Casse get some native Cavalry (by which I mean without relying on Mercs; IIRC, the Caledonian and Goidelic cavalry require Regional MICs), though the Myrcharn are not that good. Argyn Marca are...

Depending on the faction, either:
A) Ship units from your homeland to the front; use this with factions like Rome, which have great factional units and an economy powerful enough to handle masses of...

Recommended Battle Difficulty is Medium; playing on Hard or Very Hard gets you some ... odd results because of the stat bonuses AI units get.


Fear units don't need to be engaging your units,...

I think something besides Command Stars is going on in that case, because I can take Low-Command (or even Captain-Led!) armies up against the Central European Defenders and their 10 Stars and my guys...

Neither 'Barbarian' nor 'Uneducated' are the same as 'Stupid' or 'Unskilled,' though. After all, Brennus and other Celtic leaders did defeat Hellenic generals in the 281 invasion.

IIRC, fighting 'against the odds' also improves your chances of getting Stars and/or Command-boosting Traits. Your general doesn't *need* to be good if you have the quality and/or numbers to simply...

In case you haven't checked the links yuezhi provided, I'll explain. Armenian Skirmishers have Attack 5 compared to the Easterners' 4 for their missiles, and have range 57.8 compared to the...

Or what your computer can comfortably handle ....

The Seleukids have a unit called "Thorakitai Agematos Basilikou," which seems to be the Agema you're referring to ... and which, from the article, appears to have been an evolution of the...

I think you have the sizes set to Medium; check the Options menu in-game from the Main Menu. 40 men/unit is the Base/Medium size for most Infantry units, with 25 being the Cavalry size; on Large,...

No Berserking units in EB at all.

Around 95% sure they aren't called that in-game, though, and Heimstatt gives the other name.



Yes, but their stats are slightly different from the Remi Mairepos; the Mairepos have 2 better...

What factors go into Auto-Calc, anyway?

From a limited internet search ... because 19th-century Americans figured it'd be a good phrase.

Deleted.


Presumably The Holy Pilgrim - and/or any other Mods who have looked at this thread - don't share the views of the Mods who closed those threads you're referring to.

And I'd still disagree; heck, it's not like you can guarantee that whatever 'walkthrough' you're using is going to be accurate to your skills and the conditions of your game. You're going to have to...

That may be what you meant, but that's not what it says. Here, let's break it down, shall we?

Part one of the relevant sentence, which explains that Vanilla Germania is not a Skirmishing faction....

Saying that the Sweboz in EB have high-quality skirmishers implies that their skirmishers are superior to the skirmishers of other factions; what you meant was rather that skirmishers sucked in Rome,...

Comparing EB units to Vanilla units is silly at best.

Eh, less that they have high-quality melee skirmishers, and more that lower-tier Barbarian Skirmishers in general tend to be more capable than their civilized counterparts at melee. Jugundiz are not...

... Well, this is going to be wonderful ....


:hmm: Definitely a good sign right there. "And now we're going to replace his Elite African Pikemen with Klerouchoi Phalangitai! Let's see if he...

Contradiction much?

Not particularly relevant; I might as well talk about my skill with Myth and/or Starcraft.

Fun fact: Heimstatt won't tell you that Reidonez are :wub: for charging because...

Still haven't learned basic typing? Jeez ...

Triarii, Hoplitai, Sacred Band Infantry, Hypaspistai, Speudogardoz ... all Spearmen, none of which have primary, secondary, or even tertiary roles of...

... Parthian Spearmen are better than Iberi Milites, except they lack the missile weapon and have a smaller Unit Size. They have better Attack, a Larger Shield, and better Morale. They are 2 Armour...

... Yes, yes that would explain it. It just wasn't clear from your original post, which appeared to say "Barbarian units make unhindered contact with my lines, then rout for no reason." In this,...

Actually, it makes sense; it's easier to say "Faction X has a better unit selection than Faction Y" if you've actually played both factions, particularly if you're arguing along the likelihood of...

That ... is really bizarre. Botroas are 11/Impetuous*, so they shouldn't be routing on contact. I've seen non-Led Thracian Light Spearmen (9/Imp), and heck, Toxotai/Akontistai (8/Low) do more than...

If they're actually Routing ... I've never seen that happen unless dealing with outnumbered, poor-morale levies affected by Fear or other Morale-depleting effects (Surprise, Fire Arrows, etc). ...

Hmm ... then the only thing I can think of is that you're modifying the executable, and then opening EB with a different executable, and that's why it isn't working. Sorry I can't help more right...

Oh, it's more involved than that; take the Casse and Sweboz, for example. Both single-region Barbarian factions, yes? Well, the Casse start out at Peace with the Eleutheroi! Yep, it's perfectly...

Well, do all people love it for the same reason? There are lots of reasons people may like EB. Maybe it's because it gives (relative) prominence to a faction or ethnicity they like. Maybe they...

IIRC, there should be a preferences.txt file somewhere in the main EB folder; have you tried modifying it through there?

Well ... I suppose you could ask FPS players why they like Halo, or Crysis, or Killzone, or Painkiller, or CoD/MW ... but not the others. Some people are more attracted to certain aspects of...

One thing to keep in mind is that you can't play the factions the same way - the way you play Carthage and Rome, for example, wouldn't work for the Casse or Sweboz (at least, not as well).

Part of...

Except that Hastati aren't notably cheaper than Principes, don't have a Stamina advantage over them, have inferior Lethality, and don't have an AoR advantage over them. The one advantage they have...

My issue was that you appeared to be claiming that the Romans were unfairly buffed by their stats relative to other factions' 'elites,' not cost/upkeep - which, IIRC old topics on the subject, is...

Yeah, I wasn't counting them either. :shrug: You're probably right - and they formed a pretty irrelevant line of thought anyway, as while neither Galatian Heavy Spearmen nor Hypaspistai are quite as...

Yes to the first; the latter is true against low-tier units (particularly Barbarian ones), but of more use against civilized factions and higher-tier units.


Peltastai are also recruitable in a...

I encountered a peasant named Roal Fore Inishativ earlier. Rep to the first person who can guess what I did.


If you're going to just compare the faction rosters? Yes, it is. If you're going...

And seeing as you were arguing against my position ...


You mean Javelin, of course :rolleyes:

Peltasts come to mind. Bruttians if you must have the Pila.
