To all the loyal fans of my submod and current Carthaginian fans, I have decided to show you some of the next ideas for the patch of the Barcid submod that will be released once the next version of EBII is released to the public.
A Carthaginian military triumph - We don't know very well how the Carthaginians celebrated their military victories but we do have some info about it, especially about Hamilcar celebrating in Carthage after his victory during the Mercenary War. So, what I did was: A Carthaginian General that has an heroic victory will have chances of getting a new ancillary that represents spoils of victory but also the right to celebrate in Carthage. After that, he will have to go to Carthage but only when Carthage is finally at peace state. When he arrives near Carthage he will then loose the ancillary and a nice historic event will appear (with some text to read and an image), I'm also planning on adding a specific music for that moment.
Hasdrubal and Mago Barca - These two Hannibal brothers will also appear during the campaign, near the Iberian Kart-Hadast and with unique portraits. You will now be able to gather the three military leaders and take the war to Rome!
Massinisa or Syphax - You will get a choice event where you will have to decide which General you want to ally with. Whatever you decide, one of them will become your General with a Numidian BG and the other will appear as a rebel General with a very large Numidian army, ready to make war on you.
More Portraits - I keep working on this project too and currently I have added around 300 new portraits. This time it also includes the Celtic factions, which from their 80 and something EBII portraits they had, for the moment, 53 portraits have been replaced (around 80 new if you count the young and old portraits), so you will see a lot of new and nice looking portraits. Carthage, Numidia, the Western Greek factions, and the Iberian factions also have a lot of new portraits. A very important decision was that I removed the reenactors portraits, so that you won't see anymore the too realistic human portraits. There are still some of those portraits but they are really a minority now.
There are also a great number of new traits, ancillaries and events that I have been working with the team and may be present in the next patch that will add a lot more flavour to Carthage and some will also be for all factions, so enjoy the waiting
