What would you like to see Europa Barbarorum II

[Bdunk21]

I personally would like to see diplomacy in this game, As that is the biggest problem I think for RTW. And not having an erratic AI.

I also would like to see the time period be able to be split like late era early era.

And also a big building tree like in ROMA SURRECTUM II

Any thoughts on these? AND what about you?

I agree with having better diplomacy, too often the diplomacy is ruined in mods like broken crescent where your faction's reputation is ruined with any of the factions not long into the game without having betrayed anyone or done anything negative. Which makes it impossible to use diplomacy effectively if at all, so any improvement on the diplomacy system would be welcome.

Unique battlemap cities...

Good point! I'd like the same thing too, but not in the first release cuz that is a lot of work and it would just prolong the long waited. The IB2 guys did a great job with that kind of approach and now they are planning to bring it all together in a major mod. It turned out well I say.

I'd love some factions to have very hard starting positions... maybe starting with one settlement that is about to be attacked. It shouldn't be very hard if there is already another faction with the same culture.

[Mr Kriegtooth]

Theres only 31 starting positions, so a faction like that would only be good for the player, but I dont know the plans for factions in EB2

and agreed with diplomacy and unique battlemaps!

Unique battlemap cities...

I never thought of that.. is this planned for the beta release? that sounds like a LOT of work modeling all those building.

Honestly above all else I want less aggressive AI. It is annoying that you are invariably forced to invade someone else in order to prevent fullstacks attacking every single turn (even two cities can pump out huge armies against you). Once you conquer an entire faction, then you are neighbors with a new faction, and then you have to invade them so they don't keep attacking you. It is a cycle that keeps repeating and makes it impossible to be a progressive expansionist who secures and establishes territories rather than just conquering and burning everything in sight to gain some respite from endless onslaught of fullstacks.

I believe A.I. ought to be aggressive otherwise the game is not challenging. And if its aggressiveness is not as "smart" as we wish, then we have to be satisfied with the fact that "at least it is aggressive, it does not sit around and watches me do whatever i want, it creates some problems for me"

[Risasi]

...and then you have others who tire of AI anything and prefer to play humans. Which is why I play hotseat games with friends. I don't expect it will work, but I would like to see hotseat working in EBII.

If I was making a mod and wanted unique battlemaps for cities, I'd just make a certain few. It'd be utterly mindblowingly amazing to do them ALL, but eh...alot of cities I assume we dont know was really like in the medieval or ancient times, and well, too much work for too little

[metsikhovne]

omg omg unique carthage will be so fabulous. i wish i could help guys .

[Petroniu]

omg omg

You should chill out. This thread is a fan "wish list" and little to nothing will ever be in the mod. Certainly nothing in the first release. You guys should stop dreaming too much because it gets other confused and when the mod is released they will blame the team for not making features they never said they will. I believe that for the sake of the EB2 team you should flag this kind of threads as fan threads.

That would be really awesome, but so impossible for the team to make new factions.

I didn't really mean unique battlemaps for famous cities (although that would amazing). If I recall correctly you can't upgrade custom battlemap cities in med anyways it just always has to be the same. I was speaking more on just the regular culture cities sounds, alone, like a load of work to do and if that was going to be in the first release or if we were going to have the same models from med2 vanilla.

I had to laugh at this a little, It's not like the thread is sticked official. If you can't get the gist of it from the title then you're probably an idiot and going to blame the team for those "missing features" anyways.

[Mr Kriegtooth]

Ah I see I dont know much about modding. I love playing mods, but cant make them since dial up Cant upload a damn thing. Too bad there cant be unique cities though. Wonder if anybody could hax the game enough to allow it? At least the map usually makes it kinda unique, see the sea off in the distance when seizing Venice for example

And yeah, I doubt anybody will really think this is a serious thread XD

[Petroniu]

you're probably an idiot

Right back at you!
