Hi,

I really like the D.A.G. in RoR (small "bug": The Numidians without special campaign additions are missing), but I wonder how to use D.A.G. armies in the scenario builder. I'm currently working on two scenarios for the 1st and 2nd battle of Philippi, but cannot find any option to use a priorly created army.

You dont use DAG armies in the scenario builder. You just go to new game and set DAG from the top menu on a random battlefield. Then fight against an AI DAG army, or go online and fight someone else. There is no need to design a scenario - it's all done for you!

The scenario editor is for special case games where you want specific terrain or mismatched sides. I think it will get used a lot less now DAG is available.

Yes, and I really love the random battle generator (My Romans are currently kicking the Bosporans lower back side), but anyway, sometimes I like to build a historical scenario like I mentioned - 1st and 2nd Philippi.

Is it possible to use the new unit types - even if not via the DAG - in the scenario builder.

If I want to build a scenario for the Battle of Beth Horon (Maccabean Revolt) in 166 BC between Jewish rebels and the Seleucid Empire, I'd like to use units from the Later Jewish list of RoR.

If you have RoR you can use all of the units in the scenrio designer. Only players with RoR will be able to play those scenarios though.
