Thracians have gotten a lot more love and variety in FOG2 than they ever did in WRG and other ancient rulesets of the past. RBS has been open to revising lists if historical evidence is presented. Bear in mind ratings are devised based on historical contemporaries. You may want to take a look at TT...

I notice that the Thracian lists now have compulsory spammed massed peltasts but nothing has been done to make them more like peltasts or more like Thracians. This is a particularly useless troop type that is not as good as your run-of-the mill nameless hill tribesmen (with 100% swords). It doesn't...

Quite surprisingly, when playing the Castillans, this friendly unit that is marked red below and that is AI-controlled if I am not mistaken, stopped doing anything after a few turns, hadn't moved forward when the hex in front of it was empty, nor fought nor done anything for several turns (nor coul...

I haven't played since I built a new PC in mid-2023 (13900KS+4090). I am at 1080p/60. The bottom 1/4 of the screen looks somewhat washed out. I never noticed this before. Is there anything I can do to fix it. Thanks. 2025-06-14 21-26-16.jpg I think that is the "vignette" effect'. It is a ...

Hi, is there a way to auto generate a map, like the game does every time it creates a skirmish? I want to make some maps with proper unit rosters and the right abilities in the editor, but I don't want to create the whole landscape (this is sth the game does quite well by itself, unlike the choice ...

As I’m almost ready to release the second version of the 'Age of Reason' mod, I noticed that when setting up skirmish battles on 'very large', there is no possibility to customize the armies, since all units are automatically pre-assigned (which doesn’t happen with other battle sizes). This is stra...

how do i aquire this awesome mod? I believe it can be downloaded from within the game, along with many other scenario and campaign mods; "To download it, click on the "Download community scenarios" button in the top left corner of the Main Menu, Epic Battles or Campaigns screen."

Hi folks, I still love playing this game, specially with the skirmish add-ons like Paul's Cold War one. My question is this: can players recommend other games that are of a similar style and which are similarly straightforward in their gameplay? I love the simple elegance of BA2! Thanks in advance,...

I was thinking in terms of the look of the models, and the armour ratings of the units Just one example look at the relief of the battle of Legnano 1176. The Knights look closer to the earlier knights. They have kite shields, older helmets and seem to be not wearing full chainmail. But in the game ...

1050-1179
1180-1329

Is a better fit than the games

1050-1154
1155-1319

What do others Think I am I right or Wrong?

Are you thinking in terms of the look of the models, or the armour ratings of the units?

I'd rather have morale checks run one hundred times to reduce odd results than combat. Morale checks have a bigger influence on outcome of a fight than combat results. It sure does seem that morale checks results are more 'unexpected.' It seems you misunderstood what MVP7 wrote. It's just the comba...

Sorry, I have only just noticed this. I have never tried to edit the morale damage from shooting, but would guess that the answer would be in the MoraleTools.BSF and probably some of the other bsf files.

Is there not a restriction already for what DLC are owned across both games? I assumed that would be the case and Time Warp as such would only be usable already if you own both. My assumption being incorrect would certainly explain why Time Warp is a bit limited! No, you don't have to own Ancients ...

Excellent, will take a look. Some things to consider - 1) Making it an in-game download, when you feel it is ready 2) Adding 'Held Firm' etc messages 3) Adding 'Turn and Shoot' etc Will come back with further suggestions after checking it out. Thanks. Whit regard to your consideration, Snugglebunni...

Well Paul, I tried to find the lines you referred to in the CustomCampaignTools.bsf file but wasn't unable to find them. Do you think that I could try to add them in the file, just in order to verify if it works anyway? I was referring to the 5PikeandShotCampaign folder. The lines of code are at th...

Can you upload as a zip or rar? I'm unable to download it with its current setup.

Thanks, eager to check it out.

Yes, we need a Premium mediafire account to bulk download multiple folders and files. So a zip or rar would be far better.

I think this really solves the problem.

Oh yes, Merry Christmas to you too!

Trying to mod a campaign, I wasn't able to give my new armies the proper region names into the campaign. Does anybody knows which is the file where the pairings of army and region names (present in the TXT6.TXT) is made? I don't think I have ever tried to mod the province names, and it is several y...

You need to edit the CAMPAIGN.TXT to show the new scenario names. If it still just shows the original scenario: [Cropredy2] That is all that can be played. You would have to add the names of the new scenarios below [Cropredy2], so that it looks like this: [Cropredy2] [CROPREDY phase3] [CROPREDY pha...

Is it possible that the campaign is set to be a carryover one? That would make it harder to go directly to any additional scenarios - IIRC. Check for a CAMPAIGN.TXT file inside the folder for your new campaign. You should also check that the folder name is different (though I imagine that would be ...
