Yeah, I have to do that. I made a line of ships from Sicily to Africa and from Italy to Illyria to cut off the entire Adriatic and Western Mediterranean to any outside fleets, at the expense of my...

I've met all of the Carthaginian faction reform requirements, as I've fought numerous battles with the Romans by the year 237, I have the required settlements, and I had a Barcid war leader. However,...
Personally I’d want Meroe, but I don’t think that’s feasible of the best option. I don’t think most of the factions discussed are. Meroe has almost nowhere to reasonably expand, same with the...
I’ve noticed many Iberian units with smaller shields got a boost in shield value (they went from 4 to 5). Why is this? Is it a gameplay reason?
Recruitable from my favorite Gallic settlement, Flavortown.
I can't say anything that hasn't been said before, but I think it would be greatly beneficial to change the location mechanics.
I love accuracy as much as the next guy, but I'm a bit of a dunce...
I think it has been talked about before. I think the triarii should be increased to the elite unit size, with the number of units available to be recruited just decreased.
I usually change the...
Since they're doing it for free, I don't think modders are accountable to users in any way. The good thing is that it's a labor of love, and modders will try to make their work to the best of their...
Yeah, I had the Numidians backstab me on the second or third turn, though that was on Very hard.
How much does each CA difficultly affect diplomacy? What’s the best difficulty for this version?
I don’t know what’s with the hate for slings right now. Currently they kind of aren’t the best due to unjustifiably not being able to shoot over other units.
It’s true, a sling isn’t a .44 magnum....
I’ve noticed a few of the Celtic units like the Scordisci warriors, Oroneides, and Galathraikes seem to have had their armor demoted to 1 instead of 2 (the Scordisci are new, but fairly similar to...
I’ve had crashes in other areas of the Iberian peninsula, I think it might have something to do with an FM or a unit.
It doesn’t need to be both, I got it after choosing a war leader. The players guide is wrong, it includes faction leader next to War leader in the reform requirements, but doesn’t say and/or. Turns...
Wait, the same guy has to be both? That’s insane! Geez, this really needs to be changed, and the player guide needs to be clearer as well.
Do you have any idea how to get peace? I’ve not been at...
Several years later, still isn’t happening. Do I have to have a Barcid faction leader and war leader?
Wait, really? That should be in the guide. Cowabunga it is.
At least in the players guide and the game, the Carthaginian reforms are still a pain to get. I am currently in a campaign where I've clobbered Rome, but have to keep them alive for the absurd...
When the AI initiates battle when I’m besieging Moroika, the game just crashes. Unfortunately the logs folder is empty.
Yeah, I had no idea that the armor upgrades were +2.5. That sounds broken, especially for already armored units. The visual aspect of the armor upgrades fit +1 just fine.
Unfortunately, using a Mac I get an instant CTD when starting it up. I installed it manually, so maybe there was an issue with that, but I think I did everything right.
I went into the game and checked, it's not as bad as I thought. Sure, Alexandria is slightly outside the green zone, but the rest looks OK to me. It's a smaller issue.
You’re bringing up a legitimate problem, but you could really use a bit more... tact.
That might make it more interesting. Hopefully whatever changes they make to diplomacy are pretty good, because otherwise those extra factions will just make things more chaotic than they already...
Isn't it obvious? I'm here because I love EB2. I don't hate the concept of Total War, it's bad execution. EB2 does a lot of stuff right that mainline total war doesn't, and even many other mods. I...
When I first played RTW, it was magical. It was the game that got me into the series, and led me to this point. There is some mad nostalgia behind that game. However, one day I stopped. I moved on to...
I've never really noticed anything before it was mentioned, even the more criticized units look fine to me. They put in a lot of work for something that you'll be zoomed out of most of the time.
...
Hey, whatever works. Bigger EB files are better than no EB files at all. A small price to pay for salvation.
Surprise! dead thread resurrected once more. I found a couple more instances of organic armor.
One is the La Gorge Meillet chariot. I think it's from the department of Marne in Northeastern...
To be honest, a gambeson-like armor is my actual thought, but there's not enough evidence. Between Caesar's coins and the Arverni coins (I added a few more, https://imgur.com/a/YRgE1LS ), these are...
I don't think it's just a tunic. Why would the Romans display it with captured arms and armor? And Sar1n also mentions how it might be there because the coin would look weird, however there are...
Hang on, I think I have something here.

I did some digging and looking at Gallic coins, and these three coins are from the Arverni and depict a warrior in the same...
You're using the singular. Are you just talking about the very first picture? That one is mail. I'm talking about the other type. I have a list of pictures in the link, scroll down. The striated...
I was curious to look for archaeological depictions of later Gallic armor when I came across depictions of captured Gallic trophies depicted on Caesar's coinage. There are quite a few of these,...
The paper I’ve read by Michael J. Taylor (“Etruscan Identity and Service in the Roman army”), he doesn’t seem to provide any insight into why it’s made or why it’s lamellar. He identifies it as a...
Oops, that’s kind of embarrassing. It’s late and I was typing fast, I’m not sure if it was me or the spellcheck. Probably me. I’ll fix it.
There we go, if I missed one just assume I’m speculating...
The main point I wanted to discuss is the armor used by the Mars of Todi. The Etruscan hoplites don't use it (unrelated note, they deserve an extra armor point or two since they have metal...
The question I was directing more at the beginning was why slingers have such high damage? Is the damage calculated differently? If it isn’t, why make their damage so high?
it’s kind of difficult...
I think you're missing a point. Don't think about the game as much when discussing things that are beyond the game. The society you are drawing troops from already has all the skills and...
Slingers aren't trained. It's a skill that is developed over a long period of time, so you can't train a slinger for war. Where slingers are available, it's a skill that has to be present in the...
This is probably something that has been asked about in the past, but how do the mechanics between arrows and sling bullets differ? I think all slingers have a higher missile damage (cobble being 9...
