I think it may need replacing on grounds of historical accuracy. We have lots of good alternatives though.

@motyc you're the one taking a complex discussion I was having with Ed on several subjects and simplifying it to a single item. Ed was doing fine at arguing his point of view, you're not improving the discussion, just compounding antagonism.

The idea I was trying to make to the developers is to use the most expressive image for the job even if it might not be 100% accurate. As simple as that.

Here you go Los San Patricios

Not sure what event to use if for though. Any ideas anyone? We might have to make a special DotS event just so I can use that image.

Could we make a special event for this one too?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Thanks, that image is very interesting, what's the book (or at least that part of it) about a specifik event or is it talking about sins and evil deeds in general or something?

I can't tell you sorry. Hross may be able to tell you as he compiled our event images.

That's terrifying!

**Space_Ed** · March 03, 2011, 06:12 AM

Lol, what's supposed to be going on there?

**Hengest** · March 03, 2011, 09:09 AM

The cannablism one? I think it refers to the Great Famine, not sure though

Yeah maybe 1315-1322 are good random dates for that

**Co22** · March 03, 2011, 11:08 AM

Maybe you can use the cannibalism picture for when a settlement falls after a long siege because they have run out of food?

Upon further reviewing those map preview pics, I noticed the generals having only one command star. Does this mean that good commanders will be more rare?

I admit I'm a bit out of touch with the traits dept right now, minaly because our coders are busy with RL. But I can tell you we are using BBB as a foundation for the first release- just so we have something reliable to work with until we implement the system we had planned. BBB should give you an idea of the types of gens you'll get. As for titles, I've been quite keen to tone down the automatic bonuses from titles. Mainly they will give authority or influence rather than command. So basically- yes I think 10 star gens will not be that common

Terrific! I'd like to be less inclined to do auto-resolve and resort to actually fighting the battles myself. I tend to get lazy when I have amazing commanders. Got a massive battle coming up and have a 7 star commander? Auto-resolve! No way I feel like dealing with that.
