Hi) Why did you give up spies? They provide information for strategic plans.

Cavalry is one of total war's weak points if you ask me. It never feels or performs quite right.
A quick question. Since Rome already starts big, is there campaign too easy?
What’s the deal with near invulnerable enemy generals? I can have a unit of heavy horse surrounding him for half an hour and Hannibal refuses to die.
I made a huge pause with ATW since the summer, I came back mostly for this mod, but I am so disappointed to see the same problem I had as before.
Namely, when I played Carthage, all the Roman cities had no or almost no garrison, and this issue is seemingly present still. I besieged Carthago Nova, and only two ships are guarding it...

hello, can you tell me is possible to changes on his mod that settlement have more "slots" to build more buildings?
Not a single mod that has anything to do with garrisons, I use some minor sub-mods like Olympian battle camera, no rain&fog, closer deployment zones, better performance...

EDIT:
With Hannibal I besieged Segobriga, while Romans besieged Hispalis, both settlements were owned by Turdetani, next turn those settlements are magically belonging to Arevaci who are not at war with me or Rome, thus their settlements are not besieged. What am I missing here?
EDIT1:When I besieged Cordoba, its literally one unit, and I do not even have to build siege engines. However when I attacked the Turdetani settlements, I had to build siege engines and they had reasonable garrisons, so something is wrong with Rome. I also took Cordoba in one turn, without attacking...
EDIT2: Rome just took Segobriga, no siege, no siege attack, nothing. I am confused...

With the Rome campaign, it feels as if the cavalry line of the Military chain is lacking in unit purpose. Maybe bringing the Equites Extraordinary to recruitable thru that line might give it a little more worth. Also maybe adding for the Augustan reforms Equites Singulares to regions that they were recruited from might add more fun to it.
I am certain this is on your end, as I just went in game to double-check. Roman garrisons were the first to be rebalanced and to my memory have been working since many months before release.
Spoiler for Syracusae garrison:
Spoiler for Malaca:
What I recommend here is disabling all non-AE mods and even our submods for a start. Run the game only using part 1 and part 2 from the workshop. Then, one by one, enable the other mods and see which one is the culprit.

Could you guys do something about the lines where the greek soldiers make references to Rome, like when you click on them and they say "For the glory of Rome!", or is that not possible to change?
can you please bring all the rebels factions back the game is boring without them, Rebellions happens and no armies appears on screen.
Elephant units seem extremely overpowered. Just fought a Seleucid army with 2 units of elephants as Ptolemy. My entire army was routed by the elephants without the rest of their army ever engaging me. And thats with me using a combination of Pikes, Spears, Swords, Javelins, and Cavalry. Pikemen feel underwhelming in every way. They do little damage, are slow moving, and are routed quickly and easily by nearly every type of unit. I'm not sure if it's graphics or if it mechanics, but they never seem to put the tips of the pikes down. Any single unit of cavalry, regardless of type can route my Peltast Pikemen. According to many studies and available texts, pikemen were the pinacle of spear tactics. There have been many reports of the various methods on how the pike was utilized over the millennia of its history, all of which suggest it was highly maneuverable and primarily an offensive weapon that presented the enemy with a wall of charging points. There is no evidence in history were pikes were annihilated by a cavalry charge.

Thanks AE team for a brilliant mod. I particularly appreciate the sensible building chains and character development options. I'm also enjoying quick AI turn times. This seems much better than when I last played, soon after the mod was released. How have you improved the AI turn times so much ??
I also agree with removal of agents but perhaps you could add the spy back with no abilities other than longer range vision ie spying but not assassinating etc. Thanks again for making the game which Rome II should have been !

Too many trait gains by the characters. Nearly every turn someone gets something sometimes even two traits.
Traits are awarded from buildings, ranking up in the presence of buildings and from actions. Did you build a library, by chance? Otherwise, are there particular traits your characters gain more frequently?
Besides, it's not very surprising if you play a large faction like Rome or Ptolemaic Egypt

The traits are great, characters matter now. You have to think about who you use to do what depending on their traits etc. and try to mould them into what you want them to be. They actually feel like individuals, its so much more fun.
Only thing is the traits do contradict sometimes. A general might be a 'courageous leader' and 'cowardly' (or something along those lines) at the same time.
I just got myself all excited!!! I will have to look into this more myself but....It would be spectacular to have a script to spawn a Roman army, not full army but maybe from 4 to 8 units, when as a player you are a Hellenic faction and you attack another Hellenic faction. I think DEI has some scripts for the Carthage and Rome rivalry that might be adaptable for this. I know it would be a huge undertaking and like I said, I will start diving into it to see what I can come up with and what I would need more help with.
