    Re: Carthaginian Reforms

    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...

    Carthaginian Reforms

    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,...

    Poll: Re: Unused Faction Slots

    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...

    Iberian shields

    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?

  7. Re: Camilian Triarii should be equal numbers to Hastati/Principes

    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.

  8. Re: (general concept from other threads) - Are modders accountable to users?

    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...

    Re: Tentative "fix" for homicidal AI

    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?
  10. Re: Announcement: Europa Barbarorum II 2.35A R3.5 released!

    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....

    Re: Rad compares units - a thread for balancing.

    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.
  20. Re: Announcement: Europa Barbarorum II 2.35A released!

    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.
  21. Re: Alexandria and Memphis shouldn't be surrounded by a desert

    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.
