The old thread was lost in a forum crash. It appears most if not all threads/posts less than two days old are gone.
BTW, I did like the video. It's rough, obviously, but it was a good start.

Even so, they will refuse it.
Giving regular tribute of 200 Mnai per turn for long periods works pretty well in my campaign*. It does not guarantee anything, but factions are more disposed to leave you alone and accept...
Not really. Repairing occurs in a single turn and cost only a fraction of the money of building it anew. The construction of the governement building simulates (in sofar as it's possible) the time...
The reasons for not including a campaign are explained in this sticky.
Have look at this post. I imagine you need to switch off Polybian and Marian reforms to prevent them from messing up your imperial reforms.
There are five levels of the "good sailor" trait, and the highest gives 5 command stars. There also is a shipbuilder ancillary that IIRC also adds a command star, but I am not sure, so an admiral...
Flaming ammo is more devastating to morale, but less accurate and hence less effective (at least in the case of archers). I would therefor recommend only to use one or two units with flaming ammo,...
Europa Barbarorum. I also have Napoleonic: Total War 2 installed, and intend to try the next releases of Arthurian: Total War and Rome: Total Realism.
Go to www.europabarbarorum.org.
In my game, Parthia tends to dominate the steppes, although they are unable to make headway against the Seleucids, so they aren't that weak. If you want to slow down the Seleucids, you should try the...
Requirements for the Marian Reform according to the EB FAQ:
At least the year 172BC,
Have more than 6 Latifundia built in Italy,
Hold at least 45 settlements,
Fight more than 250 battles, and...
Historically, they wouldn't have done that. The Assyrians used chariots as shock troops, and the scythed chariots were a development of that, but most other nations used them as mobile missile...
No, defense is just for melee.
Missile fire is not that strong in EB, which I think realistic. If you are carrying a big shield and body armour, it's unlikely that the missile will hit something vital. However, I've never seen...
Try the A.I. balancing minimod: it balances the financial support given to factions and reduces merc-spamming.
What exactly do you think should be improved about nomadic economies?
After you've driven the Russians from the fletches, the script will unlock a group of men somewhere in the lower left corner of the map. This group includes your general as well as the unit of...
Argos actually. And if you want to be completely accurate, the tile only stunned him, so the woman's son was able to finish him.[/nitpicking]
If I understand the EB's team position on the hoplite warfare correctly, the Iphikratean hoplite should not be considered an upgrade of the classical one. It's an alternative development, chosen by...
You can play custom battles in this mod, just don't expect the A.I. to use Napoleonic tactics. Incidentally, the Waterloo battle was never finished, so the only historical battle included is Borodino.
Have a look at this Org thread. One of the developers stated that command influenced morale as well as attack, but no significant effect on the latter was found in tests by several community members.
No, guard mode just orders a unit to hold position. It does give weird results sometimes: I've seen units turn their back to an enemy they engaged in melee :thumbsdow .
Have a look at this thread. In short, in the ancient perionds well-trained slingers were considerably more powerful than archers. However, it's probably too easy to get well-trained slingers in EB,...
While I agree with the OP we are limited in both our knowledge of and our ability to similute history, I don't think that realism mods are in vain. Heck, just by giving Egypt a proper Egyptian army,...
:thumbsup2
I think this thread is what you are looking for. It's a bit dated (major changes between EB 0.7 and EB 0.8 can be found
here), but it contains most of what you need to know. If you still feel...
MS Paint cannot open .TGA either to my knowlegde. Personally, I use Paint Shop Pro, but I hear the freeware program Irfanview can be used for conversion too.
The Uachtarach DuboGaiscaocha recruitment is messed up for the Casse: they need a level 5 factional MIC, which you cannot build because neither of Ireland's provinces is a homeland province. If the...
The modesty patch will cover up the pubic regions of the Gaesatae and Tindanotae models. It doesn't change gameplay in any way and is only meant for those who are offended by nudity.
As for the...
It doesn't? Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me. My apologies for giving incorrect information.
Here.
IIRC one of the F-keys (I think F5) removes it. What I would like to know is if there is a way to get rid of the counter.
You can find detailed maps of Celtic recruitment here.
I am quite sure I saw a map detailing the recruitment of elephants somewhere, but I can't find it. From memory forest elephants can be recruited south of Egypt and west and south of Carthage. Bush...
It is a bit more difficult to get a proper cavalry charge in EB, but not impossible. You just need to give the cavalry a proper run up. It also helps if they are in formation, so no sudden 90 degrees...
All Celtic troops are in the Casse factional MIC, so you should build a type I government. However, both Milnath and Tarranos cavalry require the first Celtic reform (220 B.C.) and Remi Mairepos...
R:TW to EB 0.72: What's is the difference?
EB 0.74 to EB 0.8: What's new?
No and no. Apart from missile units, phalanx units and most high-end cavalry have a secondary attacks. Also war and armoured elephants: their secondary attack is their missile fire.
They appear in the last episode of "The Waste Land" by Artaserse and IIRC there are a few shots of them in the old screenshot topic as well.
You have no animator anymore? What happened to Alin?
