I am all for it!
The Guild System looks promising and super realistic.
I don't know if it can be implemented though...
What does our beloved developement team say?

So you're saying you aren't adding one? :tongue:

I am for the changes in Illyria, as it seemed too empty anyways. Since we all know by now that the next release would include an "Illyrian" faction it was a necessity.
But the argument remains.
Too...

I liked the option of Allied Generals in EB1.
It gave a realistic feeling to the game. Gamewise it was a good solution short term.

If you could implement just a few generic units as AG,...

Nice feedback 2Saz.
In my Pontic campaign I encountered the same situation with diplomacy. I believe the EBTeam is aware of that and working towards a solution.
IMO spies are OK, it's the assasin...

To bring a closure to this thread:
QS I've followed your advise and updated to 2.05 (lattest). You are right. It's a totally different game! I've noticed that the unit roster for Pontos and Armenia...

Two more provincies in Illyria but not Amphipolis? Shame...:(

Thanks again Shadowwalker and Quintus.

I was waiting for the "full" summer release to upgrade my version.
I 'll wait some more for 2.1 version and give you some feedback after that.

Thank you for your answers Sylon and Quintus.

I didn't know that the charge value was referring to the primary-thrown javelin.
It seemed weird for a melee unit to have such a low charge value.
...

First of all the full Caucasian roster includes:

-Caucasian Spearmen (Katpatuka Astibara)
melee atttack = 2
missile attack = 9
Charge = 4

Defence = 11
Armour = 3
Skill =6

Baktria 5
Hayastan 5
Koinon Hellenon 9+
Leusitane 7
Nabatean Empire 5
Pontos 5
Ptolemaioi 1-
Saka Rauka 5

I'd like to see an Illyrian (maybe the Autoriate?) and an Eastern faction.
A good canditate would be Cappadocia, Kartveli or even the Galatians of Asia Minor.
I know that the area is crowded with...

In my Pontic campaign I used levies up until the reforms, due to lack of any serious infantry option.
So units like Pontic Doryphoroi, Katpatuka infantry and archers and euzonoi saw A LOT of action....

I've recently started a Karxidon campaign and i'm not really sure why there are two different colony branches.
Let me explain:
The first seems to be financial oriented and only gives happiness and...

Hail Shah Shehvar! Congrats!
You got lucky with the Ptolies. By the time I managed to get rid of the Seleukids, they had no cities left in Asia Minor. I'm surprised that Pergamos hasn't attacked...

As a fellow Pontus player here's my 2 cents.

-Don't misuse your initial army.
Some players disband the cavalry or make similar debt relief decisions. I don't. Try to expand quickly. Get...

IMO five settlements should suffice for the British Isles.
There is only one faction there and four settlements are enough to built a power base.
Whereas in Greece and/or Palestine the settlements...

This topic rocks! Great insight from a lot of people.
I play mostly "Eastern" campains and I have some suggestions for them (since most of you guys seem to "love" the Celts or Greeks).

Agreed.

I'm sorry is this sarcasm? Cause I can't always tell.

Meanwhile in the West a new thread was building up. Reports came from our spies in Ionia that the ambitious Attalid family, rulers of Pergamos, had made a secret pact with the Seleukids and were...

I agree with your point of view.
I always thought this mod as a great opportunity to improve the gameplay of vanilla and to add a realistic feeling to the game.
When we talk about "barbarians"...

It's every fanboy's dream to lead red-hooded-geraldbutler-like Spartan Hoplites into battle! You just can't take that away!

Since I opened this thread, there's been a lot of positive response to...

On my early Pontos campaign:

2 FMs (heavy cavalry)
2 Katpatuka cavalry (light cavalry)
or
2 Armenian cavalry
2 Asiatikoi Hippakontistai (skirmisher cavalry)
3-4 Phallanggitai (battle line)...

I'm sorry then. I had to make it clear that i was referring to a different suggestion. A few days back I started a thread about the inclusion of Amphipolis as a province and got a lot of positive...

Siegefest? With only one more city? I 'm not sure about that.
I mean there are eight cities in mainland Greece and six just in western Anatolia.
I firmly support the inclusion of Amphipolis....

I agree about Argos. Not that it wasn't important during Hellenistic times (which settlement in Germania was more important for example?) but it would be a waste of space to squeeze it between Sparte...

As others have said before, eight settlements in Britain are way too many, both historically and gameplay wise.
I'd say that some of the provinces in Germania and Gaul are a reach as well. Having so...

You are right Nicov55. Considering how many cities and camps are included in the Germanic and Gaul region of the map, it makes me wonder how come major Greek cities like Amphipolis or Argos (in the...

In most campaigns I've played so far, the Epeirotes have an easy task conquering Pella and effectively taking out the Macedonians from the beginning.
Historically speaking things never happened so...

In the Spring of the same year, all military preparations were complete. News have arrived from the East that the Seleucids were fighting against an invasion by the Parthian Kingdom of Pahlava and...

Sleepless were the nights of preparation and tireless and feverish the efforts of King Artaxerses. From the day of His birth he was groomed to take His place in History. He was trained in bow, in...

What i understand is that they ALL painted/decorated themselves for battle. Which was common in Africa until the 19th century. I just don't see why it would be a special unit.

Forest Tribal or any...

I'm sold.
Still have some second thoughts about the proposed units (painted warriors? really?). I imagine a tribal infantry,some heavier (but unarmored) shock infantry, light skirmishers, good...
