for adrianopole and 4thCE.
    I would even like to see some Arab-Sassanian battles during the Rise of Islam
    my email is public in my profile but anyway its krz_0ne@yahoo.com will wait for your files b4 uploading the update... I really couldn't get the walls to work

    Would you guys will need to change some files to make the battle editor for BI work in IBFD?

    haven't tried it yet but movie_cam and sprite_generator switches works with -mod: switch, it might be possible to do battle edoitor as is- since bi is a mod in itself, strictly speaking biut will have to test that

    I think that IBFD/data/ must be changed to just data/

    @Ramon

    When you will need a Badon scenario remember we will make a version of it too and already have a good scenario

    I've already modified all of the battles that I have (Including Badon Hill and Chalons) for IBFD, units and scripts included. Ramón, if you would like to give me a PM with your e-mail in it, I can zip them up and send them over to you, and perhaps you could include them into your modification for the next version (Credits of modificacion for me, but the battles made by their original makers, of course)? Let me know, amigo

    I can do research to make more battles once we can get the battle editor working for IBFD. Would you like a copy of the battles I've modded, hellas1? If so, PM me your e-mail

    I have tried and the battle editor works as is just add the line '-enable_editor' to the shortcut, I have tried playing around w/ it and have made a Hephthalite/Sassanid battle scenario.
    I posted my email there in my post (#10)
    A Vanilla Badonicus and a more well researched one would be great, same w/ Chalons

    The only problem with the editor is because of the new map, locations aren't always exactly placed correctly so you have to do some guessing sometimes.

    I could not get e-mail to work/send it properly, so I have chosen to upload it to MEGAUPLOAD. The link for them is as follows:

    Give it a test. Tell me what you think
