It's just weird; I have multiple characters with obscene amounts of gravitas, I've been using my family for pretty much everything and yet the other families have 1 or 2 guys with barely any gravitas...

I'm sort of confused as to how to get my influence higher (since I'm Rome and I want a civil war to break out).

Is it a good idea to not have all your party members as generals, fighting battles...

I'm actually finding it harder in the later game to support an army. I've probably doubled my available land and built plenty of economic improvements and I can barely support more troops than I...

If you put low loyalty generals in charge of a large army and then send them out of your borders (and helping them gain negative traits like rationing) they're gonna be highly likely to rebel....

I think some of the environments need to be worked on a bit more, as others have said the battle maps in 'grassy' areas leave a lot to be desired visually. A big part of this is the new grass that...

I really like it and it's not that bad. So far at least. I've only conquered all of Italy and the surrounding islands so right now it's easy to manage and it's an interesting and accurate mechanic....

Two new sigs, done in CS3.

Honestly I like the idea of ethnicities and I realise you aren't planning on doing a trait system as complex as EB's, but rather than these ethnicities just giving unrealistic bonus based on nothing...

I notice the campaign map uses several textures from RTW, no offense but it really doesn't look very nice to me. Is there any way I can put the M2 ones back in?

I'm the process of making some sigs for BC, here's one I've just completed:

I wanted to go for a deliberately dark and textured...

Just tried it now, .93 doesn't seem to work with the official patch.

However I was patching over 1.1 and apparently people have been having problems with that.

Its one of the AD scripts that spawns actual armies for the rebels and not just 3 unit stacks. Also, Prussian Korol isn't a name, Prussia refers to the area: Prussia and Korol is the Russian word for...

Does v.93 work with the 1.2 patch?

The problem with adding more cities to a certain area is the fact the map is too small scalewise. Adding in two or three extra cities to a place like England or Spain means everything is too crowded,...

Are there any minor-mods that add in eras to the campaign game? Basically making units recruitable only in the period they are classed in. Thats all I need really, preferably simple enough that it...

I actually like longer buildtimes and more expensive buildings. In vanilla you can build everything by the 40th turn and none of these structures hurt you financially to build. Where's the fun in...

Project Reality.

It actually makes the game good!

Oh I agree to a certain extent, I don't think theres anything to be gained from thinking the term is sexist and getting offended by it. But in their defense many of them think its sexist...but don't...

A gamer is a gamer.

Why do people need to differentiate?

I know a few women who play games, they find the term girl-gamer to be sexist.

Well, this is a good example of how we Brits are stupid.

This is more down to the fact that cavalry is ridiculously overpowered in M2. Charge any cavalry unit into some spearmen, 50 spearmen will die in about 2 seconds.

First of all, thanks for the reply wikiman, its great to hear an official voice getting involved with the community.



This is one of the things that has actually increased my respect for CA,...

I remember back before M2 was released Lusted talking about how he wasn't going to do any modding for the game because it just didn't require it, it was apparently perfect in every single way.

LTC...

Advisors that give stability bonuses and Temples which reduce the cost of investing in stability.

I actually found out what I needed to edit...kind of. I remembered I still had the .zip of RoK 1.1 which has the low growth rates and such, just copied and pasted that settlement_mechanics.xml into...

Premaxium...how about playing an easier faction then? The North African ones are extremely difficult with several tech penalties, low income and angry Iberians breathing down their necks. Try...

I played this mod back before it had even reached v1.0 (I think =/) and its great to see its now got its own sub-forum.:thumbsup2

Playing 1.3 however I noticed that the population growth...

Most of the lag on Al-Basrah was down to serverside problems which should have been fixed by now and also people with a tiny amount of RAM. If you had 1GB or less you would have probably lagged a...

Surprised there wasn't a thread about this...

Does anyone on TWC play Project Reality, a realism mod for BF2? Gasp! BF2 and realism...in the same sentence together!? WHAT KIND OF HORRIBLE TWISTED...

Yeah its news to me aswell.

I think its mainly down to a new admin who nobody likes...but don't quote me on that. I've always thought the amount of politicking that went on in this forum was...

Makhovono Village?

I think if you are playing on a competent team, against competent opponents many of the otherwise 'meh' maps become fantastic. Makhovono Village is a prime example of this and...

How about actually attacking Carthage?

Sieging their city on Sicily, moving your army into their territory, blockading ports etc.

I did that, provoking Carthage, they landed three full stacks...

Most likely these were spawned 'brigands' who attacked your lightly defended settlements because you were playing on very hard.

And guess what? That isn't exclusive to EB.

Welcome to exaggeration theater.

What factions are you having this trouble with anyway? I'm playing the Getai at the moment, it is 255BC, I have three provinces and I can support a 15 unit stack...

Yeah, hopefully in .81 they can add in a 'rebel-faction alliance' where if Carthage attacks Messana it triggers a war with Rome. And vice versa of course.

Ah thats right, got confused for some reason.

But yeah, 'highest' settings are pretty useless.

I'm pretty sure there's no point in maxing out the texture settings or indeed the unit detail settings as they all pretty much look the same once you get to 'high' (the settings after would be...

I haven't played in ages so I'm probably out of practice!

I go by Chuffy (surprise, surprise!) and I normally hang around the Wild Bunch server or any of the pure tank servers playing...

Can I make a suggestion about agents and how to stop tedious micromanaging to an extent?

Instead of agents having to board ships to get around to islands or across the channel or whatever, how...
