    Re: response

    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.

    Re: keeping allience

    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...

    Re: Shouldn't javelins be a bit stronger?

    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...

    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.
