Hi DEI team,
Thank you for the update, it's great work and I'm having a blast with Atropatene! It's the most enjoyable campaign I've had for a while.
I've noticed what appear to be some errors with Atropatene (final two points cover all 'Eastern' factions);
- (Sound) Grivpanvar (Early) have Greek voice overs. Is this intentional?
- (Graphical) Median Horse (Reformed) hold shields while firing bows, causing clipping.
- (Confederation) Atropatene cannot confederate with the Persian culture faction (liberated) that occupies the fishing port town in Gedrosia. This is in an existing save. They are not listed as 'Same Blood'. (apologies, I cannot recall the exact name - Ashvar?)
- (Character Ancillaries) These seem to occasionally disappear a number of turns after being assigned. It doesn't always happen, but I have noticed multiple instances of the 'Noble Steed' disappear. Is this by design? I can't say I've noticed it before.
- (Campaign Values) Atropatene characters (generals, politicians, agents etc) draw all of their names from the Caucasian name pool. The only exception to this seems to be the scripted characters.
- (Campaign Values) 'Eastern Satrapy' Chain (City Centre) has different, and actually worse, values than the Baktrian / Seleucid equivalent (e.g. 150 commerce vs 200). Is this intentional?
A couple of other questions. Another user in the Atropatene Preview thread suggested a different Persian culture icon to replace the purple moon. Do you guys have plans to incorporate this?
Additionally, have you considered removing the 'Eastern' prefix from the building names? It's a weird inclusion on the part of CA.
A final point; I note that the Greek factions have access to unique ancillaries (e.g. Alexander's Sword). Are their plans to expand on the Eastern / Persian ancillaries in such a way, e.g. the 'Sceptre of Darius', or to allow other factions to obtain the special ancillaries? This may already be possible.
Again, thanks a lot team.
