    Re: What more would you want to add to EBII?

    How about a limited availability of unconventional units? Stuff that you can't recruit normally but you might get via a reward from a mission. Basically, why can't we get a single flaming pigs unit...
  2. Re: More than one catapult variant possible in the future?

    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...

    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.

  21. I like the 'select potential successor' feature.
