Makuria on BC - 2.3 => THANKS :D

[Menelik_I]

I would like to thanks the BC teams for the excellent release of BC 2.3

I was kind of lazy to download because I had a feeling it wouldn't be that good ... I was freaking wrong

First of all thanks for the great balancing and change that make the Makuria campaign more interesting than in the original BC 2.

War with the Abbyid start right away and the guys ask you to become vassale or take it, this increase the quality of the campaign and reduce camping.

adding Meroe has standard settlement was great, but making direct border with the Abbyid makes war with them actually interesting as they they was stakes taking Rebel Assuan before getting you. The distance between Nubia(Makuria) and Ethiopia is also perfect, and reflect the fact that you have first to secure your position with the Egyptian before expanding.

The battle with the Abbyid where great too, the kind of edge of the seat micromanagement due, light infantry baiting the enemy and tactically using general to flank and charge them in the rear.

I'm happy you didn't fall for the call to destroy Makuria uniqueness by making it another heavy armoured faction, that one spear unit you added is handy.

his stance on the budget and foreign policies are worrisome.

I think I preferred the old makurians, don't like the air of instant confrontation

I think it is better to get instant confrontation, other wise the game is boring because the Abbuyids wouldn't garrison enough forces south to confront you .... it would be a dumb steam-rolling.

Also it is tiring to go around taking rebel settlements without much challenge.

Sry for my offending but...Man learn to play fuc***ing easy level of playing and stop complain for BC 2.3.

I play on hard campaign and very hard battles and think than is no problem to eat this easy single battle and campaign demands.
If want really challenge U should go to game_spy and play some battles with human/against player.
Recruit units only in castles/fortress and some from cities and I can make U sure that AI is nothing against human player. Stop complain and play or stop play and specially complain

Wudang and BC team its only 2.3 but EVERYBODY can see that U `ve put a big effort and plenty of your time to make something special

If you're playing a muslim faction you can secure some alliances easily. I had five in my Oman campaign before turn 50. If you're playing a christian you sure have trouble allying with your regional ennemy => Ayyubids won't ally KoJ easily.

Well thats because you (oman) are allied with (i think) muslim factions. You can do the same for christians.

In 2.3 Makuria have it's historical border at the 1174. Aswan belongs to Ayyubids, and Makurian Qasr Ibrim was captured in 1173 by army of Shams ad-Dawla Turanshah, brother of Salah ad-Din.

OK I understand now

Thanks for having added that Makurian spearman unit, it somewhat balance the game without destroying Makuria missile tradition.

true many factions suffer from endless rebel settlement gobbling
