1)Athenian marine - Wrong unit card (they are not archers), description, missing UNITS_INFO card and officers sword clipping trough shield.

2)Thureophoroi (Independent Cities) - Strange behavior when running.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Running with spear held above head (not charging, my army is far away). This didn't happened with my units so I'll check this in few more battles.

3) Campaign map - Small Sea Town

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I have reported this before but it got lost.

4) Campaign map - Landbridges near Athens

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I have reported this also but it got lost too.


This land bridge will create much problems for AI Macedon factions because Independent cities will attack early in the game.

5) Macedonian hypaspist and Taxeis hoplite- Officers sword clipping trough shield

6)Thureophoroi - Unit description

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I can recruit them with Macedons (add Macedon to description?).

7)Greek Lonchophoroi - Unit description (wrong name in description)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"Prodromoi are the flankers..."

Kushan Cataphract - Missile cavalry+long spear

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Found this while playing custom battle against Carthage.


They hold spear/bow like that all the time.

Posting here because I don't know which faction (maybe it's Carthaginian unit but it looks more like eastern) owns this unit.

Roma Surrectum 2.0 Build 10 | Rome Total War v 1.5

I. Settlement Edessa in Ano Makedonia region should be renamed maybe as Aigai (old capital of Makedonia). it will prevent some confusion with mesopotamian Edessa, which was actually named after this Edessa in Greece.
More sugestion then bug, anyone can actually rename it, right?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

II. Apollonia has too high unrest for no apparent reason in the beginning, but it's no big deal

III. Basilikoi Peltastai - why is it named peltastai while these men wear hopliton shield? Next: it has only leather armour? Not linothorax? It has double price of Levy Pikemen and triple upceep cost (and even somewhat less soldiers)

IV. Landbridges between Europe and Asia Minor:

V. Armenian officers on campaign map has hand going thru their shields

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

VI. bad spelling; cost and effect stays the same even at higher levels of building

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

VII. there are missing roads in building tree at pella, although i can build them, but their cost is ridiculously low

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

as low as many other building in every city of mine except walls building (same in every city i own)...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

the low cost is variable through different cities, still it is really low:

VIII. My economy WIN! Actually it win so much I came to idea it fails... after 40 and few turns i am so rich a can import silk from china on backs of camel birds...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

only athens, pella and apolonia has higher levels of ports (athens highest, pella and apolonia second level), highest level of markets are agoras and i am FAR from having them in every city (actually in no more then 6). my tax policy is to impoverish everyone (highest everywhere except three cities where i need highest population grow) and i have mostly roads, paved roads only in few (around three) cities and i have open trade with every neighbour except free greeks...

[kekesvar.bingos]

SUGGESTIONS:

-what about putting units in more logical order in unit pool?

- Greek Aspidophoroi and Greek Tarantine Cavalary has exactly same stats (even though aspidophoroi has only leather armor and tarantine cav. linothorax armour), so what is the difference?

- boii capital vindobona in boihemum region should be renamed (it should be called maybe as Unetice or Lovosice - modern day places of cletic artefacts findings), vindibona lies south of Istros, otherwise, the settlement placement is good, this part (central bohemia) was important (although provincial) center of celtic culture...

If you have an idea what a logical order is, please explain.

Settlement renamed: Lovosice

Dvk, I noticed you changed this town already. Change it back to Vindobona as Lovosice wasn't even in existence until hundreds of years later...

Not to sound like a know-it-all, but I'd appreciate if theres other suggested Celtic/barbarian changes involving cities, towns, etc...if I can be made aware of these things as I've already went over the towns. That, or I should check the beta forums more often...

Stats aren't done yet

[kekesvar.bingos]

ok, my fault then...

[Sharpe]

I thought i throw in what I experienced as macedon

- Agema Pikeman weaker than common Katoikoi Phalangites.
- A graphical error, Achiaian hoplites appear to be walking armour (Cuirass Helmet) etc with no skin , just transparent when body parts and thier faces would be.
- And Macedonian seem to get Latin highways.

[tone]

Thanks.
Unit stats aren't done yet.
Please post screenshots of all graphical errors - it really helps to see what you're talking about.

[Sharpe]

Sure thing, i just have trouble finding my screenshots on vista and i dont have the software to convert the tga's. Is there an online source?

[tone]

Yes.

DDS converter is good and allows batch conversion from most formats to others including .tga to jpg or .bmp to .jpg.

Most of us use FRAPS to take screenshots I think.

[Sharpe]

Thanks, Should i be assigned a team or just play as who i want?

[tone]

It looks like we've got one person on each of the main factions. Have you got a strong preference / area of knowledge?

Heres the buggy achiaian hoplite

I really dont mind, i'll be whatever faction isnt being tested, i have a ridiculously large book on most pre-roman peoples. From Dacians to Carthage.

[tone]

For the Achaian hoplite we changed the unit it's using. The EDU should read like this for it. Those will be in the next fix.

i played a bit with map_region.tga and map_features.tga... i altered some region borders (affected around 8 provinces), fixed few rivers(in 2 provinces), changed settlement placement (in 4 provinces). It was mostly done in Boihaemum, then few changes in Pannonia and other near provinces. When i tried to play new campaign, after choosing a nation and started new campaign nothing happened. Then after closing whole program this report showed:
