Great Mod

[Byg]

I'm really looking forward to being able to play this period on the M2TW engine.

I noticed that there is to be no shadow factions, which is a shame as that is an incredible feature. I'm sure it will be great anyway though.

Shadow factions require faction slots and there simply aren't enough to give working shadow factions to everybody. Adding new playable factions with the new faction slots was instead chosen.

You wouldn't have to give shadow factions to everybody, shadowing Rome would be enough. Those who wanted that feature would have it and 1 faction less would not hurt those who did not want it.

The point is that this mod is neutral so to say, every faction is equal. Rome isn't priviledged here so becouse of the hardcode limit they rather have real factions which I totally agree with.

This question has been done to death... The fact is that Rome is not the only faction that had civil wars and major rebellion. This mod does not concentrate on Rome alone, or give it more features then other factin, so why pick them out the bunch to have a shadow faction?

In fact of the factions, Rome was suprisingly stable for most of our period. Compared to the Seleucids or Ptolemaioi, Rome was a rock.

If there we would include a shadow faction, which we shall not, it would rather go to the Sleucids, the pahlava or the the ptolemaioi I'd Imagine.

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

I think that option is better and more feasible.

[eggthief]

I second that.

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

I third your seconding motion.

[Roman Legate]

And I fourth it?

[Logik]

Well i guess i Fifth it! since i agree with everyone.

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Everyone agrees with everyone that this mod will rox the sox of the nations.

Obviously.

The first EB was so shockingly good that it sometimes seems hard to imagine what can be improved.

Then again a bit of better diplomacy and AI campaign behaviour wouldn't be bad.

Keep up the good work.

Im more looking forward to the combat map improvements, the rtw graphics and the "I stabbed the air, now u die." or the "Iz stabbed u 10 ten times y wont u die? stop haxing nubcake." battles of rtw are the reasons why I stopped with EB1.1 and am waiting for eb2 with uberpatience.

RTW combat is much better than that unformed mess of M2TW, actually.

Not always.....

I'd never trade the good unit cohesion and the lethality factor for the additional options, most of them minor, that M2TW offers.

Cohesion can be fixed.

Sadly, I have never played EB 1, because now that I have played M2TW and all its mods, I cannot go back.
