Has anyone ever played a game with the Ligurian list?

I really wanted to, as I like this area. I looked at the units, looked at the terrain and... gave up.

I know, that was fun.

I agree, add more Pike&Shot.
(Oops, it's not what you meant ?)

Interesting ! Thanks for sharing.

Some units ('Brigades') from Odenathus' P&S scenario, The battle of Blenheim (1704) as a starting point for the Squads and ArmyList files : (A thought for this great fellow and modder) "Bayonnet_RG" : MF cost = 63 AP = 10 Speed = 600 TotalMen and UnitSize < 1500 Experience = 100-175 Elan = 100-175 ...

To make this mod viable, there are several items missing or replaced in the Squads file of the FoG2 series compared to that of P&S which, I guess, need to be handled : - No 'Musket' but 'Handgun' (with only 1 square range) - No "HasLight" item for Regimental Guns - No medium artillery - No bayonet (...

Units cleaned up. That's much better : https://i.imgur.com/eZEqt6P.png Here is link if anyone is interested : http://www.mediafire.com/file/o8k00exqnb7eivr/18thCenturyExpanded.rar/file (Tell me if I missed anything. Warning : any modded script, such as CombatTools.BSF or Tools.BSF, that didn't work ...

@Pip : Thank you ! Does the issue only happen for S3F files? If so you can work around it by opening the s3f file in a text editor and commenting out any MESHANIM tags, that is finding any lines MESHANIM and either deleting them, or replacing with //MESHANIM That will simply strip the offending anim...

will FoG Medieval also get some Early Medieval Content? Yes ! Thanks to the Time Warp free module (available soon in FOG2 Medieval), any army from FOG2 Ancients will be able to fight against Medieval armies from FOG2 Medieval. Moreover, the FOG2 Ancients lists whose date range extends past 1000 AD ...

the manual says so but doesn't go further on the topic "Foot can hide in buildings, woods and some other terrain. They can only be seen by nearby enemy or if they shoot." Yes, I read that but it only says "nearby", doesn't specify what distance. But thanks for the tip with the editor : https://i.im...

the manual says so but doesn't go further on the topic To get tons of precise information, you'd better learn how to use the Editor and set up simple scenarios. In the present case, the manual only says : "Foot can hide in buildings, woods and some other terrain. They can only be seen by nearby ene...

Interesting

Why two men ? Is it just a symbol ? Not a tactic ?

But the templars' shield and flags were wrong. What about these templars' shields? https://i.imgur.com/n0aaUW6.jpg No,still wrong,they should use their historical pattern shield like this,and also the flags on their lances. Isn't it a more complex matter than just ONE and only one historical patter...

Thanks !

Here is a version whose modded scripts work : http://www.mediafire.com/file/o8k00exqn ... d.rar/file

You can look at any Epic battles, for example the first one : Mollwitz (1741).

FoG2 has never (to my knowledge) used S3F files - they were deprecated a long while back. It's likely the code still loads them, but I wouldn't rely on it saving them out again correctly. I'm not entirely clear what the issue is here, can someone reclarify it. Cheers Pip Thank you for taking intere...

How about deleting the screwed-up 3D models, keep only the good ones and roughly re-texture some from other armies to fill the gaps ? I haven't looked at which units are still intact though to know if it is possible...

Just for information, besides the 2 files mentioned by Cronos above, now this mod also has an issue with some 3D models/textures/coordinates At the moment this mod has a problem with its unit models - e.g. pruss_dragoon_0.s3f Some of the units have a proper model .s4f. You can find a suitable unit ...

I guess this is also partly because there can’t be several units on the same square (such as cavalry + light foot scattered between the horses + a general or arty + defending lights), or several subunits (such as a unit and its detached light). (which is another question of mine whose answer is cert...

For the Magna Graecia city states too (Metapontion, Neapolis, et al)? I'll let someone else who's more knowledgeable than I answer, especially about their relations with local populations (did they use mercenaries, etc. ?). However, I guess that, as long as you have lots of Hoplites and light foot,...
