Battle formations reforged – version for DeI
***Feel free to use my other DeI submods, especially Politics reforged and Diplomacy reforged. To make Diplomacy reforged and Politics reforged compatible with each other, use this mod.
This is a version of this mod but prepared for DeI.
Conducting some tests I discovered, that because of the fact that DeI changes the class of hoplites from inf_spr (spearmen) to inf_pik (pikemen) the vanilla formations (which means that also vanilla formations modfied by me) doesnt work properly.
To put it briefly – for all factions, except greeks culture factions – game doesnt know where to put hoplites, so it puts them together with general, behind the lines. It needs no further explanation that this leads to a complete disruption of the formation for factions which use hoplites and not belong to greek culture, such as Carthage.
To prevent that, I added pike units to formations of all other factions, so now it should work properly (except that in case of greek factions the pikes units will be mixed with hoplites units, but this "problem" occurs even without this mod and for now cannot be fixed).
In order to ultimately resolve the abovementioned problem I defined a new sub-class for all pikemen units, so now greeks factions formations works properly – pikes are in the center and hoplites on flanks. Unfortunately it required to make some changes in DeI db_tables and to be more specific – in main_units_tables, so until now the mod wont be compatibile with any DeI submods which includes that table and possibly it will have to be updated in the future if new DeI versions change any parameters of pikemen units in that table.
If anyone want to appreciate my work also in other way than giving a feedback here is the way[paypal.me].
