What would you like to see Europa Barbarorum II

[Stath's]

I don't think Rasic meant to swear at you, Petroniu. I believe he was talking about "if anyone thinks that, he is probably an idiot". After all, it seems that your opinions do not differ as you both say this thread will not be taken into consideration from the EB team (which is my opinion, too).

[bobbin]

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?

They can be done but the downside is that they will never change in appearance, so a town will look the same as a huge city etc. There is also the fact that it is just far too much work for us to do as a team.

[Rasic]

Right back at you!

I was speaking of the hypothetical EB'ers who would be confused at such a post, not you, sorry for the confusion.

[Petroniu]

Oh, sorry for that then!

[Karamazovmm]

I want to see it released, thats the best feature that I want, to play it

[LukeCorn]

I would like custom generals speeches (but I think that will be happening anyway because MTWII speeches won't sound to good) and no standard RTW speeches. Greeks being Sons of Hercules is just to me (Btw. Hercules is Roman and Herakles is Greek for the same hero)

[The Kybrothilian]

New speeches and diplomacy voices would be nice to see in the future.

Also, I think there should be sort of a "migration" building for factions that migrated often, like the Celts and Germans. The idea is that after you build a migration building, it will either spawn units just outside the settlement, or it will allow you to recruit troops with a very big discount for costs. As a downside, it would cause a massive population decrease, and the building itself will automatically be destroyed after a few turns.

We will be using a migration/colonisation mechanic in EBII, although it won't work how you described.

Very interesting, could be a feature that really gives a sense of changing history radically.

[Fabricus]

Different starting points.

does that sound like non-static recruitment restrictions or does it not?
now if i'd have to guess i'd say that the player will be able to "consturct" the population buildings through migration, thus changing the units he can recruit

ah, speculation, there is nothing like it

Does it let you create hordes of warriors ready to migrate into foreign lands?

[Aiskhylos]

Amongst many things I hope to see; I would love to see succession disputes and civil wars, especially in the Hellenistic kingdoms; also the use of Pdfs to represent various independent poleis and tribal centers

[daimyo]

would be great to see some baltic or slavic faction in baltic region (there was pretty strong tribe there called Curonians in english and kursi in latvian)
i think that region is used less than others, so it would be great to try make empire from baltic side

or add some faction in india as Nanda Empire or Maurya Empire

actually i want to know, how many factions are allowed in M2TW?

[Himster]

It would be great to see anything.

[Samariten]

Being able to choose early, mid or late campign so you have same amount of turns in each era. Historical sites, buildings and events as in EBI.

[Auxor]

I would love to see more focus on areas of the map which were previously marginalised like North Africa and Britain.

Also more music tracks for the campaign map would be good.

[HAL9000]

I would like to see it done...
On another note, I would like to see more of an improvement in AI naval invasions.

[Gusten Grodslukare]

I read somewhere that the scale of the campaign map in EB2 should be larger than in EB1. I like the scale of the map in Roma Surrectum 2 and hope that the scale of the map in EB2 will be something similar or larger. It would be great if also the scale of units in EB2 was smaller so one unit can't block a valley in the Alps or the Pyrenees. Does anyone know what scale the campaign map in EB2 will have?

Although Rome 2 is going to be different when it comes to fighting to take control of the cities (judged by the Battle of Carthage video) and in other ways I look forward to EB2 just as much as I look forward to Rome 2.

[Appius Pulcher]

The campaign map is going to be 1.3 x bigger than in EB1.

Other than that I find it highly realistic that an army can block a mountain pass. In fact the romans did station legions at mountain passes for this purpose.
