A couple questions/suggestions cunningly disguised as questions:

1: Would it be feasible to allow the Pahlava to undergo a settling reform if they go East instead of West? E.g. an alternate reform...

Yeah, some of the voice lines are hilarious if you're playing while sleepy (Protip: don't do that!). I can't help hearing my Gallic spy saying "Two-way Yalus," (with Yalus being a level of walls), so...

No offense to the current EBII team, but it would be nice if there was a bit more standardization of the unit descriptions. I mean, it's okay if each culture group has their own local flavor, but...

Unfortunately, you've got to kill the client rulers the old-fashioned way. Usually, I leave a Client Ruler in charge of a city until he dies, then swap in a factional govt (since you have to demolish...

Recruitable Client Rulers are *only* for the Allied/Closely Allied Oligarchy/Democracy governments. Those are allied governments that are common to ALL factions and give the Interloper trait to...

Haven't played Epeiros yet (Makedonia Great Again), but how did you get those Agema Phalangitai for Epeiros to march/line up so well in what looks like a narrow street on a city map in the third...

Nope. I'm using an Intel. But according to a mod in the relevant Tech Support thread, you need Nvidia or AMD.

Any chance of another look at the continental Celtic factions? Their recruitment potential is frightfully low compared to, say, Makedon or Pontos. Limiting Uiuspurios(sp?) to 2 per Allied State is...

I'd like to have an opinion on Imperator Rome, but apparently they don't support my Graphics card. Never thought I'd see the day that my computer could run Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 2, but didn't have...

@Danius

For Hleithoz (SP?) You need to demolish any level of nomadic herds (except possibly the first level?) so that you can build the Settled Farms building chain to its conclusion. You also...

None of those reasons are particularly compelling: the issue was culture slots, which is kind of ludicrous when you consider that Rome has her own culture group set aside, while "Barbarian" extends...

Pedant mode: there are three Belgic units at the moment: Belgic Medium Cavalry, Belgic Swordsmen and Belgic Spearmen. That's 50% more Belgium!

Honestly, I'd still take the Kushite kingdom over...

Alright, time for stupid questions #873 through #879:

-Is there a good way to check where, exactly, we're allowed to build Confederation governments, besides the building browser? The browser...

It's probably not the intended use, but I've found that AI cavalry really likes to prioritize running at my Karroi whenever they poke their heads out from behind my main infantry line. I've had one...

You're not a megalomaniac: you're just demonstrably superior to all the other political actors by virtue of being the only person who matters.

Wait, that sounds pretty megalomaniacal...

On...

So, another 40 turns in, and things are quiet in the Northern Gallic Confederacy(TM). We have a navy now, and "liberated" the people of Kantion from their vicious Pritanoi masters, then enforced a...

Can't speak for this current patch, but unless you want to use armies composed almost entirely of Thureophoroi, Euzonoi and Javelin Cavalry to defend your northern frontier (or constantly import from...

So, the semester is over, which means EBII ahoy!

A few points from the first 50 turns of an Aedui Long campaign:

1: I know that we're not supposed to trust the building outliner, but the...

But, Roma_Victrix, why not Minyue? I mean they're sort of the Byzantine- excuse me, "Eastern Roman Empire" of the various Yue peoples: after the fall of the Kingdom of Yue circa 300, members of the...

Darn it, do we really need to bring back that "Sweboz Rooster" signature from EBI? :-D

/end silliness

I probably wouldn't want a full 10 extra factions: you'd either end up with some regions...

Part of the point was supposed to be a semi-sarcastic remark about how "European" doesn't mean all that much as an identifier. The Sauromatae (At game start, anyway) mostly live in "Europe," (aka a...

Strictly speaking, aren't the Sauromatae "European"? I mean, they're mostly west of the Urals, so they'd count.

Also, the Sweboz are a semi-pastoralist faction, IIRC.

@OP: Once the semester is...

I always figured the reason why swords were more "popular" in cultural references wasn't for their battlefield role, but because of their function as personal defense weapons. In situations outside a...

Thanks for the clarification.

That actually makes my decision easier now that I know there's no real difference between killing off SPQR or letting them live. So, I should expect my Italian...

So, questions about SPQR reforms and how they impact recruitment by non-Romans. I think I have a grasp of how things work, but I just want to make sure that the following is how the system works:
...

Historical question time: I recall reading (in either EB or EBII) that there’s mention in literary accounts of Greek/Hellenized bodyguards serving in Sri Lanka. Any advice for tracking that down in...

Pergamon again. They've done quite nicely for themselves, all things considered. They actually took Pamphylia, which is surprising, since last I looked, the Ptolemies had 2.5 stacks guarding it. For...

Nope, I don't have Crete. Pergamon sniped it while I was busy conquering the Balkan territories that stop the scripted raids on Macedon. My source of Cretan Archers is the North/South Greece...

...No, it's not a thread about which is better for a new player.

So, it's year ~231 B.C. in a Makedonia Long campaign. Epeiros and the KH are destroyed. Pergamon rules most of Anatolia, my...

The problem can't be with the Port Garrison, since Revan the Great said he got the event notification for finishing the Kingship Reform, and that requires a Port Garrison building.

Have you built...

IIRC, Industry buildings require certain trade resources on the Campaign map. Unfortunately, I can't find the relevant post at the moment.

The scripting of the Macedonian campaign could be made significantly more fair. For example:

1: In order to Restore the Kingship, you need to build coastal defenses, but those are locked behind...

@Jurand of Cracow: 20% seems relatively high for a victory, in my experience. As Pontos, I was generally able to keep my casualties below 15% unless I really screwed up. Don't have a doctor on my...

Memetastic title notwithstanding, I'm having some trouble grasping how you're supposed to play the Sweboz.

In general, I'm trying not to stack my armies with too many elites, but I'm fairly...

What is this? Nudity south of the Alps? That's HERESY!

So, we've got three Sauromatae regionals, Thracian cavalry, some Colchian infantry and south Italians thus far. Could've used most of those...

Ah, darn it. I was thinking that maybe it fed into the same mechanic that determines how difficult a building is to sabotage, and these buildings were given fairly high protection to prevent the AI...

So, this is a very minor thing, but I was wondering if it would be possible to give the province and government buildings a higher priority when revealing buildings in non-player settlements. I...

So, another couple Sweboz questions:

1: Are you *supposed* to immediately upgrade your generic tribal migrations into specific tribes, or is there a reason to keep the tribal migration for a...

Re: New Faction symbol: I don't get it. Why would you wait so long on including the time-displaced Minoan Refugees led by Taurus, the Bull-Headed King? I figured that if they weren't included in 2.0,...

Considering that this event pop-up is supposed to appear midway through an event chain, it's not particularly surprising that the event isn't entirely self-contained. However, if you'd looked at...
