First of all, sorry for the delay but I was quite busy in the past days; anyway I'll try to resume the pending questions
In linea con questo, ho voluto proporre come mod obbligatorie nei giochi DoW alcune di quelle che enfatizzano i fumi di moschetti e cannoni. Forse la cosa giusta sarebbe dire: mod che avvicinano il fumo a un'esperienza vicina a quella reale. Almeno provali. Penso che tu stesso, Biondo, sia arrivato a fare diverse versioni graduali dell'intensità del fumo, una "forte" e un'altra con un aumento più moderato rispetto al gioco originale.
PS: Un altro problema da esplorare è il comando dedicato, cioè un giocatore su ogni lato, un capo di corpo per esempio, agisce come tale, senza avere il comando diretto delle truppe. Senza altre armi che carta e penna per scrivere dispacci.
I remember that we tried a thicker smoke version and although it was probably closer to the reality, it was very very difficult to play that way, especially because the AI can see through the smoke, and finally decide to have a lighter version. Anway we can test again if we find a different solution (maybe increase the time the smoke linger in the air?)
Sometimes it happened to command without having units under direct control and it was a lot of fun too so I hope we can play that way

Ancora una volta, il tempo era su di noi. Come ho accennato a Tadzio, l'ideale sarebbe avere uno stock di scenari per cooperative e non dipendere dalla Sandbox.
Su questo, penso che non possiamo scrivere l'IA in uno scenario multiplayer e temo che se ci fidiamo dei loro criteri non invieranno nemmeno le truppe agli obiettivi, cosa che di solito mi succede quando comincio a testare gli scenari . Vediamo se Biondo ce lo può confermare : SOS:
In Multiplayer you can't script the AI. in the Hunt them down mode the AI will usually go for the first Major objective you set in the scenario but not with all of his forces. Probably is better an Attack/Defense situation with troops already close to the obj they must defend but it's something I rarely do for our multiplayer session which is usually PvP.

Hay, por otro lado, un archivo drills.csv que se encuentra en la carpeta Logistics de los mods, que permite editar las formaciones y añadir nuevas. Editarlo es sencillo, al tratarse de un csv se abre con el Excel o el Calc, sin embargo lo encuentro muy críptico y además al crear nuevas formaciones habría que modificar la barra de herramientas para que se puedan lanzar desde esta. Vamos que se trata de bastante trabajo. La otra opción sería el micromanejo de las formaciones, pero para eso, más bien pienso que sería preferible llevar una brigada.

Respecto de las formaciones, ¿se podría pautar, por ejemplo, los intervalos en anchura entre batallones?
El patrón a seguir, en cuanto a interfaz también (por elegante y sintética, con ventanas volantes que entiendo permiten introducir opciones sin restricciones), creo que lo define este mod,
Tadzio you are right, the drills.csv is the file that defines all the formations in game and after you created a formation then you need to create an appropriate button in the toolbar (you also need to modify unitglobal.csv to tell the game that that certain unit can use that certain formation). As you said is quite simple because it's an excel sheet but is quite complicated to understand how it works and it takes some time to understand again after a while you don't play with that file.
Anyway in the new version I can add whatever formation you want (some already added and a couple on the list), just tell me at what level you want it and in what formation a battalion should be.
About how the toolbar shows the formation, my idea is to have the basics formations always displayed and quickly selectable with a button that brings out a small window with all the other formations but a pics worth more than words so here it is
This is more or less the usual toolbar you see (brigade level) but you can notice a PLUS blue button which bring out a small window
Here you can select the "not usual" formation
Once selected, you can see the formation you choose on the toolbar; if for some reason your brigade lose the initial setup, you can click again on the button on the toolbar withouth having to reopen the small window

De todos modos, la sensación que tengo es que la artillería a caballo no va en el juego mas rápido que la infantería, ¿no?
They march at the same speed as the infantry or other units but when you make them run, they do it quite close to cavalry speed; Just give the destination to the commander, give him the formation and wait that he forward his orders to his guns, then, with the battery commander selected, hit the red run button. Just keep in mind to send the artillery in a spot supported in some way by infantry or cavalry or they will retreat immediately if the enemy is too close.
Another point is that the artillery doesn't take fatigue penalty when running.
Let me know if something is not clear or I missed some other question
See you on the battlefields
