Announcement: Europa Barbarorum 2.2b is released!

(2.02a) Oh my god, that is the worst file hosting site I've ever seen. Whoever uses it should do a virus and malware sweep of their machine. Seriously, I love what you guys are doing with EBII, but don't put my $1000 investment at risk.

The dropbox version is okay. No red flags.

[Baron von Manteuffel]

Virus's galore with the patch.

[Jervaj]

Do you think the aptch wil lalso solve the save crashes or you still dont know what I was having them yet?

Thanks as always for the good work and the quick release of the patch to fix these issues that have arised.

Not sure what you guys are downloading, virustotal reports absolutely no hits and despite my initial thought that it may be the way a team member wrote one of our tools, it obviously isn't the case. It seems like your anti virus or whatever is reporting that isn't functioning correctly or giving an erroneous report.

Here's a dropbox mirror to download the patch from in case you're getting some sort of adware from that site.

EDIT:
To clarify- sometimes an anti virus will mistakenly think a snippet of code or the way something is set up indicates a virus, by using virustotal we can see if the major anti virus' like kapersky, norton or malwarebytes report something wrong all in succession. If there's a majority of hits or close to a majority (50%) then even still it is a suspicious file. Clearly however, with 0 hits out of 56 reputable antiviruses, it isn't the case.

if you're using any adblocks or edited host files or an otherwise well protected machine which the average user might not be, which is likely given that you're a tech savvy coder type, you can't be so sure what you see is what the rest of us get. there are definitely much better and cleaner ways to distribute files. like dropbox, which you already did now. so thanks for that.

@ z3n Thank you and + rep!

I noticed that units still dont automatically climb ladders and towers when attacking roman walls. Is that bug not fixable? Not that big of a problem but if its possible, it should be fixed.


Also something perhaps more important is that during my siege of Capua(as Rome), i could not break the gate with my Ram. For some reason the pathfinding was messed up and my Leves were just turning the battering ram around in front of the gate and stopped.
I had to win the siege with ladders and a tower.

Might be worth looking into.

Is the new KH starting situation intended?

Seems pretty weird to have the FL in Crete with only 2 units. Wasnt him leading an army to actually take Krete? You need to hire most of the available mercs there to have a decent force now to take Krete with.

Also the power balance with Makedon seem to have been shifted in general. I may not be recalling it perfectly as its been some time since last one but although outnumbered I didnt remember such a big difference. Im getting sieged with a full stack turn 2 and they have another full stack in Korinthos while you dont have 1 full stack with all your starting troops that are dispersed to add difficulty.

Hello,

I downladed the patch from that site without troubles using mozilla firefox + adblock plus complement ( slow/free download option , of course ), no virus warning at all.

Started another campaign makedon 2.2a cai-average/bai-average and all greece provinces have their ports working in the campaign map ( i checked with my spy and all of them have lighhouse + blue circle + trade lines going from/to the tile). Team 1- bugs 0, another match won, well done, and pretty fast too if you ask me. Ports in Athenai and Sparta are working too once i conquer the cities. Ill need some turns tio check the epeiros ones but i bet there wont be any trouble.

Areus was basically on Krete to hire mercenaries and cause trouble - you can still do that quite easily at the start, as long as you don't leave it too long before the other factions hire up everything available.

Glad it's fixed.

Should I download this or the one in the OP?

[bordinis]

Is this normal playing as Getai to be able to recruit Esseda at Sarmiszegethusa?

[Maroslav]

i liked more previous carthage. yep they were frozen till numidians took almost rest of rebel camps, but they at least were stacked enough to defend their hearth of empire. now they keep parked 3/4 all stacks in cities for paranoid imagines beeing attacked by eleutheroi. also, i have to say general with 2 loyalty never betrayed me but seems its absolute routine in ai armies, where biggest ptolemaic stack whic they relied on to defend against nabatans just deserted bcoz of 2 loyalty lol . another thing i dont understand is why carthage have so many ships when they sending soldiers from lilybum to iberia via foot march.

Yeah in my Romani campaign Carthage has big problems surviving

[romanius24]

My Carthage is fine too in a 2.2a Rome/KB Campaign. And i expect it should be possible for them to re-emerge as well if they get conquered.

They are doing well enough to send a stack to Italy to help me out against Epirus and i think they are at war with Numidia too. I love this AI.

You guys really did an amazing job with this release.

[MrKhazar]

"Thanks" for answering my question!

Anyway, I have to report two bugs that did not result in any crashes. On the map, position (x,y) 310,9 Saba's units always get stuck trying to find their way to Axum. In addition, Gergouia rebelled against Rome and it did not result in the Arverni re-emerging. Other than that, no complaints so far!

[Zajuts149]

Now that the Triarii are halved in strength, have their recruitment been doubled?

[Kaskad]

The ports are missing on the campaign map, but in the same time are built in the cities I mentioned.
I will install the patch, or directly reinstall everything, and see if the problem comes from my installation.
