If you leave the cities in spain alone, they all revolt in one turn.

Finally got the Beta to work and I've now done a fairly extensive Carthaginian recruitment test in the campaign. Here's the report:

Mercenary/Levy observations (see if it is as it is meant to be)

Other than that

it's been great!
Phew...That took ages to type up!

EDIT: With regards to what Columcille said, Iberian settlements do have very low public order (around 60% max at "low" tax), but none have revolted yet (after 3 turns). They're rioting like crazy but I'm in the process of building happiness buildings. Maybe they shouldn't be sooo rebellious...

I've done an exhaustive graphical test of Carthaginian units. I've been through all of their custom battle units (around 50) and here's the report:

P.S Some of these are very minor, but we want RS 2 to be the best possible, right? I wanted to be thorough, so I posted them anyway but don't feel obliged to fix each and every one.

Graphical Errors

They're all the errors. The units look great overall!

N.B Caledonian Cavarly and Palmyran Cataphracts also have the wierd horse ass...I didn't get any screens

For the sake of consistency: Celtic Cavalry have 240 men in the unit and Iberian Cavalry have 48 men in the unit. Is this intended? (I think not...)

P.S Why the hell does imageshack take so long to upload?!

I'm just starting a campaign as Carthage and will post the results here (updating as I progress):

Campaign

Rome attacked Genoa on turn 2, after (cleverly) moving most of their forces from safe Southern Italy, to the frontier - Northern Italy. I now have around 4 legions (stacks) amassed in Northern Italy to deal with with my single inferior stack: It's gonna be a struggle to beat them back. BTW, can we make Hannibal a bit better - I've been sieged by Tertius Lepidus who is 21 and has 7 stars already! It is slightly unrealistic to have some arrodant, upstart from Rome be far better than the greatest tactician that ever lived (Hannibal having 4 stars and being 48 years old).

Additional Errors

The building prices are messed. As an example, in Genoa it costs 1000 to build a Shrine to Ba'al, whereas to build that exact building in other settlements it costs 100. I assume the price in Genoa is the correct price.

Cheers

Great job there mate, please update your first post with these errors so that all errors are easy to find.

**Columcille** · December 10, 2008, 08:18 PM

Sorry my work has been negelcted. Broken Pc and Exams coming up. I'll have very little time to do testing work.

Sorry. Columcille

**Ketchup** · December 11, 2008, 08:44 AM

Is there anything else specific that you guys would like me to test for Carthage?

**apple** · December 11, 2008, 02:45 PM

Just go for the next one.
Take a faction that hasn't been tested that much.

Begun campaign report in first post...

Right, I'm getting a CTD as Carthage on the campaign map. There's no error and it occurs straight as I click the end-turn button (i.e immediately). The only message I get is "Rome Total War has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution" altough that is a generic message and I doubt it will help...
