I've also experienced "doubtful courage" without any apparent reason. The general fought and did not rout or anything.

I've also experienced "doubtful courage" without any apparent reason. The general fought and did not rout or anything.
I'm now at turn 225 and see no sign of ceasefires or alliances between AI factions, as a matter of fact 2 additional wars broke out in this short 10 turn sequence.
As you said you tweaked the...
From my experience they become eligible in Carthage as long as they are not generals. I also think they have to be of certain age and have some other requirements (influence?, offices held?) some can...
I don't have any problem with any of it as long as it doesn't happen all the time or too early in the game.
Gauls invaded Greece and Asia Minor and Cimbri and Teutones came pretty close to Italy...
I would like to dispute the "sensible with player part" but I'm willing to consider that perhaps I've made some mistakes.
Anyway, I'll continue my current campaign, just for science, but I sure...
I really can't agree, the mod has made huge progress and is otherwise one of the more enjoyable TW experiences I've ever had but the diplomacy is an immersion breaking mess once the pattern emerges...
Another problem area. Next to Capua.

I guess I'll have to switch to medium then because working diplomacy is one of the most important things for immersion and not losing interest. RTW was fundamentally flawed because of that and M2TW...
Yeah, but the recommended difficulty is H and all the features of the game are not even active at M. Like aggressive rebels and some other things I've forgotten about.
H/VH is where the the game...
Hmmm. But what about the perpetual wars between the AI factions? They seems to be making no alliances and offering no ceasefires. I think there might have been one case of AI making peace but I'm not...
The latest version. H/VH. Carthage. Most of North Africa west of Kyrene. Numidians have 3 provinces left. 2 provinces in Iberia. Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica. Magna Graecia and Massalia. ~210 turns...
More than twice in my game for sure. Probably around 5 times. Some of them in relatively rapid sequence. Now they have been around for a while but it can't be permanent because they are at war with...
My further thoughts.
Not once has the AI offered alliance or ceasefire. The endless circle of war, very occasionally punctuated by 12-15 turns of peace, is starting to get a bit overwhelming. Once...
So, I took a closer look at the diplomacy screen. If I exclude alliances where I myself am involved, only 4 factions have any allies and those are probably scripted ones. Most factions have several...
I think our disagreement is not fundamental, it's just a degree. Even I don't advocate Germania or Siberia where even the Romans couldn't go for the most part. It's just that I would place Britain on...
I think I might have noticed something similar. AI is quite eager to declare war but not so much to make peace. It can stay at war for decades with factions that they don't even border anymore.
I thought one of the goals of the Europa Barbarorum project from the beginning was to do away with Roman exceptionalism.
Personally, I don't even think that the exceptionalism is all wrong,...
The Romans live in similar climate but they could ultimately be convinced to found colonies outside their comfort zone (and be content with imported Mediterranean goods). Also, grapes have been grown...
Absolutely.
I think I noticed it when I first read the thread and wondered why nobody pointed it out. I think the problem (if there actually is one) is not about the unrest but permanency of...
IMO it's fine to have a gentle guiding hand in the beginning stages of the game to increase the chances of historical outcome but in the long term you run the risk of it all not making much sense in...
I don't think it's that much of an issue. You probably don't want to use a low loyalty general even with a spy, if you have any choice. The spy may just die, you may forget to put him there in the...
It applies to cities too, right? You can use a low loyalty governor as long as there's a spy in the city?
Isn't the CAI a bit suicidal? The Romans attacked me while already at war with 2 other factions both likely stronger than them. They are probably supposed to hate Carthage but that's going a bit too...
But there are buildings that cost more than 30000. Can the AI ever build them?
I also encountered this unplayable area around Tarentum. Units are all together in a tight mass (both mine and the enemy's).
No movement or orders are possible neither in battle or in the...
This attitude frankly infuriates me. This "doesn't work", "couldn't have happened", "impossible" only means one thing.
It means that you/we can't figure out how it might be possible. It doesn't...
I would recommend to play around with melee hit rate in battle_config.xml unless you have a lot of patience (and a vision) for reworking the edu.
In general I think the battles are ok, better than...
Never played Carthage in all the years of EB. Maybe it's time, finally.
Downloading the latest version after a 2 year absence.
Which factions are currently most complete/enjoyable?
As it should be.
Well, bracing only helps against charges (reverses the charge value against the cavalry). If the walk into spearmen they get no severe penalty apart from the limited spear...
Manually, yes. And only for infantry. It doesn't take that long to do, 20 minutes maybe.
I also increased the melee kill rate 10% and missile accuracy 20% to compensate.
Those numbers may need...
I presume there is some system going on with unit costs that takes into account whether it is a professional unit or not.
So yeah, professional unit can easily be much more expensive than...
A parody of alien invasion movies. I don't think I enjoyed it any less than a "serious" attempt like Independence Day.
It was damn obvious that it's a satire/comedy the first time I saw it back when it came out.
I don't remember a lot of the film but that much is clear. It was a good film and it wasn't taking itself...
Thank you, it's useful to know.
Can you give a short description of what these numbers actually mean?
The certainly look very bizarre.
<melee-hit-rate>0.3
<cavalry>3.50</cavalry>
<elephants>1.5</elephants>...
I haven't seen Flintstones since the original theatrical release. 12 year old me certainly didn't find anything wrong with it. Can't imagine what I would think now.
I'm quite happy with the movement distances. Yes, it has it's problems but so does restricted movement.
In the end extremely restricted movement is inherently unrealistic and immersion breaking.

Interpretations of the same medieval piece, by reputable ensambles (I don't mean some semi-pop nonsense), can be drastically different.
With the limited ancient repertoire it's even worse, the...
However, we know almost nothing about ancient music beyond a handful of melodies.
With ancient music it's almost all interpretation and guesswork.
Probably 10 times more so than with medieval...
