Pontus is my favorite faction and I've started so many Pontus campaigns that even years between campaigns I remember how.

Turn 1 hire merc hoplites (some of the most cost effective line infantry...

Hi Quintus, is there a rough eta of the next patch that is dropping soon? Because if it's going to be in the next few weeks I'll wait to start a new game until it drops.

As a long time fan of the EB mods, who is also a min-maxxer, I've finally come around to the benefit of cheap javelin-armed missile units. Because (1) I like having many large-ish armies around the...

To me, jav cav's value are that they are cheap and easy to recruit (widely available and low replenish).

They're most useful charging light and missile infantry, or fighting other light cav. Cav...

Hey loves, all I want to know is

Do we have Rhaetic Axemen yet? I've been waiting to do another Boioioioioioi campaign......

Been away from the game for almost a year now, built a sprawling crypto mining farm in my small apt, but I am SO EXCITED TO PLAY THIS NEW PATCH <3

Petition to have a faction composed entirely of daughters from the other factions who were "Past Childbearing Age"

Without having to raise kids or manage a household for their absentee husband,...

I mean, I don't mind the upgrade system. But it would be nice if the upgrades had more customization options. Also if the upgrades, as well as the traits, had more clear triggers like they do in EB2....

I did the same thing. Got TW3K when it went on sale, then got really bored teleporting my generals all over the map and never having to worry about troop replenishment. Now I'm re-re-replaying Pontus.

So, is it tied to the RoyalFamily trait, or something else in the engine?

Gave the "potential successor" ancillary to the heir's second son while the faction leader is still alive. But every time the faction leader dies, the oldest son becomes heir.

What are the...

Peltastai Galafianakikoi

Or just gets rid of food imports. Or reduce the population growth bonus of food imports.

I disagree. Compare this to upgrading camps to settlements: it’s supposed to be hard in game, but there’s a building chain tied to it such that it’s a somewhat linear process. Also, there’s a section...

Something to be able to add at least one more tick of population growth to Large Towns. Can't hit 6,000 without having a 3rd lvl farming/fertility temple or having an FM with an ancillary/trait that...

*shudders*

In the interim, can just give Illyrians the frighten_foot attribute.

Aw but I love the models for the Illyrian Peltasts

Need to have the modesty option apply to all units.

Make horses wear pants.

Pantodapoi Kataphractoi

”if we can train them to be phalangites...”

Need to have the Chosen of Diogenes, an elite group of chickens in full hoplite panoply.

”Behold! I have brought you an army!”

If we got an Italian American family member submod I might actually play a Rome campaign.

General Martinus Scorsese always has a flair for the dramatic.

Hard battles. But as I understand, battle difficulty doesn’t affect kill rate. And it’s more that cavalry are much less vulnerable to missiles when compared to similarly equipped infantry.

Exactly. Who needs Cantabrian Circle when you can just do the skirmish mode cavalry wiggle?

Huh. Honestly, I can’t ever remember either killing or losing a general to missile fire in EB2.

Do the very loose formations of horse archers (compared to foot skirmishers) really make that much...

Is it just me, or do cavalry units seem very impervious to missile weapons.

I remember back in EB1 one of the strategies I could use against steppe factions is to field armies of foot archers...

Ah ok.

Instead of changing hidden_resources in descr_regions, what if I change the EDB entries for the convert_to_city and hinterland_farms_nomadic building line, and remove hidden_resource mixed?...

Or if there's a hidden resource for camps?

I was going to give them all the mixed resource before starting my next game. Thx <3

Chainmail boxers.



Horse archers. As opposed to people archers. They're not very accurate.

As a person who routinely digs into the .edu files and tinkers with some of them, understanding how the traits work in this game can be complicated. I just opened up export_descr_character_traits.txt...

Yeah I'm pretty excited about 2.4. Been playing EB mods on and off for a decade now and I never get bored.

I'm doing a run of TW3K with the Beneath a Red Sky mod to make battles more realistic to...

Back in the day when I played EB1 I used to turn this song on blast for the entertainment of my then gf.

If I owned a car with powerful speakers, I would play a bass-booted version of this with...

Pontusssssssssssssssssssssss

A really fantastic eastern faction with lots of access to Hellenic units. Very difficult starting position but once you conquer Turkey and Armenia you're in a great...

It's been almost a year since I last played. Rly excited about 2.35A <3

Same. I haven't played my Pontus campaign in months. Was planning on waiting for the next update with the new units to start a new game, but who knows. Maybe I'll play some more Metro until then :)...

“We considered adding Golden Company Elephants to the mercenary recruit pool, but removed them”

I wanted those elephants...

Sweet :3

I swear, editing text files for these mods has been my gateway into learning programming...

Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!

Is there a way to randomize the type of units between an individual spawn? Like, say having your sample stack generate 3 Illyrian thureophoroi and/or hoplites?
