Barracks - Wrong description (I think this one it's in every Barb faction)

Been playing a campaign with rev TEN (till 573 AUC) and aint found any major problems, the only disturbing thing is the land-bridges in the Straits. Later I'll post an in-deph report. Have fun
--------------
Edit 12-14-08 In depth report (sort of)

Well its 573 AUC in my campaign and I'm basically stalled. I was fighting both Makedonia an Scythia from 538 till now (and more recently Independent greeks join the party, those opportunist bastards ) and this continous state of war had drained my population and my treasury (I had to take "loans" 4 times - a.k.a add_money cheat). Besides Sarmizegetusa, the rest of my cities had no more 600 or 700 people. Here are some pics:

This is my only remaining army at Philippi

Finally and I dont want to offend anyone but the guy who redesigned factions border colours was drunk or something because if not I dont understand what he wanted to do with this new design

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Look Scythia and Independent Greek, did you note any difference?? :hmmm:BTW, take a look on Romans colours. I think dark red was better

I think that 2 possible solutions are:
a) Rise the resources in descr_regions.txt
example

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Dacia
Sarmizegetusa
dacia
Getae
72 122 168
gold, copper, iron, dogs, rebel, area7, r2, elephants, limes
5
12<---------- quite reasonable

Mikre_Skythia ;;150th
Troesmis
dacia
Iazyges
19 147 64
dogs, gold, rebel, area7, r4, limes
5
3 <--------- rise it up to 5 perhaps

b) make the recruiment system 1-turn based

Well this all for now. I repeat it my intention is not to offend anyone just help to make RS2 as good and playable as possible
Hope this helps :original:

Looking at the screenshots of Tarabostes and Dacian bodyguard I see they are still using the old skin, didn't I send you the latest one Tone/DVK?

Great job mate

Could you put these graphics errors in the unit graphical errors thread please? Thanks

[leif_erikson]

Couple of Dacian names should be taken out of the picture, likes of Ion, Dnestr (slavic), Skunxa, Attila???, Vencaslac (slavic), Banat, Oltenia, Markos, Saulius.

[dvk901]

Fixed.

Played some turns as the Dacian's and I must say that they are one if not THE best faction.
Just one thing I saw that annoyed me a bit was that the population level was a bit to high. It took to few turns before I got a message about upgrading a town and just turn later the next etc etc.
I know that the amount of people is so high because of the AI and it's stack trowing mind but it really makes it hard for players like me who want to build a small amount of armies that are capable to be out in the field for quite some time and want to build up there cities before upgrading it to the next level. Maybe we should have replaceable population files so that you could change the population level for the faction you wish to play as.

[dvk901]

Not going to happen for quite some time..if at all. It is, at least point, too hard to make changes and remember where all of them need to be made. Also, my observation has been that these cities are still happy, so it isn't 'necessary' to upgrade them yet. When we get the stats and economy finished for this (or close), I can start working on a one-turn setup...but that won't be for a while.

[tone]

I can pretty easily make a version of the EDU with scaled up costs, but again this will be lower down the prioritites.

[dvk901]

Apple's talking about the population Dacian cities start with. That would involve a 'descr_strat.txt' change.

[apple]

It's not that important.
