This sounds logical to me. Let the towers actually be a factor in sieges. Perhaps they should be, for balance and game-play reasons, fire projectiles that damage siege equipment a lot but otherwise...
No, I meant like even the faction leaders has a regular bodyguard. The fancy one is just an elite unit.
That's a shame. I kinda would have preferred it if Generals had the less opulent bodyguard, and the better bodyguards ones were for the human player instead a recruitable unit. Like for the Roma...
Is there any way to have two different types of general bodyguards? I don't know, I feel like there should be a difference between the bodyguards of some guy in charge of a regular city somewhere and...
Could this be used to give shields an attack animation? Say for example give Hoplites the ability to use both their spears and shields as weapons. Is it possible to make units attack with their left...
The upcoming update for Stellaris has been teased on twitter. They are basically turning Stellaris into Victoria 3, complete with pie charts. It's going to be more complex soon.
I'm more interested in the free content myself, though the desert factions look neat.
I'm wondering if CA is planning something next or if this is it?
Is there more you can tell us about this?
How about the Egyptian Blue Lotus flower as an ancillary? It appears all over Egyptian art and I'm wondering what significance that plant may have played to Egyptian culture. From what I understand,...
Can princesses become priestesses (as a trait or ancillary)?
Would the jarring effect of nomads being able to use captured camps be limited if there was only one level of camps that can get upgraded into cities the same way that castles can be turned into...
I see. Oh well, then.
Huh. I Must be going crazy then. Didn't they have a unit of guys that live in the wilderness or something along those lines? Scare enemy units?
Did the Sweboz lose a unit after a patch at some point? Playing some custom battles with them and I seem to recall them having a unit they don't have now.
There are two slots left, would the Basternae be a good choice for factionhood?
Admittedly, I haven't played as the Getae a whole lot yet. But by looking at the faction, it looks like some places were more Greek influenced than others (the Dacian phalanx units mention this). In...
Don't watchtowers attract nearby bandits? Because I just realized that if you change the Eleutheroi faction so that it doesn't build watchtowers, but does already have watch towers on the map at the...
I know what you mean, when you get a general who is the heir who is an uncle or something while the current kings son is the 'potential successor'. I just hand-waive it as 'the uncle is the...
Since Medieval 2 doesn't let you just select an heir like in Rome 1, I find EB2s work-around to be pretty smart. I understand the hard-coded limits, so being able to just give influence to whatever...
Ah, OK. Makes sense.
I suppose it's possible to get around that. If a modder wanted a building that the AI Isn't intended to use, instead of doing all that work of making it give benefits to...
I know when the team is looking at a feature to implement in the game, that (among meeting other qualifications too) both the human and AI has to be able to handle it. So my question is, why not have...
I suppose there could be a 'food exports' building that lowers the food imports in the province it's built in but increases the money you get per turn from farming. If I understand correctly,...
What about agents? If the enemy has spies that have a lot of movement points but armies that have low movement, what happens? Or what about if some units have a lot of movement points and others that...
I suspect Game of Thrones may have been part of the inspiration for using time period, because of the Queen in the East, ya'know. Not that I'm complaining.
I'm a fan of the idea of using a faction slot to create a shadow faction for the player, if that can be done. Just a generic faction with regional recruitment that the script attaches to the human...
As someone who hasn't played have the latest versions but planning on returning to EBII once I have some free time for gaming again. The idea of a rebel province acting like a faction is an amazing...
Do you always keep them when you capture them, or do you go for the instant loot?
Any roleplay involved that you follow?
How about putting a watchtower there then? Can a 'minor settlement' and a watchtower both fit on Malta?
Malta is in the same province as the Carthaginian part of Sicily, right?
Since the minor settlements are now trade icons instead of PSFs, maybe move Carthaginian Sicily's port to Malta and put a...
I suppose the different sizes of Seleucid settlements can have different styles.
Maybe have the largest settlements (huge cities) be Greek style but the lower levels look Mesopotamian? So that...
Ooooohhhh! NICE! That's very good news indeed.
With those CAI changes, those water crossing aren't needed then anyways. Great job, EBII team!
Can we look forward to any changes to the Pritanoi? As of now they are fairly isolated from the rest of the map.
You know those water crossings that let you move land units across narrow bodies of...
So are the Sweboz are loosing the tribes system too?
I generally don't like micromanaging reinforcements from my homelands, preferring instead to hire locals from my recently taken cities and mercenaries. The siege battle army would double as a...
Multiple armies only when I'm rich like the Romans and I'm trying to take down Carthage in Africa.
Its hard, maybe I'm just not good, but I seemed to always have a hard time holding onto cities in...
Got any good tips on attacking enemy territory? I don't have EBII at the moment because I am waiting for the next version. But I'm thinking of handling things differently when I get EB again.
I'm...
So the hanging gardens of Babylon wonder is getting removed I hear, do to lack of historical evidence?
Its still a nice garden building, can it stay in the game as just a regular garden model...
How do you structure garrisons for your cities, what units do you use?
How do you deal with a sudden DoW and invasion?
