This should be true for the very elite knights like templars, lancers, hospitallers, gothic knights and similar cavalry. They are super motivated, almost fanatical and also skilled. Feudal knights...

I started by taking sinope and defeating the ptolemaic stack, then i took those 2 cities in the east ( don't remember the name ) and my kingdom now bordered armenia. I took advantage of the fact that...

Played pontos and found It too Easy. It has a difficult start but then you can spam those Galatian foot retainers not Just in Galatia but a bit everywhere for some reason... they are One of the best...

I Always thought It would be noce of phalangitai had a " charge " ability when in close proximity to the enemy. It Is entirely possibile that pikemen in general would increase their pace when closing...

Barbarian factions in general don't have really much armour, i think they probably had access to Chain mail or at least leather protection. It:s ok if you Say that the findings don't suggest they...

Since armour is relatively low in EB2, AP weapons don't make much of a difference. They become OP when fighting cataphracts or elite troops with heavy armour. I don't see why kopis should be armour...

I noticed that unit rosters, expecially barbarians, tend to have too many similar, all purpose units. This is true for example for the arevaci and lusitani, they have like, a dozen of infantry units...

It's not even fun tho, if there is not some kind of rock paper scissor, maybe mitigated but still... take vanilla M2TW for example, heavy cavalry beats infantry, pikemen beat cavalry, archers do a...

True, for hoplitai and troops trained in a similar way, thanks to the very large shield and long spear. But the other spearmen with cheaper equipment and less training, for what reason they beat...

Why not realistic? Why hypaspistai should not beat lesser infantry quickly? They cost a lot and they are avaiable like once every 30 turns. Hystorically, they were the best infantry, picked...

I think infantry units are too much a jack of all trades, even cheap troops can put up a long fight against stronger ones. Units should be differentiated in " classes ".... for example, the infantry...

I think they are ok, for example peltastai logades comes at 120 but they beat hoplitai that come at 160. In my opinion they don't need more numbers, they need more attack strength to better...

In EB2 it is not really convenient to train elite infantry unless it is needed for specific purposes like assaulting the walls of a city. In any other case you might want to just train medium quality...

Make battles less a " flank and encircle " sure way to win. The AI doesn't manage well it's units and they often end up mobbed by the player. It could be accomplished by making infantry somewhat more...

As far as i remember hypaspistai have an upkeep of about 850 or higher. Hoplitai haploi are at 230 or something. And élites are also fewer in Number, like 120 against 160. Let's also factor that High...

One thing i also noticed is the cost of some of the high tier units like hypaspistai, cataphracts, champions etc... they surely are strong but not worth the cost. Let's take 1 band on hypaspistai and...

Thanks for your answers, and i see that we basically agree on most things, more or less.

Let's answer to Bladvak:

- Cavalry OP? When they charge from behind or they trample archers or slingers,...

So, i played EB and many other mods quite a lot, and i wish to express my opinions about europa barbarorum I both as a player and as a modder myself.

There are things i liked a lot, things i...

ok solved by turning the game to english, thx!

So i found that when playing VH campaign difficulty there is something wrong with the AI, because if you attack them with a much stronger army they still accept the battle and do not retreat. Also,...

You mean the game's language or the mod's language? If it's the game, how do i change it? I have the steam version

No it's localized in my own language... should i change it to english? I noticed that with the mod, the units answer to orders in english but the whole game is in another language. Also, the vanilla...

I downloaded the steam parts ( 3 parts ) and loaded them in the proper order. The game works but there is no unit description, only empty boxes... plz someone help?

Hello, i just downloaded the mod for steam, all 3 parts and it works but the units are missing the textual description for some reason ( there is no text inside the box )... any way to fix it?

Infantry mass vs cavalry in my experience has nothing to do with It. On the opposite, cavarly mass counts a lot, with heavy knights at about 4 or 5 points of mass, they tend to ride over infantry...

About Campaign Ai: as skill increases, the ai cheats by being given more money, Is more aggressive and they cheat in autoresolve when facing the player ( they usually troll you because their units...

Are you afraid of your panties becoming wet? :laughter:... don't worry, my mod is not that good

You may want to reinstall eb2 if you have other mods installed, and my mod overwrites many files in the data folder... it may still work tho, but you'd have a pastiche of different mods instead of...

Maybe i exaggerated by saying " hypaspist level " since they are by far the best infantry unit avaiable in EB2, even tho they aren't portrayed realistically because hypaspist in fact were medium...

" Weakness to heavy infantry " i mean at least principes level infantry. They have enough equipment to whitstand pikemen, mainly thx to their large shields and chainmail. I don't mean they should...

The battle of cynocephalae was lost because of poor strategic decisions by the macedonian commander. He split the phalanx in 2, with one part remaining back near the camp, and they had to rush up to...

No it doesn't affect charge but i decided to eliminate the " cause fear " attribute for gameplay reasons.

I'm happy that someone appreciates my submod. I made it with one thing in mind: make the game more challenging. I managed to do it by changing many things, but it is mostly about unit's stats. You...

I'm not really sure that to drill and equip a pike phalanx was easier and cheaper than an hoplite one, but it is clear that a pike phalanx has many disadvantages, expecially on rough terrain and/or...

Well they aren't great in all situations, but if used properly they perform well, for example defending a position, killing heavy cav and light infantry, holding a battle line while you flank the...

In autoresolve only the stats of the units are taken into consideration, and since pikemen have in general low stats in most mods, they fare poorly in the campaign map, even if they are good in the...

Since i've looked into many battles and i realized that fleeing units that are put in the front are likely to disrupt your own formations that are approaching from behind, i' ve wondered if it can be...

I've thought about this: waging war has a lot of downsides ranging from economy to politics, prestige, relations with the pope and other factions, etc...

So, in order to be more realistic i've...

Well as you said, forts may be useful in some mods... it doesn't change the fact the ai is uncapable of using forts. They will just trap themselves in a defensive position and after just 3 turns they...

Forts are quite useless and the ai doesn't make a good use of them anyway ( they function almost like a trap, you can then siege the fort and eliminate an army without much trouble, or trap yourself...
