Europa Barbarorum II FAQ

[Moros]

1. Will you use the possibility to award titels by clicking on the character you want it for, like in HRR?

2. Will you picture the republican systems of Rome and Carthage in any special way?

3. Have you already decided what you will do with agents like merchants, princesses, priests, heretic and inquisitors?

4. What will you do with Guilds?

1. not as of yet. Who knows what the future brings?
2. As in EBI your characters can gain offices,... Possible additional features are for a future preview, or for the release.
3&4 No final decision has been taken. Or at least is not yet made public.

@MarcusAureliusAntoninus: you might want to update the section linking to stèles/previews.

I have a question
First of all may I say I am one of EB's most fervent fans and I am a great admirer of what your team is doing
...Anyway,I was going through the 'dominion of the sword' mod forum and it said that it was implementing a newly designed tech tree I was wondering if this system could be used in the making of EB2
as it will deeply enrich the game experience.
Thank you!

We have already designed entirely new game mechanics for EBII. I think you will the find the experience most pleasing.

And what is suitable for one era, is not suitable representing another.

Thanks a lot
really looking forward to this mod I think it will completely revolutionize the way we look at mods

[Azrael de silva]

Urm sorry to do disturb yall again...but I have one other teeny question
I read that the romans were great fans of fort building...so could it be made possible for the roman faction to have the ability to construct marching camps(your basic build option for an army in total war) and then after some time (for eg ten turns) if the fort is still standing it will be possible for the player to upgrade it to a permenant stone fortress that can be used to defend a position on the campaign map and where soldiers can be retrained(not trained)...It can also contribute towards quelling uprising in a region.
I know I might be asking too much from the team but I just think that this would be more realistic and really awesome!
Thanks in advance

[spanish_emperor]

^ i believe its not possible to have them both. only the stone forts or the wooden death trap forts. Considering that stone forts which look like mini castles were obviously not in the roman era then the EB team might opt for the wooden forts. However, maybe when its possible someone will modify and make new wooden forts that better represent them historically or someone could modify them and make them appear like mini cities or nomad villages? which can be implemented in a manner like DotS to make up for the limit of provinces?

[Azrael de silva]

yeah that will be pretty awesome

[COMIS -3- ΠΑΝΙΩΝΑΡΑ]

Will you include the retrain of mercenary units in settlements like MTW2 and Kingdoms?

[Leonidas480bc]

Will you include the retrain of mercenary units in settlements like MTW2 and Kingdoms?

If they do i hope they add a building that is a cross between a marketplace and barracks to allow the recruiting and retraining of mercenaries

[COMIS -3- ΠΑΝΙΩΝΑΡΑ]

Leonidas i don't believe that recruiting mercs is a good idea,but i will like to see more regional units similar to the merc pool of the region

[QUINTUS FABIUS MAXIM]

If they do i hope they add a building that is a cross between a marketplace and barracks to allow the recruiting and retraining of mercenaries

in MTW II mercenaries are already retrainable..

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I don't think there is any way to disable the ability to retrain mercenaries garrisoned in regions with more of that mercenary type available in the pool.

Who know if the team of EB and EB2 could be interest to create a EB3 mod for Empire Total War with Roman naval battle ? (yes i know, it need a creazy work for create Roman naval battleships !!)

And for a preview about Roman Faction, are you agree to do it ? Or post new screen about roman army ?

[I Am Herenow]

It is currently far too early to say whether or not there will be an "EB III", especially given that EB II is still unfinished and is currently being worked on. As for an EB II Romani preview, you will have to wait and see.

Heya, this mod has been under-construction for quite a while now is there any chance of a percentage of how much has been done, I'm ure it's gonna be a kick-chuck-norris-down-the-stairs mod but i'm just curious

[A Very Super Market]

The answer will either be "We're working on it", or "It's done when it's done". Taking all bets.

[mikil100]

I'm not sure if you guys can clearly answer such a specific answer at the moment, but as a huge EB fan I'll have at it.


As you guys have seen in Kingsdoms the AI can be greatly improved ( The AI in SS is simply amazing to me compared to vanilla). Now in regards to it attacking, can we expect the AI to wait to attack until it has a large army capable of dealing heavy damage, or will it be more random in that sense.


Also, I read that you plan on having Kleuorch(sp) Phalangites garrison for free by certain factions, but give them an extremely expensive upkeep when out of garrison. Won't this severly hamper the AI's income? I don't think it recognizes free garrisons and and such... correct me if I'm wrong


Also, I heard the Diplomacy AI and is not linked to the AI that makes movements and other actions in the world, is this true? If so do you guys have any plan for helping out this issue?

[spanish_emperor]

to be honest, considering the AI's incompetence when dealing with units and upkeep i have been trying to find some better ways to go around this problem. I thought of scripting the AI to automatically come up with simple armies based on their number of settlements and percentage of religious followers when they declare war while these armies automatically disband when they proclaim a ceasefire.

the problem here is they would always appear at the capital, regardless if the faction's capital has already been taken. however, considering the conquest of the capital normally resulted in the destruction of the faction for it to work would mean the capital should be the last territory any player or AI capture meaning not only well defended (garrison scripts) but hard to maintain if captured.

If there's going to be an EBIII it will not be for ETW, and NTW either. Too uncompatibel.
