Damn, I'll truly miss the scale armour in Iberian elite units :(
Still, I trust the team to make a great work out of them and I'll gladly welcome the announced improvements in Iberian factions.

I totally disagree, diversity, immersion and respresentation of ancient people's are imho some of the most important features of EB2. I wish every ancient people could be represented by their own...

Great work!

The Sweboz and the Lugiones are getting some pretty cool new units :yes:

I agree that it makes more sense for drilling grounds to give experience than temples.

In the other hand battle temples could provide:

- recruitment and retraining cost reductions to represent...

I do have an suggestion to make the late game more interesting for the "barbarian" factions, inspired by the Lugian "Celtic Overlord" concept:
A new government called...

Regarding cavalry maybe reducing heavy cavalry unit size to 80 ( for non steppe factions ) while keeping the current prices would be an possible solution, though I have yet to test it.
I was talking...

In my own build I've reduced all elephant prices and upkeeps to half and it works a lot better now. Imho . So at the moment in my game the African elephants cost 2500/4000 and the Indians 5000/75000....

Noticed that as well, Indian Chariots are decent for chasing nomad horse archers

I've had some good success using chariots (Gallic, Indian and Garantine, besides the already proven scythed) and there are some tips I can share (many are also applicable to elephants):
- Good use...

Great job on the Lugian swordsman!

In my Gallic campaign using the toggle_fow and the perfect spy script noticed that the AI Pritanoi cannot recruit their chariots in any of their settlements. Is it by design (~ turn 180)? I didn't...

Is there any way to retrain Karroi as the Aedui after reforms?
Now that I'm getting the hang of using them the only unit I could recruit before the reform fired is down to 6 man. I'll miss them when...

Scythed chariots can be used to some extent to fight off enemy cavalry, to disrupt enemy formations and to rout not so confident enemies. Just never ever let them get stuck in melee or get caught by...

What about using one slot to represent a few mini factions spread across the map, historicaly more active than the rest of the Eleutheroi? Like Illyrians, Syracuse, Skythians, Meroe, Galatians,...

While the hypothesis of having a new faction is always a tempting idea, if using the last slot could make the Eleutheroi more active, better simulate rebellions, civil wars, invasions by factions...

The charge value in the unit card refers to the primary (missile) weapon that have a value of 1 instead of 0 only because of engine limitations. Check the recruitment viewer or the EDU file for the...

Something I really like about the new version:
Diplomacy appears to be back on tracks, (at least for small scale warfare)! In my h/h Aedui game the Auerni declared war by besieging Bribakte, got...

Iirc you can only recruit factional.governments outside of your initial lands after declaring independence.

I believe there are three sparabara type units in game but are native parthian, armenian and Arab, not exactly persian. I would like to see a Persian one too, maybe as to hold the Kardakes spot...

IIRC in my late Baktrian campaign in Persepolis the only iranian units I could recruit were javelinmen and slingers, but I think it had to do with the high levels of Hellenistic culture.

bTW thank...

You can also charge without stopping as long as your unit has good cohesion and have enough distance. Also beware of dificult terrain (rocks, trees) and friendly units that might slow down your unit...

Check out the players guide, you'll learn a lot about the mod!

I think the charge values that appear in the unit cards belong to the primary missile weapons and not to the melee charge.

I do have mixed feelings about the prec. It's great for Gallic furor type...

They are not only faster - they are MUCH faster... No more cleaning the dishes and doing other tasks while waiting for the turn to pass.

Really enjoying it so far, pretty epic! Great work!

The turns are much faster, economy seems better balanced, there are a lot of interesting new traits around and battles look a bit harder (through that's probably just an impression).

Doing the gallic (Aedui) campaign I've been delaying since I've started playing EB1!!

You have to add it yourself like in the link I mentioned.

Will this be updated to 2.35?

You can disable all that unit info text in the eb2.cfg (?) file. Put "show_tooltips = 0". I do play without unit info, green arrows and banners, it looks confusing at first but great after you get...

Yeeeeyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
Great news!!!!
Thank you very much!!!!!

The new units look badass, battles around Europe will be a lot more diverse in the next version!
Regarding Iberian units, is any Iberian elite/heavy cavalry still to come? are Hannibal's famed...

Ok, today I just started the game to check if I was missing anything, since I was expecting to see the colonists pop-ups. But I will start paying attention to the logs while I play.

Btw, I've...

Thank you for your answer, didn't knew about the limit on the notifications. I started the game just to check if something was missing and now I do have colonies and polis buildings in many of my...

In my current Baktrian campaign I built an Metropolis like more than 20 turns ago and I haven't earned any colonists from it. Isn't it supposed to produce colonists each 16 turns?

Great job! Curious to see how the new developments will impact the game. Will be interesting to see the eleutheroi being more active.

How's it going?

IIRC I've read somewhere z3n talking about the possibility of using a playable faction slot to improve the behaviour of the rebel faction... While it would be sad to lose the future chance of having...

You have the awesome Maryagatai to fill that role iirc they are even available as mercenaries so you can get them into your Roman (or whatever) late imperial army!
