Do you actually play all your battles? I can't imagine the time needed to play to 89BC with an empire that size. You must auto resolve a lot?...

I auto-resolve sometimes, but not all the time. I've been playing the same campaign for four whole months now (since January). I like to play really long campaigns, because I want to enjoy the fruits of all my labor and build an absurdly huge economy that can support multiple full stacks that go around pwning everyone. Usually I give up and start a new campaign after 200 or 300 turns, but after I got past the 400 turn mark I decided to keep going. I'm so glad that I did! There was only one other campaign where I played past the 700 turn mark. I'm shooting for 800 or 850 turns. By that point all my enemies (including current neutral factions) should be destroyed anyway, defeating the purpose of playing unless I break my alliance with the Seleukids.

Well, it's taken me a couple weeks, but a couple decades later in the game I now have all of Germania and that last Pritanoi holdout in northern Ireland.


I think this is a good moment to end the campaign, although I might just conquer the rest of the Boii for the lulz. If I wanted to I could go on to push the Lugiones and Scythians out of their own territories, but I'd rather have them as buffer states against the Seleucids (as crazy as that sounds for Eastern Europe in the middle of the 1st century BC, lol). I could theoretically prolong the campaign just by breaking my alliance with the Seleucids and waiting to see the consequences of that action. Or I could even invade Saba and hand each of their territories over to my tributary vassal in Nabataea, therefore ruling much of Arabia indirectly through my client state. By the way, Epeiros, the Getai, Kart-Hadast, the Ptolemies, and Hayasdan are all vassal states of mine. I'm also allied with Taksashila, as are the Seleucids, and I used to be allied with the Parthians, until the Seleucids turned them and the Saka into wandering factions. It's been like that for roughly a century now and they still haven't destroyed them.

It's a nice free tool, and collapsing the DOF has produced a great result. I think you may have started a trend there!

Good gravy!

Are these new models?
Did you use the video editor to make them?

You're so persistent! Fine. Here's some eye candy: Thorakitai, Epilektoi Hoplitai, Deuteroi Phalangitai, and other infantry storming the central plaza of a Hellenistic city towards the end of a siege.

Begrunt? Not sure what that means! Is it German?

Thank you! And thank you all! But I would like to thank more specifically my mother: without your computer, I wouldn't be here today so thank you maman!

And the award for best supporting mom goes too...2Saz's mom! Congratulations.



Unfortunately she couldn't be here tonight, so accepting the award on her behalf are the Sacred Band of Carthage.

How do you take screenshots of battles without the any of the UI or controls displaying, and screenshots of just the small world map?

[paleologos]

You can choose minimal HUD in the options (menu) and keys F5, F6, F7 hide/reveal what remains.

F6 and F7 change volume on my computer and F5 doesn't do anything. But I suppose screenshots of battles with minimal HUD are good enough. I still hope someone can tell me how to get screenshots of the world map, the one with the colours that shows the size of every faction.

There is always the "Key Settings" tab of the options menu in the lobby screen of the game, I'm sure you'll figure out how to do it.

On a different note, this time I come to the EB fans with a screenshot and a question.

The question:
Which of the EBII bow animations would one need to use for a bow of this size?
