Ptolemaic Phalanx vs Macedonian Force

[rmdrdk]

There should be a war band version looks like a great video

[Luskrafuk2]

Fan of Egyptian Greeks I guess, as that's waht the Ptolemaic Empire was.

[DoctorMankind]

v.1.134 Trainer working @ /watch?v=BvbXhN2D_IY

[Strelok3700]

UNITS! FORM A PHALANX!

[KingCribble]

Imagine how fucking hard it would be to hold a 4 metre, hard wood, bronze tipped, pike for hours on end.

They must have fapped ALOT

[TheChuchulainn]

@KingCribble Heh. Hard wood.

[themachine43]

lol those spears are huge (thats what she said)

[Erik1495]

this is the best phalanx ive ever seen in mount and blade i loved it im downloding it right now :)!!!!!!!!!!

[heavymetalsinner1]

@Erik1495 i know its a little bit late to tell you but this is only in the upcoming new release it is not in the .960 version

[Erik1495]

@heavymetalsinner1 lol noticed thanks for telling me do you know when their going to release it? or is it going to be for warband? thanks

[heavymetalsinner1]

@Erik1495 it was for 1.011 but they changed it halfway without telling anyone to warband they finished porting ages ago but now they need to add in the extras it should be out sometime this year

[Erik1495]

@heavymetalsinner1 nice, extras?

[heavymetalsinner1]

@Erik1495 dunno about the extras they keep everything quite so far all i know is that they changed the cities to the correct time period so they are no longer medieval they also added some wonders e.g the sphinx, colossus of Rhodes , Colosseum etc

they have just started working on it again due to taleworlds being a bastard and constantly patching (which doesn't work)

[Erik1495]

@heavymetalsinner1 well im looking forward to it

[gwilliams117]

Is the Hagemony mod better than the Peloponessian War mod??? ive seen vids of both and i like the Peloponessian War mod better

[ComptonG4ngsta]

Madhness... THIS  IS SPAAAARRRTAAAA!!!! uh pwned kick in chest bitch

[BritishMunkey]

how do you make men go into phalanx?

[mrman5566]

nice, cant wait til this gets ported to 1.11

[pspfan68]

@mrman5566 it isn't going to be its going to be ported to warband

[mrman5566]

@pspfan68 yeah, i only found out about almost a month ago

[MegaKlak]

my thracian romphaiaphoros always owned the phalanx :))

[iAmazZin]

@MegaKlak ........... are you retarded?

[Aznhano]

wow pikes every where

[LarsSeprest]

lol sux to be the calvary AI

poor AI =(

[F1zzzy90]

i feel like plazyng titan quest now :D

[Corben667]

lol you cought an arrow in your neck :P

don't worry.. i took one between the eyes once... needless to say my character was KO'ed :S

[sunniize]

comes the phalanx formation automatically?

[KuroNekoPL]

Why that ptolemaic phalanxmen have macedonian helmets?

[Cirtaezyy]

Well, Ptolemy is a Macedonian family unless I'm mistaken, and those are Macedonian spears.

[dces4]

i hate how u dont get off your horse and join the phalanx

[Xerdocreisson]

Dude, in 3:03 I thought he was going to charge the phalanx with the horse lol.

Great mod, this will be tri-epic.

[punkzorr]

how do you change the character view into 3rd person from 1st person? and how do you form a square rather than ranks? or is that a special feature u added?

[Arc9er]

first of all, they form up by themselves as long as the enemy are far away and you give them a hold position order. second, you press r.

[Joltie]

Nice Cavalry AI. Ramming their horses into a wall of pikes.

[SolAurum]

Yeah, maybe this god of a modder should add some scripts in that regard?

On a side note... WOW! This is for 1.011 right? Amazing, definitely downloading, especially considering the new scenes and factions... and own kingdom option.

It's like the spears are magnetically attracted to the horsemen, lol.

[untmortadela]

@Joltie they got their orders to atack... ''For kingdom and Country''

[Roman2776]

@Joltie Reminds me of Total War

[beanchubbs]

Can't wait for this version to come out. The .960 version was awesome enough but this one will be even better.

[tizonwar]

Is there an ending to this mod? Like can you beat the game? or does the game just continues when you own all the cities?

[kingsnake94]

this isnt for 1011 yet right?

[SFmajkl]

I think it is...

[000majorwinters000]

No, not yet.

[sespi102]

nice mod!

[LordDarthHarry]

i gues the phalanx would look better if they aimed those spears at the rider instead of the horse.

[Mattebubben]

well usualy they did aim for the horse cus if u kill the horse the rider is as good as dead and the horse is a bigger target

[LordDarthHarry]

yeah but look what hapenes here. When the rider falls of he is right in the mdle of the formation and all the soldiers turn tuwards him. Even the ones in the front row. This makes them very prone to attacks from the rear.

[Mattebubben]

well ye =P but its a game right ^^ and u cant rly hit the rider that easy when his on the horse cus u will hit the horse or miss him

[Mattebubben]

btw if a horse is running towards u in like 30 mph wouldent u want to kill it instead of being steped on? xD

[DeepvoiceED]

What game is this?

[Domanter]

Mount&Blade

[kingsnake94]

Game is Mount & blade and the mod is called Hegemony 268 bc.

[Mattikusrules]

At about 7:15, it sounded like someone was twirling something, haha.

[ELITEayon62]

THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAA i know your probaly going to give me thumbs down on this but come on someone had to say it

[barneysixx]

@ELITEayon62 nice try but Sparta was a different nation back then

and they used different infantry deployment

[PurePerfection]

Looks very nice, you're doing a great job and I can't wait until you finish your improvements.

[gamezer110]

i t s Hegemony mod 2 i have hegemy mod 2 it s best mod

[000majorwinters000]

I can't wait for this to be ported to 1.011. : )

[l0velipS]

nice work ealabor.

cant wait for the release.

Whats the song called?

[KuroNekoPL]

It isn't phalanx =( Its only band of men with "two handed" long spears....ehh I've hope its really phalanx =(

[emptyeiganjo]

i can't help but agree

[SmelBrel]

this is really phalanx

[Darkdestiny388]

Phalanx isn't guys walking in the in a glomp and just holding long Sarissas and attacking whenever they want. The formation suppose to be a formation thats named "the spike wall" or the "wall of spears " which is everyman locked together to form a usually 80 man deep spear wall that walks and attacks synchronized. This game is still thrilling to play even tho no proper formation exist and we got to thank the creators.

[DarkArcz]

@Darkdestiny: According to Wiki, their front row of men also typically had shields, and it was the backrow that did any actual attacking. Im guessing that ealabor din't go with that simply because it wouldn't be that effective with M&B's combat engine.

[Darkdestiny388]

Wikipedia isn't always accurate you know. Anyways its not just the front row that had shields every man carried a shield just different Hellenic nations had a variation in shield size. As for mount&blade actually it would be effective, it would have same weakness as an actual phalanx, but thats not the reason y they didn't implant it. the reason they don't have it in is because the difficulty of ensuring it to work properly.

[000majorwinters000]

True, and it probably wouldn't work properly with the game engine now. Formations don't really exist as formations in Mount&Blade, as each individual is still very prone to run around a short distance and fight whoever they want, disregarding their spot in line.

[NaCk210]

Hey, what do you know... phalanx does work now.

[FrisianDude]

Looks very cool, nice horse you're riding as well, but I noticed that group of Macedonian archers all wore the same black shirt, are you gonna vary in that?

[GrayfoxTKD]

holy sht man good job cant wait to play this mod

[CrazyChickenDK]

well the first cavalry guy and the 3rd that attacked them got turrned into kebab in a blink of an eye.....*shudder*

[fedeita89]

a little bit of lag i presume there's still no lods, btw it's a shame that they don't act like a real phalanx it would be epic!

[whop9]

I think the lag might be from the video capturing program rather than from the game.

[fedeita89]

oh yes also that, fraps eat alot of fps

[FrisianDude]

Wasn't a real phalanx the size of several thousands of men? Would be epic, but deadly to your computer. :P

[whop9]

Well, if I had a choice between relatively dumber/simpler AI, and more men, or better AI but less men, I'd go the the former simply out of the desire to see those thousands.

Maybe the bots could be scripted to behave with advanced AI only in the near presence of you.

[Maximillian34Tsh1T]

First of a phalanx wasnt the size of a thousand men. An army of maybe 2000 had maybe 250 seperate groups of phalangites. And 1000 men M&B would lag the crap out of any computer

[000majorwinters000]

Try Rome Total War for that. (;

[Blackfall234]

its boring to be ever the general !

A Soldiers to play is way more cooler , Or more a Commander in Battle ;)

[camo999999999]

Well.... THERE YA' GOE' If you know Rome TW or the other TW's, then you might wished to play as an individual.... right? There M&B Kicks in... It is not fun.. but i keep it fun with my fantasy :D Im lost...
