When I referred to "glitching" I was referring precisely to that "dancing", its like they start shaking. With the numbers I provided, I managed to avoid that effect whilst still making the formation...

I've been doing some tests with the new experimental pack, one of them regarding the Hoplitai Phalanx.


It is notorious that hoplites will behave in odd, if not ineffective, ways: they will...

The new battle pack is simply marvelous in many aspects, I will post a more detailed review in the future.

One of the things that forces me to apply the submod in order to change the hoplite phalanx formation to the alternative phalanx (which makes hoplites behave like simple spearmen) is the backline...

the only constant in this game is that whoever conquers libya will have the nasamones violent protestors breaking their cities ad eternum.

One of the small requests I have is to bring back some units from the old spartan roster, such as Metioikoi Hoplitai and some few others that dont exist anymore; the spartan roster feels a bit barren...

Since I dont know in which thread I could post this without it being off-topic, and if this thread is improper feel free to close/delete it;


I only wished to create this post to convey my thanks...

I also have to admit that in a recent battle against the seleucids, albeit I was way more outnumbered and had like 1 cav, they managed to do some resemblance of cavalry maouvering that actually made...

As someone who hasnt played this game or mod in literal years, and who is coming from Rome II, I wonder if people could post their battle experiences here and tell if the game feels challenging...

Regarding the first part, my intention wasnt to give the radical argument that because its a game we shouldnt expect an attempt at realism by it; rather, its more on the lines of: in the development...

the faction unlocks arent working for me

1. we cant mod the AI

@Antiochos VII Sidetes
2. you only say its god awful and a huge mistake without basing that assertion on anything; I can (as I did above) provide all kinds of proof as to...

rule 1 of the page 1 of the book of how to deal with the TW community:

always ignore the AI's apologist, never take him seriously, never feed him, he is the equivalent of a malformed warp entity...

I'm sorry but I think that someone complaining that their flanking "is useless" is much more of a pedantic issue of someone being annoyed that braindead playstyles arent rewarded... flanking will...

well I have some suggestions that wouldnt fix but at least would diminish the intensity of the problem:


1. lower some of the men count in cavalry units (an exception could be made to cavalry...

Not really, AI cav has a constant habit of charging straight into heavy infantry, not to mention how easy you can with 2 or 3 meele cavalry units to flank every unit of their armies, pursue archers...

Because of how easily exploitable morale mechanics and cavalry flanking is in this game and mod, battles are always a cakewalk. the ai cannot use cavalry and cannot flank with it, however, battles...

Creative Assembly's AI will always disappoint, they dont develop nor invest in it, so forget about making battles challenging.


If you want that kind of experience, try other titles like Field of...

This mod has no equal when it comes to portraying the hoplitai phalanx: visually and mechanically, the spacing between the soldiers, their speed and manouvreability, the size of the shields and how...

Has anyone made any kind of submod that unlocks more unites in custom battles for the latest DeI? I've noticed some units that only appear in the Campaign (like Peloponnesian Hoplites, Corinthian...

"Evidences" is too strong of a word for what i've seen regarding the subject; I'd say its all more in line with "educated guess" rather than "evidence". A bunch of very dilapidated statues without...

It does look like that, even if it was linen armor instead of other material in those depictions, just like in the "celtic linothorax" thread (which in my opinion isnt really that conclusive anyways,...

Upon recently returning to Rome II and this mod, which was always quintessential for me when it came to playing Rome II, I couldnt help but feel that the mod changed a lot since 1.1, the version I...

It seems that this topic is plagued with, firstly, a lack of definitions - and so people are talking past each other at some points - and secondly, an anachronistic and modern-like way of...

We should make it so that northern europeans (Gauls, Britons, Belgians and Germans) are capable of fielding decent quality soldiers and have a fighting chance against the Romans and other factions,...

Well thanks everyone for the input, and if people want to keep giving more of their takes, the discussion doesnt need to end because of my reply;


I think I left the impression I didnt want to...

*complains that most people wont report and contribute to the team if they release it*


*complains that if they release it, people will overreport bugs and flood with the same kind of...

So I've decided to look it up lately, since it was something that has gradually been building up in the current popular image and depictions of the Hoplites of Sparta and their league, specially in...

DeI is most certainly, so far, the most balanced, enhanced, completed and enjoyable mod! Nay, it is a piece of art what they made with this pitiful vanilla Rome II. I certainly do hope this mod...

But do not treat the OP with reprehension, for this is simply a undelicated manifestation of excitedness, a kind of approval, even if you would consider it juvenile.

This mod is the Roma Surrectum II of Rome II.

Here, I've said it.

What about adding the Apella to sparta instead of other nobles, or perhaps the Ephors?

We need not to develop such enterprise, for inference on human behavior here in this place of discussion is but the corroboration of the work of men millennia ago...

After all, is this not but the...

It is peculiar of this mod's community the imperative condescending attitude towards historically "inaccurate" things..

The Ottomans and genocide happened... Sometimes Jhizia though.

Will it be introduced? Can it happen?

Also, a digression: Which of the byzantines will be playable? Will...

I can understand the supposed decline of hoplite units; what concerns me however is the complete abscence of them in some factions' rosters; while they still appear in other factions - such as the...

Sounds very odd to me that factions like Baktria and Carthage have hoplites but the Achaeans dont...

@servent9

It appears to me that the mod will portray the hellenes as obsolete and therefore they will be non existent; only the hellenistic powers and their military designs seem to be prevalent -...

Can someone perhaps preview the Achaeans and Aetolians?
