Announcement: Europa Barbarorum II 2.3 released!

[QuintusSertorius]

First post updated with direct download links.

Titles? The Cursus Honorum is essentially complete. I don't think anything of that nature was changed in this patch, but I forget what features are which sometimes since I've been mostly playing the test build not 2.2.

It's on the change log, so that's why I asked.

[Voice of Treason]

Thanks team...for all the hard work!
Gonna get me a Direct Download (fingers crossed) now.

May the Bartixian 20 Watt Light bulb of Illumination forever guide your path...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!! You are THE BEST!

2.3 now has a complete set of "Captains" that are different from the Generals. However, they are disabled, because the file in question, the descr_character is an either/or choice. Either you have proper generals in Custom Battle, multiplayer and historical battles (and no distinction between Captains and Generals in the campaign), or you can get a distinction between Generals and Captains in campaign battles only (but in the other three you always see Captains).

If you want the latter, download this and put it in your mods\ebii\data\ folder: descr_character.txt

As always, back up your file so you can revert before you apply this. I have no idea if this is a savegame compatible change.

Just be aware, the changelog maps what has changed since 2.2b, so if you've been playing 2.2c-2.2r, many of those things will not be "new".

"Either you have proper generals in Custom Battle, multiplayer and historical battles (and no distinction between Captains and Generals in the campaign), or you can get a distinction between Generals and Captains in campaign battles only (but in the other three you always see Captains)."

Wait, Quintus, you said if one wants the latter, meaning the second option - distinction between Generals and Captains - you'd have too download the file. So that means in the default EB2 2.3, generals and captains are one and the same? Maybe this file that restores difference in looks between these two ranks of officers should be put up in the front page?

How do you uninstall the previous iterations of EB2? the guide talks about there being a "uninstal EBII" option in my start menu, but I don't see it. Do I just uninstall it from the default Program configuration page (windows 7).

If you see EB2 in your Program configuration page you can uninstall it from there. Otherwise if you have to, just delete the 'ebii' folder in the 'mods' directory of your m2tw install and that should be ok.

[Wulfburk]

on windows 7 i went to control panel then on uninstall programs and EB 2 2.2 was there to be uninstalled.

Thanks for the swift reply!

EDIT: and thanks you too Wulfburk.

I've uninstalled from the Program Configuration page.

Yes, in 2.3 by default the situation remains as before - Captains and Generals look the same. Ie both use the General model.

If apply this file, in the campaign only, they will be different. However, in Custom Battles, multiplayer and historical battles, you will only see Captains leading your armies.

i might be wrong but my feeling was that single player campaings is what the majority of players plays the most. a little odd perhaps to have it disabled for a campaign... in either case, adding this info and file in question to the OP might be a good idea.

I agree, and so do other team members, but we have nothing like a settled position on it. So for now, we've left it as it was, only now the option meaningfully exists for every faction.

Actually there are two: tribesmen and nobles.
