I typically have one artillery unit in my armies, currently it's a ballista as I haven't researched the next building. I find that it allows me to force the opposition to take the initiative, while I...

I understood OP more in the way that there are certain regions traditionally considered ethnically and culturally diverse, a melting pot between different cultures. These would have lower resistance...

Is this actually doable in DeI? The Supply-system limiting navy movement to 8 turns combined with the really low movement points of transports makes the distance you can travel limited (maybe there...

Anyone else feel that the raze-option for conquering cities it a bit too easy? I find myself expanding a bit too quickly for my taste when i can get very positive effects through razing. Especially...

I disagree. I used to only like archers, but I didn't know how to use ranged units properly. Velites are awesome. They just have too little ammo for me. I like to engage the enemy line with my...

If we turn the question around, how do you guys counter elephants? In my current Rome campaign, I just wiped Epirus off the earth, having previously conquered Italy from the Carthaginians. I've faced...

How do you go about this?

Do you fire at the defenders that are hiding on the walls? Isn't that uneffective, with them being protected? Or are archers just that accurate?

I'm guessing you're running 1920x1080? I have an overclocked MSI GTX 970 and I'm not sure (the Steam FPS counter is placed bad against the UI), but I guess with max unit sizes and close to max...

This looks great! Although because I usually play zoomed out, I don't really know how much of a difference there is, maybe there could've been a 'before'-section. ;)

One question: will these new...

Can they (or should you be able to) be counteracted by eg. placing him in a city with a temple then? I've had things like being idle, having access to money etc., but there's too much of a hassle to...

So changing the value of every row of column campaign_action_points in the naval_units_tables from the default 7875 would increase the movement of both navies and transports? And I could possibly...

Thanks, figured as much. Imperium level editing seems pretty straightforward (for low levels you have to edit romans, barbarians and punics separately I guess? nope that's the grand campaign and the...

If I wanted to edit a minor set of features in DEI, is the correct way to download PFM, open one of the DEI pack files (search for the one with the changes in it), edit the values and save the pack?...

Yeah. The problem with TW (except RTW and Shogun 2 I guess) is that cultural assimilation is pretty much nonexistent. You either convert your conquered city to your culture (unrealistic), or suffer...

Hello. With the various changes to the buildingtrees in DEI using the encyclopedia is no longer viable as the deviation from vanilla is quite big. So would it be possible to add the building options...

When patch 17 goes live and DEI is updated for it, will it be savegame compatible with the DEI version for patch 16? IE, if I start a new game now, can I continue it later? Or should I install the...

Because the area has low-to-no christian population, they are quite effective at converting it and thus receive good +piety traits and ancillaries.

In my current campaign I've only once been excommunicated for attacking with the threat. Granted I've won all papal elections, most of the time with my own cardinal but a few times I've voted for the...

Agreed. The suicidally charging general is actually the only thing I worry about in battles now, they cause a ridicolous number of casualties. There just is no way of countering it even with bracing...

Seems like the retraining is another bug. The missing bonuses is a design decision so that the AI places missile units in front of the infantry line. They are classified as skirmishers, and thus do...

What's up with the guilds? I have an archers guild and a master archers guilds, but they do not provide the described +1-2 experience for my archer recruits (levy, muslim and desert as Sicily). I'm...

I see alot of talk around the forums about pikemen and hoplites. Yet I, as a veteran of RTW don't understand the difference. I guess pikemen in TWR2 is the hoplites of RTW, but what are the hoplites...

Go to Steam, right click the game and select properties. Under one tab there should be a drop-down menu where you can select not to keep the game automatically updated.

Anyone want to guess when...

For me the correct button is alt+right click.

@lequintal69: Yeah seems to be like that.

Does the mod-friendly version work with DeI? DeI says that it is incompatible with camera mods that alter the scripts.

I did this for a Norwegian and Danish army (even though I was tempted to send them a bit north against the Byzantines). But the second Norwegian army I couldn't move, as the console didn't recognize...

What's up with the AI cities and their build policies? (Using the "middle" setting, not too aggressive, not too passive AI). They never build farms or health buildings, but seem to get their cities...

Yeah, that's what I thought/remembered. Just got used to the newer TW titles where the alliance would break if an ally wouldn't join you when you're attacked.

Great, thanks!

Another question while I'm at it. I don't remember if it's the same in Vanilla, but whenever a faction declare war on me, my allies do nothing, yet they remain my allies. Shouldn't...

Playing the early campaign, when do you get access to better troops than say urban militia, sergeant spearmen and mounted sergeants? Granted, as Sicily I am only 40-50 turns into my campaign, but...

Do you happen to have the Steam-version? I just stumbled upon this guide that is supposed to fix the missing date on Steam versions.

Would this work in an existing game if the ancillary were to be added to the heir (or the next heir) via a console command?

My 'pure bloodline' got destroyed immediately after my FL passed away,...

For me it shows the turn number in the lower right corner as usual, and the date on the left side along with the season. Check if it's there and you can see both the year and the turn number.

Yeah, I guess those were the ones that were in contention last time I played. :P Mind giving me a quick description of each mod, their differences and personal recommendation? :)

Ah, didn't want to write too much about my preferences. :P I'm looking for Vanille enhanced, that is the same time period and scope of the grand/imperial campaign. Gonna play with a Catholic faction...

Got this itch to play M2 again, but of course I don't want to play Vanilla and it has been several years since my last play. What's regarded as the current go-to mod for M2TW? :)

I agree with this. It does not make sense that you can just stop untaxing your -64 food province and it magically can sustain itself. That is why I choose not to use that "feature" other than to help...

Could the number of available spies be increased? Even at low empire level it seems I am able to field more dignitaries and heroes than spies. I think it's severally limiting with one spy, especially...

I liked the way traits were gained in RTW and M2, what you did influenced what kind of traits you gained, whilst retaining some kind of randomness for the characters. Sometimes you just would get...

I would download this instantly, but I would like the navy movement to be increased by at least as much, if not more. :(
