For me anyway. It's very hard to tell whether this mod is actually working or not from what I read in the forums. Crashes, reverting language and models? Machine gun, ship and tanks fubared and/or...

Thanks. I feel like a dumbass for not knowing that but, after all these years of owning the game, I never used hotseat.

What I was really looking for was a mod that allows us to control multiple allied cultures. TW allies have always been, and remain, useless when under AI control.

I've tried searching the forum for this but haven't found any solution so hopefully someone has an answer...

Playing as Dale, I got an invasion called on me by The Dark Lord of Mordor. Three...

OK. Thanks. The wording was just cryptic enough (for me anyway) that I wanted a clarification.

I'm curious about the warning not to "cheat" on the economy that is in the pop-up when first starting a campaign. Does this refer to using cheat codes or is it a warning not to change the tax rates...

the reference to a good vs evil sub-mod was made in a couple threads but I don't see it listed anywhere. Is this a feature of some other mod or compilation? My interest was piqued when I read that it...

First off, let me say I'm loving this mod. the...tempo of development, due to cost, is refreshingly realistic. Combat has also been a big improvement for me...I'm playing battles I would have auto...

First, EBII is fantastic!

1) I chose to free myself of Mauryan vassal-hood early - like turn 12. I started getting Mauryan Invasion messages a couple turns later and, at...

I'm torn between Marine General Smedley Butler who said:

LC, your aspirations as a modern historian are laudable but I think (hope) the post you were commenting on may (or should) have been referring to historians of the age that MTW takes place in. They...

It's interesting to see an independent province in France and Turkey as late as 1121. I'm curious if they have been that way all along or were...

Let's be sure we aren't mixing several different types of troops together here if we can.

Mercenaries, to my understanding, would be trained, equipped soldiers. As such, I tend to agree their...

Agreed!!! This conversation doesn't belong in "the Long Road" mod thread.

Well, if a script could trigger a Jihad to retake any cities taken by Crusades, that would be great. Other than that, I suppose having a Crusader also trigger a "gift" of units to the defending city...

At the risk of over-generalizing, the early crusades were launched against an unprepared foe. They had not had a need to heavily garrison the major cities and were spending their time subduing rebels...

OK...thanks. That must certainly be how it works for the Caspian Sea but it still elaves me wondering about the Gulf of Suez and the Arabian Gulf. Both do lead to the sea in the real world but not on...

I'm curious if anyone knows who a Port built in...say..Basra, or on the Caspain Sea or the Gulf of Suez would actually trade with. Only other ports that are actually on that same Sea or does trade...

If that's all it takes, then no problem. The only question would be the scripts - what you want said. If Xenophobia is working on this, I'll check them out too. the fun part would be scripting them...

Personally, I'm not finding raising them all that annoying and the value of doing so is worth the wait. I do like the heredity concept although it would need a "variable" to account for guys who...

What does it take to add audio, specifically pre-battle speeches, to a faction? I've got the tools and experience to create them I'm sure but I'd need to know the format you need them in.

OH!!! I forget to mention how much I'm enjoying the latest version. I took several months off from the game and the latest stuff is fantastic, thanks!!!

You managed to answer the question I didn't ask as well which was whether there was an upper limit to units. I think some folks are unclear on the relationship between trees and units.

Am I...

I can't disagree with you on any of this. I guess my opinion is option #3 but only with modifications that allow either eventual "assimilated" local units or some other mechanism to avoid "army after...

#3 seems the most realistic to me. Your faction-unique units come only from home provinces. You can use or build buildings in non-home provinces to create "plain vanilla" or militia units locally.

Question-Did you have any preists or spies in your army? I've seen that cause desertions when transporting via ship.

I should clarify my point. A player can make something out of Scotland but I've never seen the AI do much with it.

I'm only about 10 years into a b5 game playing as Hungary on H/VH. What I've noticed so far is that I had a pretty big starting army and am finding expansion very easy. Since I will restrain myself...

Scotland...where can they expand if they don't go after England? Obvious places early would all be sea invasions - Western France and Scandinavia - but can you force the AI to do that? I dunno

If you hadn't found this already, it's a great map resource.

OK...Plan B that might accomplish the same thing:

Can the benefits of conversion be made attractive enough to the AI that it selects that option while still accomplishing these two things:
