Based on what I'd read a long time ago, these stats are mostly for Catholic nations - Violence increases the likelihood of agreeing to a Crusade, while Purity affects their standing in the College of...
I haven't been able to play properly since 2.35a. All my crashes are limited to battles, and seem semi-random in nature - whether at the beginning or an end of a battle, and there's just too many of...
Same issue here on Windows, copying over files provided by Shoebopp fixed it. My guess is something may have went wrong with the cards within the download itself - especially since as I see some old...
You have to specificially go out of your way to maintain public order in the mod. A big army can only do so much, so you have to build things that increase public order and avoid building those that...
Started up a new game, I feel the amount of turns to build roads or farming has gotten somewhat out of hand. 20 turns for 3rd level of farms, 30 turns for second level of roads? It's started to be...
It felt like an exploit to me because you can take the city back as early as next turn, it's not as big of a penalty to get a city of yours sacked or enslaved as it is in newer Total War games since...
I was expecting this thread to be about being on the receiving end of crusades, which is hell. Most crusade targets generally can survive being at war with half of the world due to generally being...
I'm honestly shocked how much more prone to crashing the mod is compared to EB2 or even EB1, despite both of these being vastly more ambitious total conversion projects. Is there no way that the...
Wait, you actually got the game to show the exact modifiers to diplomacy? That is very impressive, how exactly did you do that?
All I know for sure is part of the trait is strongly related to hating/loving greeks while governing a Greek city. If your governor hates Greeks, the people will quickly become unhappy under his rule...
It appears to be a mechanic built around the fact that a player can easily make their king charge some pikes if they don't like him. I know it depends on authority, a 8-10 authority regent that turns...
Actually, they used to have elephant bodyguards a long time ago. They were swapped for infantry because back then elephants were incredibly strong, and it had been considered improper for them to...
A lot of factions are hamstrung in this term by recruitment pools or unique mechanics, but I feel I would indeed vote for Seleucids or one of the Greek factions, purely due to starting initial size,...
In the previous patch, I found out attempting to starve an AI settlement out instead of waiting only 1 turn worked out pretty well to get them aggressive, as they always would send an army to...
Siege a city of theirs and wait to starve it out instead of assaulting after one turn. They will definitely attempt to bring an army over and defend it, if they can.
By paying less heed to them at that point.
Gameplay wise I feel it's worth a try to see how this change reflects on the world. If it results in absolutely 0 interaction between Rome/Carthage and Ptolemaioi ever again, then it'd be fair to...
Faction capitals are pretty damn hard to hold. It's either that or the scripted events, which I think would be clear enough if it happened to you.
Also if you capture a city by sacking or...
Latest changes in patches and Ptolemaioi playthrough had made me truly realize the influence good generals have on battles. For most factions, you either have a half-decent general or an army at the...
In theory it would be possible to represent them as an armor change to an already existing unit, but it still would be a lot of work for something that appears so late.
The negative traits aren't such a big deal at that point, so might as well embrace it. It can still be worth to keep governors for public order.
It doesn't expire, and Carthage can invade it in your place which will also trigger the war. But once either of you have conquered the province you can just sign peace and the script won't start...
For now what you can try is take over Rome, wait until another Catholic faction gives Pope their city, or even give one to him yourself somewhere he doesn't border you or won't bother you, then try...
Wait, region does not affect how likely your troops are to rebel? I've had plenty of captains rebel when in enemy territory in M2TW, not so much in mine.
Anyway I'm pretty sure rebellions are...
I'm willing to do some playtesting. Please do tell me if there any areas which require more attention in particular
Probably Macedonia. Though their roster is fairly one of the most "generic" as far as factions go, I really like it, and the atmosphere regardless. Plus, their campaign really feels like a struggle...
Funnily enough, so far most of the time I saw AI Sweboz, they ended up dominating both Boii and Lugiones combined. Perhaps there is more to them than it seems...
I've played it before, and yes, you pretty much have to bum rush while clearing out rebel stacks to make sure they don't bother you. And you have to rely on your family members to do most of the...
Rome is special like that, with it's FL having a harder time gaining authority. Any other faction I would pray for a younger FL, just fight all your battles with them and you will never have...
Very good general, I'd say literally the best in the game. Over all my playthroughs I haven't ever seen any single one of mine reach as many command stars as he does, the most was 7. Not that you...
Destroy the public order reducing buildings when you capture a city so that you can keep a better grip on it! Like markets or docks, for example. Or even destroy everything that is possible then...
I'm not sure to this day just which of the command stats matters more, but I can confirm there's a huge diffference in morale depending on whether a general is Green or Grizzled. Also units not...
Use your FL to lead armies, they can't rebel, unlike FH!
I think Carthage just places more emphasis on wealth, including their election system, they always just seem to have more wealthy people than other factions.
I use governors for conversion and public order for most part. At the point where your governors start becoming corrupt, generally there's no need to worry about money. Though I do wish there were a...
It's not that good. You say you are playing as Makedonia, have you ever noticed that Pella's income goes from 2k early to 9k once you fully develop it?
The amount of offices is not limited, so they are probably losing the offices for a different reason. According to guide, "characters in elections have a good chance of retaining their current...
Disband any elephants, pull as many units together as possible without putting public order of your cities in red, attack a city. Your income will be much better afterwards, thanks to new profits...
I highly recommend you to play the Areaukoi if you haven't tried it already, they are what I would call relatively well developed. As for Numidian lack of governments, the evolution until which you...
