    Re: Bactrian Phalangites

    One of the numbers in the line for the unit that is a 1 you would replace with 0.99. The game will try to add replenishment numbers up to 1 but because it can only get to 0.99 it will never offer the...

    Re: Bactrian Phalangites

    Keeping it simple, I would say the best settlements would be the ones with already existing Greek communities. Sicily - Syracuse, Italy - Capua/Tarentum, Gaul - Massalia, Spain - Emporion. It...

    Re: [Army Compositions] Feedback requested

    Historical question here, would bows used by foot and horse archers be the same or different in this period? I know in Medieval times bows for infantry could become large enough that using them on...

    Re: [Army Compositions] Feedback requested

    I think the most I've ever seen a foot archer do is 30 - 40% to a horse archer unit, given they can dodge and skirmish and such. The foot archers take about 10 - 20% in return and then 60% of a horse...

    Re: [Army Compositions] Feedback requested

    I think players are going to try and mass the best units together in an army no matter how difficult it is to get them. It's just fun to have a top level death stack. I know this already kinda exists...

    Re: [Army Compositions] Feedback requested

    I tend to use javelin cavalry only when there aren't dedicated other cavalry to use. They don't feel reactive enough to me in a skirmishing role at the range they use their missiles and get caught...
  7. Re: Best Hellenic faction for Western expansion and colonisation

    Tongue-in-cheek joke, you know. If it ain't Athens, it's a barbarian-infested hole.
  8. Re: Best Hellenic faction for Western expansion and colonisation

    It's mostly intentional given that most Greek colonization is in the center and east with a few exceptions (Massalia, Emporion). There are already long-established populations in those areas who...
  9. Re: Were Thracian and Illyrian auxiliaries ever trained as pike phalanxes (phalangitai) by Greek states?

    I do note in his second example of the forces with Alexander they seemed to be still in their own light infantry units and not with the phalanxes. "Thracians, Illyrians and Paionen are called, and of...
  10. Re: Were Thracian and Illyrian auxiliaries ever trained as pike phalanxes (phalangitai) by Greek states?

    Speaking with absolutely no historical sources on my side, I want to say no. The Persian or Egyptian phalanxes fixes a manpower problem due to the distance from the Greece and the lack of local...
  11. Re: The Synhendrion ton Hellenon disappeared from my building options

    It's not and I have. I'm not criticizing the decision as it makes the KH have a few different goals than the other Greek factions which is fun. I just don't think the Greeks would ever stop...
  12. Re: The Synhendrion ton Hellenon disappeared from my building options

    If you queue up a scripted building, never unqueue it. The script takes your building point away from you and when you unqueue it you don't get that point back. Eventually, turns later, there is a...
  13. Re: What are your thoughts on region-specific Dynastic Administrations? (2.35a Epeiros and Pontos)

    I usually throw the historical basis out the window when I'm just looking to have a wild time. My favorite was I moved the KB to Britain and gave them a Greek/Barbarian mixed roster. Ridiculous, but...
  14. Re: What are your thoughts on region-specific Dynastic Administrations? (2.35a Epeiros and Pontos)

    I wouldn't have a problem with that. Enough to fill in a themed army, but not enough to be too OP. Maybe normal recruitment for the closer ones (Like the three closest to the Epeirotes for Epeiros)...
  15. Re: What are your thoughts on region-specific Dynastic Administrations? (2.35a Epeiros and Pontos)

    Personally, I am more of a fan of removing restrictions on the number of Dynastic Administrations and just making them restricted to certain settlements with regional elite recruitment. Most Greek...
  16. Re: Which Hellenistic faction has the best looking Thorakitai, and units more generally?

    I haven't checked the Ptolemies or the Seleucids (as I don't play them much) but Makedonia and Epeiros Thorakitai look great. The Makedonian sun and the Epeirote green look rather fetching for a...

    Celtic Factions Music

    I remember there being a few tracks in an older version of EB2 when I first downloaded it for the Celtic factions that I don't remember hearing anymore. I remember it being more flutes than the...

    Re: Revisiting EB2'S Phalangites (AGAIN)

    I usually use the Thorakitai on their own instead of a support unit. IDK if its just me, but I love making armies of "levy" units and seeing how they fare. The Greeks are particularly good at it....

    Re: Revisiting EB2'S Phalangites (AGAIN)

    A fine thrust!

    I love the Deuteroi Phalangitai. They are just a beautiful and versatile unit. Any Greek army that I can put them in I do, excepting the eastern cavalry-focused armies. Usually when...

  21. Re: No change in trade on financial report

    Personally I like it because its a bit more immersive for city development which Med 2 does better than pretty much all the sequels. Especially in a slower paced mod like this one you can really...
  22. Re: No change in trade on financial report

    Trade is done city-by-city in Med 2 instead of the faction as a whole like in later total war games. Each city gets to trade the resources in it's hinterlands so some cities are much more profitable...
  23. Re: No change in trade on financial report

    If I remember correctly, each city has a certain number of trade routes that can be made by sea and you automatically trade with all trade-able adjacent land territories. You can increase the number...
