If I need to edit the pack to have the deployment zones just a little far apart, what data do I need to change?
I've also noticed the smaller the deployment squares, the better for the AI to have an organized battle formation, 1 line skirmishers, 2 line melee attack unit followed by a 3rd line reserve
Yes I play 41 units a stack

does this affect auto-resolve at all? More specifically, does autoresolve consider deployment zones a factor in its calculation?

Doesn't need to be updated, works just fine

<3 love it thx

thank you for the mod, thumbs up sent

Hello idiots in the comments. It doesn't need updating, like several other mods. Works fine. Now screw off and play some Rome 2.

Yes, update please, because Ultimate Grand Campaign mod that's recently become very popular has your mod on their recommended list, so there is quite a few people looking at this mod again, that's why you're seeing the activity.

If you are willing and have the time that'd be great.

Do people want an update here? It wouldn't take me very long

Another dead mod due to the update.

Update?

обновите пожалуйста!!!

yup its working, just rename the mod to be at the top of the load order, just put a 0 right before the name no spaces

@Philip, last time I checked it was but you have to rename it so its at the top of your mod load order, will try again now and confirm

Is it no longer working?

Update please.

update pls

Hello, could you please update your mod to work with the latest patch? Thank you

Still works :)

exelent

Working fine for me on patch 18.

Hi thie mod is critical , please update ;)

I'm just curious how did you make this mod? Did you just edit the deployment files or use the editor?

Hello Philip and Rohirrim, just wanted to ask if you would please update this mod

Hi, Philip, thank you for your great mod as well as the inspiration of cml editing wherein! I'm now struggling with battle.xml editing for historical battles concerning unit position coordinates and orientations as one may be actually unable to manually type coordinates for every unit I guess? I wonder if you have the time to guide me in this, and if convenient add me for me to communicate with you, thanks bro!

Sweet!

Further explanation: I've copy/pasted the values into the respective xmls (north, south, east, west) and created a mod pack with those in it, but to no avail.

I think I have a basic understanding now thanks!

What I'm trying to do is import the deployment zones from TWW/TWA (they both use the same values) into ROMEII, but when I go to do it, the changes don't show up in game (in custom battle or campaign battle).

Any thoughts?

Love this mod btw.

Each point of the compass denotes the direction of the attacking party. I believe an approximation is made on the campaign, depending on the angle of attack with an army stack. North serving as point of reference, if alliance ID 0 is the attacking side (I'm going off memory now and it may actually be the other way around), they will have the lower Y values in that file, because they're south of the defenders (i.e. attacking in the northern direction). Conversely, in the south.xml, the same alliance ID (0) denotes the defending party instead, and ID 1 denotes the attacking side. The simplest method here is actually copying the values from the north.xml, pasting them in the "wrong" place, to to say, in the south.xml. The northern alliance ID 0 definitions should be pasted under the southern alliance ID 1, and ID 1 under southern ID 0. I realize that may come off as a confusing explanation, but that is how you will perform it.

Thank you! Very helpful! So how do the "north/east/south/west" xmls relate to each other?

It works just like a coordinate system. Each dot, which contributes to the overall borders, is defined with an x value and an y value. Every dot is connected to the next one in descending order. If your goal is larger zones, you want to increase the difference between the highest and lowest x values (or, indeed, you values) of the defined dots.

I understand that the values denote a position for the deployment zone, but I can't figure out how to make it smaller/bigger etc.

How were you able to figure out the meaning behind the values in the xml?? Lol I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Yes

Is this Divide Et Impera compatible?

Muchas gracias por el mod ^^

I think this is fine if you can see where the enemy is set up or if there is no artilary. If there was a mod that adjusted map size based on the presence of artillary it would be more fair.

Divide Et Impera compatable?

Awesome mod! I realized after playing medieval 2 that I missed closer deployments and luckily there is probably a mod for that too. Thank you for your hard work guys!

Can you also make a version with extended, thus bigger, deployment zones ?
I like to manouvre them in realtime to the battlezone, and that way positioning is nicer.
