And yeah, one question. Must I blitzkrieg the map? Because I have a feel that I'm developing not that fast in comparison to Medieval 2. Is that me that inexperienced (I have struggles even on easy...) or EB forces that slow conquest of other territories?

I'm at turn 348 (186BC) and at this point I own Cisalpine Gaul (Including Massalia), Italy and Sicily along with Corsica and Sardinia. I'm only now starting to tickle Hispania. But I didn't go to war with Carthage except to seize Massalia and Sicily from them, and to take control of Corsica and Sardinia. They've expanded into Spain alot during the time I wasn't at war with them and the main reason that I hadn't gone to war with them sooner was because I kept dealing with large Boii warbands coming down to attack, turning the campaign into a back and forth grind. There were several times I had to rotate the legion and send them back into Italy for retraining, meanwhile a fresh one had come up to replace them. At this point I have a dedicated legion that resides in Cisalpine Gaul, and I've since gotten myself an alliance with the Boii but the raiding has been coming from the Aedui now, though far less often.

I think though its much better to take your time just so you can consolidate your land and forces more often, but going to war with other factions while they're still grabbing land from rebels can be very beneficial. Especially with the new diplomacy changes the EB team made, making ceasefires actually possible. I don't think its especially necessary to blitz the map, since the campaign takes 1200 turns and the way the reforms, buildings, recruitment and other things are laid out. The campaign is made for a long run. You couldn't blitz the map simply because government types, unrest and cultural penalties are such a large component of the game. You would have rebellions in no time at all.

Development is indeed meant to be rather slow compared with vanilla. Remember that this is 4 turns per year and EB2 covers roughly 300 years of history. Take it slow, consolidate as you go.

Damn Crusader, those are some beautiful shots mate.

[paleologos]

@ xHolyCrusader:
Very nice mate, can you please PM me the names of those units in your screenshots?

[xHolyCrusader]

Thank you guys!
paleologos if you go into custom battles and choose the Getai faction (Period: Early) you will find all the units from above, if you, for whatever reason, dont have access to EBII atm let me know and I can still pm you the specific names.

[paleologos]

It is problematic for me to play EB right now, it takes forever to load in my PC.
Just let me now the names of the units in the first and third screenies.

If I'm not mistaken, you're given the chance to switch from the esxtended UI to a reduced UI which is displayed only when the mouse pointer is in certain areas of the screen. You can choose through the Options panel, even while playing a battle.I seem to remember there should be a dedicated section of the Options.

Make Cleopatra great again xd

[net_boy]

What is the sub mod for icons and units are you useing?

[2Saz]

Make Cleopatra great again xd

Haha! Why would you do this?

[Hohenstaufen234]

Cleopatra in 272bc?! With a native egyptian army from another dynasty, and Hellenized soldiers to recruit?
What has happened to Ptolemaic Egypt? Did she consult the oracle at Delphi and got herself some time travel potion or what? Haha, fantastic!

[Roma_Victrix]

Make Cleopatra great again xd

That's so incredibly gay that I had to give you +1 rep, simply for the lulz.

For starters, what is Cleopatra VII doing in Ptolemaic Egypt in 272 BC. That doesn't even begin to explain the horrendous use of non-Hellenized native Egyptians who look like they are from a previous dynasty. There are at least some unit cards showing Hellenized and Hellenistic soldiers.

[Morrowgan]

Seems like a Novus Ordo Mundi mod for EBII

[Morrowgan]

The question is: why not a sequel for EB?

[MagusCaligula]

net_boy: The icons are from normal's unit icons mod for Rome II Total War, I edited them to fit nicely in this game's UI, I could release a sub mod but I need to ask permission to the guy first, the new troops I made them myself but apparently there will be similar troops in 2.3 version.

2Saz: Just messing around with this mod and learning to mod this game heh

Deutscher Kaiser: I'm actually thinking in making a submod in the Roman civil war at the time of Octavian and Anthony once 2.3 version is released xd
