    Re: Economy in EB 2.35

    Well-timed conquest is its own successful economic policy. Sack those towns to pay for your armies and infrastructure back home. Don't forget to grab a souvenir while you're at it - something that'll...

    Turn 100 Report - Carthage

    I recall you gents used to like getting campaign feedback at about turn 100. I'm not sure how relevant that still is, but hey, here's something to read. I've been enjoying 2.35 quite a lot. It's been...
  3. Re: Problem with finding where to download TROM1.70 (or latest version if further patches to "1.7x")

    Hey guys, I wanted to try this mod out - the main link on Baidu worked for me, but the hotfix appears to have expired. Anyone have a copy of that, all these years later?
  4. Re: Announcement: Europa Barbarorum II 2.2f released!

    I know whenever I play Rome, I tend to conquer North first; I don't really want to but I have to; if I don't, those big stacks just sit on my border starving my income through devastation. It's...
  5. Re: Announcement: Europa Barbarorum II 2.2f released!

    I'm not entirely sure, but I think the benefits drastically drop off after about age 26. However, I recall reading that in an older post, and they have done some major overhaul work on the traits in...

    Don't forget to scream while you do it. It's good for immersion.
  9. Re: Announcement: Europa Barbarorum II 2.2f released!

    Did EB2 lose the start menu uninstall option at some recent point? I tried installing fresh for 2.2f and had to go into the game folder itself to find the EB uninstall executable, which was only...

  12. Re: EBII 2.2c Campaign & Battle AI

    In my experience, the AI of many nations takes a very defensive stance in the beginning, but it has its reasons. Namely, I suspect it's calculating that if it takes a province, nearby factions will...

    Factions that start with debt give us players a lot fewer meaningful choices in the early game.
  16. [Released] Re: Additional Units Mod - Empire (AUM-EMP) 3.4 - updated 13.2.15

    Pardon me, but is AUM 3.4 compatible with the latest version of APE:TI? I think some previous versions of AUM were, and was just wondering.
  17. Re: Announcement: Europa Barbarorum 2.2b is released!

    To be fair, there are a whole slew of Force abilities that only work on droids in the extended universe.

    Re: How does experience work??

    So here are the basics:

    Your dudes get experience for killing other dudes. The more dudes they kill, the more experience they get. Simple enough.

    Where it gets complicated is the chevrons...

    I had an idea. It might be stupid, it might not. Certain cavalry-based factions in the Northeast portions of the map have a mechanic whereby they receive money for desolation they cause in enemy...
  21. Re: Despicable me - an odd campaign event concerning reputation

    Ooh, well that's probably it right there. I suspect the AI correctly read that as dirty dealing, taking back a city you'd previously ceded to them. After all, giving them the city is pretty much...
  22. Re: Despicable me - an odd campaign event concerning reputation

    I vaguely recall reading a thing on reputation years ago. It's vague enough that I could be totally wrong, but just off the top of my head and calling on experience, here's my theory on how...

    Re: Europa Barbarorum II FAQ

    Sarkiss: I think the answer's nope. As far as I understand it, while there is a sapping yes/no bit in the unit files, it's just lazy leftovers from whatever they recycled from RTW, or things they...
  27. Re: The EB II trait and ancillaries team are the most masterful trolls of all time

    There are a lot of fun little bits in the traits/ancillaries system. One of my favourite is that the Mistress ancillary can be moved from general to general. I frequently end up with my faction...
