To clarify things a bit, I'm not complaining - it's just that I haven't seen a mod with such uniform unit pricing before. For example, take the Langobard starting situation: in their capitol you can...

Hello. Quick question about unit costs: it seems like a lot of units have the same money cost - is that intentional or a work in progress? :)

Huzzah! Good to see a new update - I'll go check it out.

Ha, a glorious victory! Well fought sir. I've been having some similar fun now that I have some relaxation time with the holidays. Those Wulfbronoz you get for Bolm family members continue to be...

I think the faction is called......Finneheider? I am terrible with Norse letters for some reason. Regardless, my initial few turns with them went poorly - I ran out of money by turn 3 due to a...

Had not heard of this mod until I saw it previewed on Gudea TW on youtube a few days ago. Usually I'm all about the late Hellenistic experience in mods like Europa Barbarorum and RTR VII, but I...

1) Can you please fix this for any future versions of IS?

2) In the meantime, what changes need to be made in the table quoted? I have DBE, I can access the pack file, I just have no clue...

Hellenistic Elite Troops Recruitment Adjustment

Short version: The current pike system in the mod (Levy - Bronze Shields - Silver Shields/Royal Agema), while great and mostly accurate, could stand...

Hey all,

Having an issue starting the mod with the launcher where it says that I have BI version "1, 6, 1, 0" when BI version 1.6 is needed. I have RTW on steam so I'm pretty sure everything is...

You guys are the ones who gave the city stronger troops. I bought the best and most that I could, and it wasn't enough. If I'm not supposed to easily take Chersonessos, then maybe telegraph that...

"Use archers to fire in the back and sides at the start of the siege ,don't attack in a single spot and split up the defending army .Enemy heavy cav can be beaten by properly microing your own cav...

Managed to defeat the initial rebel stacks near Chersonnessos, though my cavalry got chewed up because the Kimmerians completely lack heavy cavalry in the early game, so bodyguards and Scythian noble...

I hate you.

J/k - it actually wasn't that bad. Even easier than the instructions made it out to be.

Went after Paniardis first - battle went better, and the unrest was much better after I...

Sigh, okay, I'll go try to figure out the update install procedure again. RIP all my savegames. :(

Some clarification is in order:

1) I'm still playing 2.3 (2.3r maybe?) and have yet to upgrade to 2.35. If there have been major changes to KB, then I'm clearly missing those.

2) As powerful...

Okay, which one of you freaking psychopaths designed the Bosporan campaign start position?!?!?

1) My main army starts near the nomad settlement along the Don River. Is this the intended expansion...

Seriously, who the heck designed this thing? The Romans (playing as Epirus) have basically unkillable units thanks to all the chevrons they start the battle with. That makes usual unit...

All three of you have now misrepresented my argument as calling for tons of unbalanced and ahistorical units. Nice to see that you all thing so highly of yourselves as the prime arbiters of what is...

You know what, never mind. You're all so full of yourselves and incapable of entertaining alternate ideas that I'm no longer so sure of the quality of your historical analysis. Enjoy your "short...

And your argument isn't really helped by painting anyone who suggests units based on a different interpretation of historical sources as supporters of "fantasy" units or making factions bland by...

That sounds like it will be great. Do you have any sources for the units used by the Medewi Imperial Garrison based in Antioch? What about the Medewi expeditionary force that fought the Romans in...

Of course they didn't. The Arverni never conquered beyond Gaul, the Ardiaei didn't expand beyond Illyria, Pyrrhus didn't conquer Rome, Carthage never conquered Persia, Colchis was never more than a...

.........you mean like how every faction has cheap spears, peasant skirmishers, and javelin cavalry?

Polite disagreement. Why should a faction like Medewi be stuck with a roster based only on its historical confines? Why even bother making them playable if there's no intention of having them grow...

Here's a short list off the top of my head of factions that could better utilize a reorganization of their roster to reflect cultural military evolution over time:
- Ardiaei
- Colchis
- Kartli
-...

Here's my two cents on the matter:

One of the major things that sets certain factions apart as more........favored........is the extent to which they have mid/late game reforms. In the original...

@KAM: Hey, could you walk me through some of the thinking on having the Peltast Pikes use smaller shields than the Bronze Shields? I've finally gotten around to constructing my own pelte based my...

I can attest to this quite directly. I have a blacksmith friend who is crafting a sarissa for me (10 ft sections, metal sleeve, basic metal point/buttspike). During the course of our pricing...

True, though the only thing I'd caution is that ancient art, like our modern art/cinema, is not intended for super realism. Art conveys emotion, story, presence, etc. There are definite reasons why...

Yup. No matter the type/length/design, the spear type weapon seems to consistently provide some sort of ranged advantage over the sword (plus cost). And since you can always carry the sword as a...

It's not so much that spears are better, but rather do you want javelins or spears? As has been mentioned plenty, the sword is your secondary weapon since it's so very easy to carry on your person. ...

When does the script kick in? Is it something where if you bring siege weapons you could theoretically storm the city before the defense script summons extra defenders?

That's fair. I find the ability of the Europa Barbarorum games to have more room for historical flavor (descriptions, traits, buildings, stuff that Rome 2 can't handle because of inherent...

http://europabarbarorum.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Units_available_only_in_EB2

That's a good chunk of the EB2 unit list and I believe it has all the current Sabean units. Here's my brief outline of...

My understanding is that the Sabean military was very infantry based. The current cavalry variety might even be over-doing it a bit. If you look at Europa Barbarorum 2, you'll find them with an...

Keep it coming man, that sounds rather fascinating. Any updates on effective armies? Any luck with the high level spears (the ones without bows)?

Heresy! :tongue:

In all honesty, though, it's good to bounce around the map a bit to try out all the different army styles. The team's done a great job at fleshing out the variety and making...

I'll admit that it's making starting an Arverni campaign awfully tempting..................

All AI factions in the game are quite fond of building large armies. I've been annoyed as the Seleucids when I can maybe afford 2 stacks and little Nabatea romps around with 4. In normal Rome, I...

To be clear, I'm not talking about the automatic protection you receive at the start. What I'm talking about is the loyalty levels of all the parties. Last few games I've played, all the parties...
