Forum: Europa Barbarorum II

Hey all, I suggest that we discuss some interesting twitter updates here. EB Twitter I'll start:

Are there any good accounts of the daily life of a roman soldier what they went through during peace and war? If possible I'd prefer to find something I could read online, but anything is better than nothing.

Hello everyone, I have a slight concern regarding the depiction of Pritanoi nobles riding chariots in battle. Now before the historians jump on me and tear me limb from limb quoting Caesar's (BG 4.24) description of British nobles riding chariots or Tacitus (Annals 14.35) description of Boudicca...

First of all I'd like to apologise beforehand for resurrecting the paranoid "occultus" subject, I'm sure some people get a bit fed up with the whole thing, so sorry about that:embarassed:. Anyway.... Was having a look throught the RS previews today and noticed the shield design for a...

With regards to the Belgic regions will the Fécamp style of fortification be used for settlements instead of the Murus Gallicus or would this require too much work considering the limited distribution of the Fécamp style?

I have a request for the mod team. First of all, I love EB, the the only thing I didnt like about the mod is the unit names that you gave the units... and you change the cities. I can barely recognize ancient city names on the map. So heres my request.... can you add an option in EB 2 to have...

Which new factions would you like to see in E.B?

Doing some studies about slinging i came across and interesting article many of you might already know: The Sling by Robert Dohrenwend, published in Journal of Asian Martial Arts Volume 11 Number 2 - 2002. In this essy Dohrenwend makes one espacially interesting remark about slings which is...

How are you guys going to deal with the horrible family tree system in MTW2? ( you can't pick family heir) It's hard-coded isn't it? Haven't seen a mod yet that has managed to get rid of it. One of the worst changes from Rome to MTW2

Hello, i follow this mod (eb &eb2) now for years. I like the idea behind it. I know that you will probably follow the important mods for medieval 2 to get inspiration etc. Now to my questions. Is there any plan to implement civil war or rebellion? an interesting idea with traits was made...

Hello, I am new to this website. I came here to inquire upon the topic of faction reforms. I would like to know if any new reforms are being put in place. I would also like to say that I think all factions should, after a certain date receive a massive reform. " You have single handedly...

Are there going to be any etruscan elements in EBII? (:

Since all the old X is historically inaccurate topics where X is some movie/tv series are popping up again. Why not have a list of alternatives?

I have been playing a bit of Rusichi Total war the last few days (M2TW mod), and the map seems huge in comparison to the EB map. Is this because you can make larger maps in modding M2TW or is it just my brain getting confused from all the landmass and comparatively little water? I am getting...

Wouldn't that be cool if factions emerged or re-emerged mid-campaign. Like the Mongols. Or say you kill off a faction but they come back later in the game. It might be possible to have them emerge based on specific conditions like for an example the capital city of the killed off faction revolted...

Could Ships be modded to move farther? It doesn't make sense to me that it takes a year or longer to cross the Mediterranean.

It´s one of the things that troubles me the most is the insane growth of the population ingame so i would like to know if there´s any way to control this for most of you this might seem a bit off but one of the things i enjoyed the most ingame was to control the demographics of my empire (with...

Since the EB 2 will run on M2TW Kingdoms will it have the mp campaign possibility like the ones mentioned in the forums: "There are several versions of (M2TW) multiplayer campaigns. One of the more popular versions I have seen on the GeneralsCollective (link is in my profile) is played by each...

Hello. Now im sure that EB II is going to be mind blowingly amazing but I have one small worry.... Combat in Medieval II is pretty sluggish... also the formations seemed to be very spaced. This lead to a couple of men at the fronts of the units engaging in realy slow and clumsy combat while the...

I got the idea for this thread from a poll I started regarding the making of EB2. Naturally, it developed into a discussion about the things in EB2 and how it will be different from EB1. Thus, with people so focused on the new things that will be present in EB2, I thought it would be productive to...

Hi all! This is my first time posting, and I must say that EB is a HUGE improvement over vanilla Total War. I can't believe I just got started on EB and now there's an EB 2 being made!!:dizzy2: Just a quick question though, I have always thought that the Cimbri were germanic. But when my cousin...

What if the engine of the new game is so much better than the engine of M2TW? Does this mean that development on EB2 will stop with the purpose of making EB3? I don't know what to keep my fingers crossed for...

Scordisci a case for a new faction Let me clarify here that to propose this faction has nothing to do with nationalism ideologies as I live half a world away from where this tribal kingdom was, mainly I propose it because of the interesting cultural mix present in a possible Scordisci faction as...

I'm an old shoe at modding RTW. Attempted to modd a few things in kingdoms. All the mod tutorials mention "Unpacking" the files. These files don't appear to be packed in RTW. Is there an unpacking tool out there? Also, the only thing I've yet to mod is the models and animations. 3ds max is...

Hello, I am wondering what is being changed in the battle engine. In vanilla Med2 I found battles were fought too quickly (units routing quickly, units dying quickly). I would like if the battles were slower and more tactital. Perhaps raising troops morale? I am new to this website. "Any...

I remember a while back there was a discussion whether the Roman army actually used the colour red as obsessively as Hollywood would have us think. Turns out it's no more "original" than the red Santa Claus uses :santa: That is just an example, but it does beg the question, how much of a unit...

Welcome to the second Stele. Today we will talk about unit recruitment and free upkeep units. M2TW has a nice unit recruitment feature in that you can recruit 1-3 units at a go depending on settlement size and military infrastructure present. EB2 will definitely take advantage of that. There...
