Battle Simulator ?

[Gandalf Parker]

I dont want to make anyone feel like they are left out or latecomers. But I feel a need to at least mention that this subject was discussed to death in the newsGroups over Dom 1. Many of the "improvements" in the game are due to those discussions along with many things getting a lower priority

The BattleSim did get alot of use but if fell short because of all the things you couldnt do with it that you could do in the game. The desires for adding all of those things eventually brought it up to the point of... might as well do it in the game.

This might not be that important anymore, depending from what we can do with the map editor. If we are able to add units/commanders, or even if we can add a spesific code to a certain province from the mad editor, much more people will be able to do it easily. Besides, a fan-made map editor could do this if one is ever done.

THAT is a wonderful insite that the map editor might fill the bill. Or a 3rd party tool which would be really simple to write. Someone could make a tiny 3-province map just for testing (two castles and a place to meet). Give both nations the units you want to test then play that map. This would allow you to set scripts, set formations, set spells, even give particular magic items.
