Barbarian Invasion: Historical Battles

But the TR mod will for sure.

Anyways, i clean installed, patched it to 1.2, and then made a copy of the folder (Right click menu - copy). Pasted a new folder and named it Total Realsim, installed the TR mod into the Total Realism folder, and installed BI into the original.
Problem solved.
Untill i discover annother awesome mod that is.

Originally posted by Cywr So, i went out and got it. How do i do a second install of R:TW? I don't want to discontinue my present RTR games.

RTW:BI don't work together with RTR. Thats very bad
I hope that RTR team will modify BI aftern some time to make it more realistic.
Roman German Bodyguard's weapons spear and sword look like a black sh*t, there must be huge mistake. And there is also Hunnic general sword and shield which looks realy wierd.
There is also too few provinces in battlemap.
And German tribes(franks, burgundians etc) didn't have so strong cavalry units. German warlords prefer fighting on foot not on horse in early times.

OK, I take back what I said about the game play.  I had a really good battle just now.  I set the chevrons of the nemy to max.  I took an alliance of Sarmatians and Huns and my victory was down purely to my command skills rather than the enemy running after the unit recieves 20  casualties.  And I lost to the a combinatiopn of Huns and Slavs earlier.

lol, don't worry, many of the Sassanid Azatan (Cataphracts) were our ancestors.

noble cavalry and noble archers are what I meant lol.

Lombardi archers and Lombardi cavalry i think.

In any case, I eagerly await the RTR BI release.

I am downloading patch  1.3 hopefully that will resolve the academy and screenshot issue.

My god damned screenshots come out blank black!!

Just had a far better battle and intended to post the SS here:

Sassanids: 4 cataphracts, 2 cataphract camels, 3 elephants, 5 Soghdian warriors, 3 archers, 1 heavy onagers, 2 onagers.

Romans: 7 Armies, 2 infanrty, 1 heavy cavalry, 2 missiles and 2 artillery

I lost but I still killed 2200 of 3650 with 580 men, really fun battle, took ages to set up.

 Sounds like little has changed on that front.

 TW seems to have gone wrong since MTW and VI, battles used to last and every game was totally different ive been playing MTW for 2 years and its still great I got bored of RTW after 2 weeks. I couldnt tolerate the constant need for me to micro-manage every single thing instead of letting me enjoy the game.

 I dont understand how they could release a game that had such obvious problems and required the brilliant efforts of modders to be even remotely enjoyable.

 BI doesnt seem to be much different and suffers from very similar problems, bah! its annoying how they made RTW into such a terrible game when it should of been brilliant and how they dont seem to have learned their lessons with BI.

 I hope im proved wrong, been waiting for BI for ages

 Argh! I have to wait to get BI abit longer, ive read a load of reviews on it and theyve been generally good, but I cant help but think its going to be the same as RTW with a few frills.

 I hope im proved wrong RTW was a major letdown and ive actually uninstalled it.

 Has the AI been significantly improved? and do enemy units still irritatingly often flee after only about 20% casualties like in RTW?
