And no "true" Asian factions? Where's my samurai warriors, ninjas and kung fu monks, man?
Come on! :D
If we add the Chinese to the game, it shouldn't even have the ancient Warring States, Qin and Han dynasty armies that existed contemporaneously with ancient Greece and Rome. It should just be the modern-day PLA (People's Liberation Army) of the People's Republic of China. They should come complete with tanks, amphibious assault crafts, submarines, aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, etc. :tongue:
As for the Japanese, they didn't even really exist in 272 BC (unless you count their bogus myths that push their line of emperors back into Japanese pre-history and their isolated Bronze Age). Therefore it shouldn't be Samurai, but giant robots! And Toyotas. Gotta have warriors riding in Toyota trucks.

Re: The thread for horrible suggestions
You guys were so proud to have revised some older units in 2.2 but you couldnt be bothered to add leather arm bands to roman units???
In addition to Shang Tsung, EB II should consider having an "elephant" level unit called "GORO". Just like Sauron in all the Third Age Total War submods, he should be a big, nearly invincible guy walking around the battlefield, smashing everyone's heads in. And breaking Johnny Cage's sunglasses. :tongue:

They must add a katana-unit!
Cuz the katana is the bestest sword EVER!! If u say else u is a racist! It must be an ELITE unit and it sound swoosch swoosch when they cut, and all die! Warriors can look like a ninja and be all cool and fast and u must make event "Samuraj comes from the shadows. And Asia. And he teach you" and then all generals have katana. Swoosch, swoosch!

If he wants any tips, he better be friendly!
We can't have katanas in the mod, they would cause frequent crashes due to their tremendous power.

Indeed, recently I tried modding katanas into the game and their perfectly-forged-1000+-times Nippon steel was so effective that the animation graphics alone physically split my monitor in two from their sharpness. After that, all I could hear from the speakers was "DISHONARABU!!!".
Before my monitor was destroyed though, I did catch my nippon steel users splitting a Hetairoi from head to toe clean through their armor with one swipe--after which my own monitor was split in two by the glorious Nipponese perfection.
I'm glad I held off modding in the Nodachi.
Nippon/10 would Dishonor again.

From the game, we should get 10% GDP of any current nation occupying the geographical area that we conquer. What's the point of conquering if there's no real tribute?

Why can i recruit new Family members/Generals?
I wait very long for Cultural peace. But with the recruiting of generals/civil man i can reduce the Civil Aggresions after the conquer.

The Carthaginians should remain Punic Phoenician in appearance (i.e. like their modern-day descendants, the Tunisians of North Africa and Lebanese of the Levant), but Hannibal's unit card in the game, and that of his father Hamilcar, should be depicted as sub-Saharan black Africans. Why? BECAUSE...REASONS...THAT'S WHY! WHAT ARE YOU??!! SOME KIND OF RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or, you know, he most likely looked like a Middle Eastern Semite, like Alexander Siddig (non-black native of Sudan):

Re: The thread for horrible suggestions
I'm still waiting for a "300" like movie about the 2nd Punic War. I expect it to be in 2.3's event scenes, I want to watch it before it hits the cinemas.
Naturally, there will be a healthy dose of lorica segmentata, skinny girls shooting 150 pound bows, overabundance of blood, a few mutants here and there and LOTS OF SLOW MOTION SCENES.

Steam obviously existed in the EB2 era. Different peoples had various forms of engines, including engines of war (catapults, scorpions and such like).
Why come no one has steam engines of war?

Why stop there? There should be entire units of nothing but steampunk soldiers with handsome top hats, fancy monocles that serve as spyglasses and miniature telescopes, powerful machine arms with grips that can crush plate armor and helmets, and steam-powered handcannons.
Archimedes would pee his pants if he saw that in action. He'd simply toss his steam cannon design into the waste bin and call it quits.
