I meant something like the standards that officers may carry not the artificial ones.

Great shots people. Thanks for sharing :-)

[Roma_Victrix]

Cool pics, but it just doesn't look right for Camillan-era Roman units to be invading Greece. Wait for those Polybians! They're coming!

What I love with this version is how you can have a stable battlefront. Here, you can clearly see where the Epilektoi Hoplitai have pushed and crushed the Peltastai Logades. That's awesome!

Damn, these Somatophylakes Strategou and Epilektoi Hoplitai are absolute beasts!

Hello, I'd like to ask whether EB's 2 cities are massive, and whether they are good for taking screenies. I mean Carthage, Rome etc.

Thank you Frodge, for linking to my thread to answer him. I'm glad to see my thread is still of service. It's a shame that huge cities are so rare in the game. I've modded my own descr_strat file to start the game off with more than a dozen huge cities across the EB II map, since you almost never besiege them otherwise. It takes like a hundred years for all those minor cities to turn into large cities, which is still one level below the huge city! The minor and large cities also share the same model, so that you besiege the same settlement type over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. It takes roughly 200 years (that's 800 turns!) before you start to see a significant amount of huge cities dotting the map. By then, however, the game is most likely filled with only a handful of large empires that are gridlocked in a stalement of battle, so again, your inner core of developed huge cities will most likely be too far from the battlefront to be seen on the battle map during a seige! Unless you're taking a huge city from the enemy, of course.

Here's what a Roman huge city looks like.

Roma_Victrix: I remember a command from RTW/EBI that allowed you to zoom in to a city and walk through it without fighting, seeing all the structures. Alas, I've forgotten the command. Do you know if it's possible to do this in EBII?

[krste]

That wasn't a command it was a regular feature available in the town screen.

I know it's just classical hoplites, but they fought so bravely against the Sauromatae hordes and their treacherous arrows that I had to make a gesture. When they finally routed, they were mired in corpses up to the knees.

@2saz: wow. You're screenshots look weird. The hoplites are super pronounced and everything else looks like it's been edited in photoshop to have an unfocused lens. Did you do that? Or is that some sort of thing you downloaded for M2TW?

In either case, @Wulfburk, the original poster of this thread, you think you can order me around? And tell me to "post your screenshots?" WELL HOW ABOUT NO, BRO?! You're not the boss of me! You're not my dad! I'll post screenshots just because I want to and for no other reason. God, you make me so angry! I'm going to blow off some steam by going for a drive.

Hi Roma,

Thank you for your answer, it helps, and you can ignore my previous post on one of the previous threads. Looks very cool though, the settlements.

Why didn't you take provinces in the south?

[Jorlaan]

Also it's sad how passive faction AI vs rebels is they do go for rebel cities but almost never after rebel armies.

I have noticed this as well and I dislike it. I am the only one cleaning up all those rebel stacks and devastation can cost a LOT. Rebel stacks in a neighbors lands will still affect me, but they won't do anything about them so I have to risk relations to deal with it.

Why didn't you take provinces in the south?

Not worth it. I am going for the rich coastal cities
I may update the map soon. I like how to AI is behaving, except for KH.

[Rail93]

I like the fact AI leaves rebel stacks - it makes game more challenging
