    Re: Couple of Pahlava Issues

    Kinda, but we're still talking about the Parthians, i.e.: cavalry people.
    Think of it this way: you can't recruit quality Iranian spearmen with the Seleukids, who favoured infantry much more than...
  2. Re: Need help with source for Saka (Scythian) military units names (and names in general)

    As far as I know, most names have been reconstructed using the comparative method and taking Ossetian as the source language. If you want to know more about what that actually means you can look at...
  3. Re: So what exactly are they saying on the campaign & battle maps anyway? My transliterations!

    If you were Italian this one would carry a much different, much darker meaning.

    Don't know if you still need this, but, once you have them grouped, you can preserve the line by holding the right mouse button instead of clicking.

    Re: Missiles in the EBII

    So far I've seen soldiers throwing all kinds of projectiles over their buddies. Even javelins somehow go over their heads and hit the enemy.

    It's no use. The AI will always give precedence to units over buildings, regardless of the amount of money at its disposal.

    As for the bows, if you want to look at alternatives, Grozer makes...

    Re: Europa Barbarorum II FAQ

    I was curious about its use amongst the Sakas, since it's mentioned as "sacred Haoma" in their campaign panel. They weren't Zoroastrians, were they?

    Re: How to Uninstall previous version of EB2

    You should be able to uninstall it from the control panel. Alternatively you could manually remove the folder and delete the entry in the registry.

    Re: Europa Barbarorum II FAQ

    Why were the Sakas living close to Baktria called "haumavarga" (hauma-drinking) by the Persians? Is it simply a misnomer or is there some evidence of this practice amongst them?

    Re: Europa Barbarorum II FAQ

    Random historical question: Antiochos I supposedly gained his title after a victory over the Galatians. Do we know anything about that battle?

    Speaking of battle difficulty, are there any drawbacks in using a setting higher than the recommended M?

    Sticky: Re: Launcher & String and CTD issues(post here)

    Hi, I'm getting a lot of CTDs during the first 30 turns or so of my Roman campaign, which is weird because I got over 200 turns with Pahlava and Areuaci without problems.

    Thank you both. I installed it and used jdofo's preset to tone down the white.
    And it's gorgeous! I swear even the campaign map looks better now.

    Reshade still doesn't work for me, so I'm going to try GEMFX. It looks great but which version should I install?

    Re: Why not..

    Are you talking about the Parthian bodyguards? I don't think they're supposed to be cataphracts, just heavily-armoured horse archers. And they're still armed with maces.

    Re: Battle formations

    AFAIK the right side was reserved to noble/elite regiments in the Hellenic kingdoms and possibly Persia.

    Does it work with graphic cards other than NVidia? Specifically Intel?
