    Also running windows 10, and having no trouble at all.
    If there were any compatibility issues with EB and windows 10, I think this board would be flooded with threads about it. So no need for...

    Re: Devestation

    My thoughts too. It prevents sending the northern army south to help deal with Epirus and conquer Region. Makes the game more challenging on both fronts.
  5. Re: What will be your first campaign after the autumn release?

    With the marian reforms confirmed I have to accept my inner fanboy and play as Rome. Have primarily played as hellenic factions thus far.

    Well the very point of keeping a garrison in a walled city is tho make defense easier. It's to be expected, and historical, that you will loose a lot of men when you try to take it by storm. To avoid...

    I think by far the easiest way of doing this is simply finding the folder where the music files are, renaming the audio-file you want in the game, to the same as the one you want to replace, and then...

    Re: Origins of the Greek Aspis

    Interesting hypothesis.
    However I can think of a couple of things that point in another direction.
    First of all the most revolutionary thing about the aspis was not the shape of the shield, but the...

  13. Re: Why Oh Why isn't there a marker button?

    When playing without banners it could have its uses for getting quick situational awareness. I could use it to be honest, but I am not desperate.
  14. Re: Where is the capital of Scandinavia in EB II?

    Parts of the Scandinavian peninsula are designated eremos, and are unconquerable. This is due to their lacking in population in the period.
  15. Re: Where is the capital of Scandinavia in EB II?

    I take offence. It is not "between the modern day Denmark and Sweden", but very much part of Denmark, and housing our Capital and half the population of the country. It's the island of Zealand. The...

    In twitter they had a preview of a polybian unit. Hastati I think. Too lazy to look it up.
  24. Poll: Re: Which new faction(s) are you most looking forward to, and why?

    I voted Pergamon.
    In the old EB, Pontos was (and is) one of my favourites, and Pergamon has an even more challenging starting position with powerful neighbors all around making clever diplomacy...

  26. Re: How viable are small factions in the AI's hands?

    One thing that might ease your mind is that it has been confirmed that factions can re-emerge with rebellion.
    Other than that, having units free of maintenance costs in your cities could make small...

  29. Re: Proposals for a more proper name for this mod?

    A name does not have to be an accurate description of a product. "Apple" does not sell fruits, and IBM (International Business Machines) have also made products for private use. In this case "Europa...
