They'll pop up on the campaign map in the region of Caledonia, threatening the Pritanoi faction first.

    I wanted those elephants...

    To be honest, EBII is rather scandalous and inaccurate for ignoring flying elephants like Dumbo. How else do you think the Ptolemies were able to beat the Seleucids and their armored Indian elephants? I mean, duh!

    EBII is so cheap, lame and non-historical for excluding the very obvious catapult-launched flaming flying carpets for the Taksashila faction, as they were used in ancient India and demonstrated here in this incredibly accurate Tollywood/Bollywood flick:

    EBII is just a laughable pile of garbage for utterly failing to capture the undeniable historical realities of Greco-Roman deities singing down to Earth from the heavens (on the battle map, of course, during both sieges and field battles). The gods of the Greek pantheon should be able to appear in whatever form they prefer, such as Zeus transforming himself into an aging American cowboy in a ten gallon hat. Here is actual footage of Zeus appearing before the terrified denizens of the southwestern United States, sending ear-piercing screams as a harbinger of his menacing thunderbolts that he would unleash during the coming thunderstorm to the region:



    EDIT: also, whenever you fight against the Sweboz faction, this song has to play in the background on the battle map:

    Roma, how do you embed youtube links into your posts? really struggling with this:/

    @Sarkiss


    Go to Youtube, find the link you want and copy everything after the equals sign.
    For example, in the "link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0bp32opLxI" you copy"k0bp32opLxI".

    When making a post, go to Advanced settings.
    Click on the Youtube icon, paste the stuff you copied in the middle of what pops up.

    Voilla.

    We should make it so that northern europeans (Gauls, Britons, Belgians and Germans) are capable of fielding decent quality soldiers and have a fighting chance against the Romans and other factions, not being the savage tribespeople that some of them were and not being ultimately unilaterally owned by the Romans in almost every single instance, in accordance to the Bellum Gallicum, even if they had terrain and numbers in their favor against the Latins, because it would be innacurate but very cool and edgy (and who cares about what Caesar has to say anyway, he was obviously just a liar like Herodotus, its all fake news you see! I for one think that Russia interfered with Caesar's reports).





    Oh wait.... wrong neighbourhood... *takes his leave with haste*

    To recap some of the most excellent, awesome, tubular, and noteworthy suggestions throughout this thread and criticism of stupid awful no good very bad EBII for lacking them:

    * Dick Tracey wristwatches
    * Monster trucks
    * Dinosaurs
    * Modern tech and extraterrestrials
    * Autobots
    * Death metal and smooth jazz soundtracks
    * LOTR and Game of Thrones characters and units, such as Orcs and White Walkers
    * A full global expansion of the map so you can conquer not only the Qin and Han dynasties of China, but also Iron Age Japan and Olmec Mexico!
    * Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as Captain Hook
    * Terminator cyborgs sent back from the future
    * Bill & Ted as time machine travelers
    * Marvel and DC Comics characters
    * US Presidents like Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump as generals or indeed entire units with their faces
    * Pokemon and Pikachu
    * Vikings
    * Medieval knights
    * Samurai
    * Kung Fu Shaolin Monks
    * Flaming pigs, war hounds, and anachronistic Bronze Age Egyptian units from RTW

    Did I miss anything? One of my personal favorites was including Syria's dictator Bashar al-Assad for the proposed Syrian Archers:



    Also, I should be able to destroy the Temple of Jerusalem and build a Gulf State Arab-owned Casino, Hotel, and Resort in its place:



    Additionally, there should be a campaign map quest where Hannibal and Scipio accost each other at the nightclub in Syracuse, Sicily, where they didn't expect to see each other, leading to a drunken brawl and the bouncers throwing them out into the street for them to finish their business elsewhere, like at Zama.

    EBII keeps dropping the ball over and over again, it's pathetic! Forget the Lithobolos and the Onager, we should have had twenty artillery units by now utilizing palm trees that catapult Indian soldiers behind the walls of fortified settlements. Come on guys, this is basic level history stuff, right up there with Ancient Aliens, Marco Polo introducing pasta to Italy, Vikings wearing horned helmets, Nero playing the fiddle at a concert while Rome burned, Egyptian pharaohs using slaves to build the Giza Pyramids, and the young George Washington cutting down the cherry tree at Mount Vernon and being honest about it to his father.

    Also, why are Celts wearing anything over their torsos at all? I thought this mod was supposed to be historically accurate! ALL CELTS WERE BARE-CHESTED AT ALL TIMES! Google it, it's true. Don't @ me. Also, where is Cleopatra VII Philopator of the Ptolemaic dynasty and why isn't she a black Nubian goddess riding a panther Dionysus style?

    Agreed. It really is a travesty that EBII has utterly failed to incorporate Serbs, Croats, and Kosovo Albanians and all their various units. And accordions! Where are the accordions!

    I agree; South Slavonic peoples with should be incorporated no matter how anachronistic that may be. And either with accordeons or not at all. Albanians, however, are in all likelihood already represented in the game as Illyrians. Just be careful not to suggest the removal of any delicacies from the game.

    The campaign map for EBII is so out of date and does not reflect current scholarship. The mod desperately needs to reflect reality and this map from the year 0 AD can help with that.

    Why on Earth did the EBII team so foolishly ignore the Roman national anthem as a song for the campaign map?



    Also, each Roman face should look like John Cusack and each Roman should dress like him as well. And where's the Roman Black Eagle Corps in the game! Just total BS, EBII, your mod is a joke without this super accurate stuff, like duels with Western Han Chinese generals in the Tarim Basin region on the easternmost fringes of our campaign map.

    The entire EBII soundtrack should consist of tracks from only two albums: Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys, and Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath.

    Why? Well, because pluck you buddy, that's why.

    I've been having the good ol' Hoplitai carry me through my playthrough at the moment
    Like their human counterparts they're a bit of a one trick pony but in a prolonged fight they usually come out on top.
