Europa Barbarorum FAQ

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

There is only one reform for Saka, however it requires a four year period to completely initiate, if that is what you mean...

It says in my cities "Becoming Indo-Saka".... Is the marker the final one or is there a "Became Indo-Saka"?

If I wipe out the Roman before Marian reforms, can I still get the late body guard?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

The vanilla marian reforms only require a huge city in central Italia, it doesn't matter who builds it.

[Vann7]

With Carthage: reform.. the faq says..

-At least year 235BC
-Build at least 5 (L5 regional MIC)(royal_barracks_V1) in these cities (Lepki, Garama, Adrumeto, Kirtan, Ippone, Tuat, Siga, Lixus, Sala, Gader, Mastia, Sucum-Murgi, Baikor, Arsé, Oxtraca, Numantia, Emporion, Tyde, Pallantia, Vellika, Tolosa, Massalia, Segesta, Arretium, Ariminum, Roma, Capua, Arpi, Taras, Rhegion)

In others words to build the latest regional military buildings in at least in FIVE cities from that list ?

Or

in Every one of those? :hmmm:


i hope is the first one ,or we will need to almost finish the game victory condition to get the reform.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

L5 Regional MIC in five random cities, not all of them.

[Vann7]

Cool thanks.. i have another question..

What are (OUTLYING REGION.. Alliance available ... this is a marker...)
and Subjugation available ?

WHat are the diferences...?
THe FAQ is not very clear about what it does.. or examples of its benefits... thanks.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

"Subjugation" and "Alliances Available" are the government 'resource' markers. They indicate what level of government you can build in that particular settlement.
There should be a link in the FAQ to a government explaination...

[gaius valerius]

I'm playing AS, and I'm trying to get the Cataphract reform, now this is really tiresome as I have to lose battles which is totally not my style .

But what I was wondering: what sort of battles? Can I for example send in a general and have him fight a huge stack of the Pahlava (including of course at least 1 cataphract), have him engage and subsequently lose (with autocalc?) and after I've done this with 2 generals that trait will come up? Or do I need to lose a battle with a big stack myself?

Srry, I find getting this reform confusing

Thx, GV

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

You should be able to get the trait with autocalc, if the conditions are met. Make sure that the enemy have a lot of cavalry an army with all infantry and one cataphract won't do.

[Valerius Tiberius]

edit: delete this, question anwsered-

[Peccavi]

for the persian reforms is that in reference to pahlava? and does that basically mean i have to take over the entire arche selukia and baktria before i get any sort of reform?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

The "Persian Reforms" are for Hayasdan.
Pahlav doesn't really have a reform. They just have a "reformed" government type, which is a non-nomadic government type they can build in Persia and is available from the start.

[Son of Mao]

What is the difference between "Parthian Cataphracts" and "Parthian Noble Cataphracts"?

The "Parthian Cataphracts" come later than the "Parthian Noble Cataphract" and cost slightly less but have the same stats?

[Peccavi]

Marcus could you elaborate more on how the Pahlava reforms work? like i'm still not able to build a proper barracks for horse archers or anything..all i'm getting is borderline crap persian spearman who can generally not stand against anything Arche Seleukia sends at me

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

You have to build up the proper infrastucture before the Pahlav reform governments can be built. I don't recall exactly. Check the building tree that came with the download, I believe they'll tell you what you need.

[Peccavi]

building tree? how? where? all i got was the recruitment viewer and documentation stuff

oh and how do i get the goddamn parthian reform governments! i have to drag parthian archers from gabai all the way the seleukia because it isn't working!

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

The building trees are under "Rome - Total War/EB/documentation/JMRC building trees".

You need Royal Herds->Settled Aristocracy, pastoralism->reformed pastoralism->advanced settlement, and the provisional government before you can upgrade your town, I think...

[Son of Mao]

Vanilla Marians are also required for the Reformed Pahlava gvmt.

[Vercenetorix]

I have EB1.0 running at pretty much high everything with a screen resolution of 1600x950

My problem is that the unit cards and the building cards displayed on the campaign map are so pixelated to be unreadable.
the buildings dialog in a settlement the same. though the unit recruitment dialog is fine.

I don't know where to post this. so i'm doing it here.
