This is looking very, very nice! :D

Will the senario be playable for both sides?

You should PM Richard. He will give you an email adress where you can send the scenario to.

Of course both sides playable.It exhausted me tweaking to make sure neither side can win/lose too easily,while the script must reappear the history scene that English almost doubled the French at first,however their rightbank contingent unmaneuvered until Breton reinforcement arrived the field 3hrs(12turns,15mins per turn)later.

That´s great. Scripting can be quite tiring work, so I´m glad to see that you have managed it.

Looking forward playing it!

I had my first game of this for a couple of years using this scenario in SP. I played as the English and managed to win 60-38 on Baron level (one of the easier levels, I believe). I thought the scenario was fantastic. I will have a game as the French next time. What ultimately saved me was the AI had difficulty getting its knights across the bridges on the river. It succeeded eventually, but I had time to re-deploy, to a certain extent anyway, and I was able to stop the knights hitting the main part of my army in the rear. In the main part of the battle I was eventually able to defeat the French by getting mounted units in behind the main French battle line. I had 3 or 4 rear charges that caused absolute havoc.

I'm so happy you like it,Pete! I tested a lot on this scenario,I thought its balance was OK.However things have changed after several packages of official updates.I think the difficulty of Formigny need to be retweaked later.
Curiosity drove me checked the scripts right now,some ; in

Code: Select all

team = x
went missing from scripts for Gerberoy and Orléans mysteriously.Weird the mod could still get launched.I will fix the above in the next update.
BTW theres is a MP version of this called Divded House.Some Scenarios were re-scripted for e.g.Patay. Some are more interesting in Mp for e.g. Day of Herrings. More tactics could be exploited in MPs such as Gerberoy and Orleans than in SP. English can have alternative of choices in Mp ver of Baugé in contrast to historical battle procedures(English can wait for reinforcements arrived to launch attack,meanwhile the Scots in defense will also be strengthened by their reinforcements). All of the above are quite difficult for AI to simulate thru scripts while human players can easily carried out in MP. Various Situations may occur in MP which will make the play fiercer.
I had a blueprint to finish the whole serie.Unfortunately,It was a tough year for me in 2023 as well as most of 2024.I was busy battling my upstair neighbour for the noise they made days and nights(they became pyschos during the peak of Covid).I can't sleep hence can't focus.Even worse I became sensitive to all kinds of sounds.
I left my home to rent a room in this summer,and somehow recovered from it for some extend.I hope I''ll have time to finish the serie.
Cheers!
