*Updated* 4/7
Here's a test release of the modified deployment zones I've been tinkering with. These are for campaign battles, not custom/MP battle maps.
In a nutshell, it will allow more space for deployment, particularly for the defender. It also increases the starting distance between the two armies; No more artillery fire from the second you hit start battle, but instead some time to maneuver/counter maneuver. ~2-4 times the starting distance from the default zones.
For field battles, the attacker's zone is typically wider than default, but anchored to the map edge. The defender's zone has been extended to the map edges (flanks & rear). For settlement/siege battles, the differences are usually less radical. For forts especially, I only made slight changes giving the attacker a bit more room, but left the distance the same on the assumption the siege has been ongoing and their cannon etc would have been in place. Open to suggestions on all of it though, I view this as a test release to get opinions/feedback from anyone who wants something different from the default zones.
Here's a pic of a field battle, and river crossing to get an idea. Note that even for the field battles there will be slight variants of the setup, where the attacker is a bit wider, offset, etc.
The pack file is currently in movie form, so just unpack the rar, and drop Modified_Deployment_Zones.pack into your NTW\Data folder and it should be good to go. Simply remove the pack file to "uninstall".
Update hopefully solves the siege related CTDs. Found a few cases where this occurring after A.Suvorov pointed out the issue. Thanks!
Second pack added. The Close version, 2nd file below, will have wider deployment zones, but the starting distance between opposing armies will be much closer to the stock distance.
v0.3: fixed CTD issue involving river battles.
Also, a version for ETW has been released: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?p=6967437#post6967437
