Forum: Europa Barbarorum

If my General Ever gets this trait and the Sated Warmonger will he able to go back to governing cities well and gain administrative traits? Or is there a way to avoid getting this trait with my Generals or is it inevitable when they are constantly battling? :book:

Here's the place for posting concise bits of advice regarding EB, but also unusual discoveries about RTW gameplay (that directly affect EB). Issues that pop up again and again can be addressed here. OP content is subject to change. This thread may require moving to the gameplay section. Spam...

I read some of the threads on this board and cannot comprehend the sums of money some of you have in EB! Hundreds of thousands, even millions, mnei! I play as Rome, and my empire includes Spain, most of the present-day France, all of the coastal and some of the inland Africa (just got...

Calling all Strategos, Consuls, Kings, Chieftains, Generals and Admirals with a creative flair. It has been a while now since the last screenshot competition (thanks to those forum members who organised it, Duguntz I believe, and some excellent shots from players). I would like to suggest a film...

Hello! I wanted to ask if there was a way i can tweak the export_descr_character_traits so that Only the Person Who Gained a Cognomen will have it and not his descendants. Like If L.Scipio Cornelivs Becomes Lucius Africanvs; Him and ONLY him will have that Cognomen not his children. And If i do...

I took Gerrha and a few other desert factions (in experimental runs that I don't save), and in each case, I seem to have the required buildings and hidden resources...but no irrigation. Am I looking at the Building Tree and export_descr_buildings file wrong? Has anyone built irrigation as Pahlava...

Yo. My faction leader died in battle. Then my chosen heir became the FL. Curious to see who the computer set as the heir, I opened the family tree, but... this wasn't my family tree. This was another faction's family tree. After playing for a few years and a dozen turns, it still wouldn't let me...

Voluntary non-binding guidelines for submitting books to the bibliograhpy I will include all suggested books. I think that it is more useful if there is some uniformity in the list. I therefore ask that if you submit a book, please use the following format: Name of Book Underlined, Name of...

So I've managed to throw off my Silver oppressors and push far enough to get the first reforms. I got the type 1 government at my capitol and then finished building type 3's or better in all of the requisite cities. The year was 230 and I was looking forward to see what I'd get as a reward. Nothing...

1. What are hero tombs for? I've never built them since 3000 gold over 8 turns seems a bit much for only +5% happiness. Do they grant heroes certain traits? Also do Helvetii characters gain special bonuses from them (this might be farfetched by me I know :juggle2:)? 2. Do schools give any special...

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying by any means that the EB team should even consider making an "EB 0", now or in the future, I just thought it might be fun to speculate what an "EB 0" built for MTW with the same standards and objectives as EB would look like, how some of the unique features of...

Hey heeeeey! I remember seeing Duguntz somehow being able to have some of his Germanic family members getting a druidic education on that cool island in mid-western Britain. So, if someone might be so kind as to answer this: exactly how far does the Druidic education extend in terms of...

Can somebody explain to me what the type 1,2,3,4 governments are for?

I was in a battle where I had tons of Caucasian Archers (6!!) but only a few melee troops (2 pontic thorakitai, 2 hillmen) , against a half stack of AS (a 3 jews, 2 thorakitai, 2 panda n 3 half depleted klerochoi). By some miraculous luck I managed to draw them out (relatively) individually,...

Heya everyone, I'm playing a Casse campaign at the moment, and IIRC, while the Casse can recruit Brihentin from highest-level MICs, they can't actually build the MICs themselves, meaning they'd have to capture them from the Gauls, and that only after the Time of Soldiers reform. Is it possible...

Im currently having a problem of ridiculously sized pirate navies blockading Burdigala, Lemonum and Dartora bla bla. Theres no way the Arverni ( me) have enough money to buy them off and ive got no ports in the area. What can I do to make them go away coz a nice 3 city to mainland spain trade is...

Hello, Please rate the campaigns by order of difficulty and give your opinion on what could be done to make it more friendly to the average player. From hardest to easiest: 1. Hayasdan > possible fix: adding basic mines building in all caucasus city and upping population, making core...

Quite simply, is it possible for the player to make an ai faction a protectorate? (without Forced Diplomacy which I don't use) I've played countless hrs and most factions, but never ever achieved it, whatever the circumstances.. Am I missing something? (if so then please tell );)

What would be the most accurate composition of the roman army at the beginning of the game? And also, after the reforms?

I tried searching and couldn't find but I'm sure it's been asked before. Sorry is this seems silly but If I download this mod can I still play the original version or does it wipe it out completely. Thanks in advance. :D

Well, after recieving some sound advice regarding what had gone wrong with my EB installation, I finally got the game working, but now I seem to have run into a new problem... I started a new campaign as Makedonia and conqured Sparte, only to discover that by repairing the pre-existing Type 1...

Well, I'm playing a campaign with the Makedones, and as I start to build those very productive farms all around Greece, those things pop up in the building menu, I never used them as the "reduce in income" sounded quite intimidating to me, but they seem to have some kind of bonus to trade. Can...

After the Polybian(sp) Reforms will i still be able to keep my old units from the Camillian Era? Do regional Troops you can train change? Thanks in Advance!

Hi The year is 182BC and I am getting ready for a Marian reform. I read that one of the conditions for the reform is to build 6 latifundias. I am not however sure what are those called in the game? Are they those 'grants of land' that you can construct (I think they are shown as a piece of...

To be more specific should i aid Koinon Hellenon? They are having their back-sides kicked by the Makedonian Black Army of Doom!!! :D Sparte is Under Siege by the Makedonians and it's fall seems inevitable, the Spartan King has fled(its funny to see Spartans flee ehe) to Crete and if Sparte falls...

In short, how do you activate them without cheating?

Anyone tried EB on windows 7? Any issues?

I avoided to play with HUGE units for 2 reasons: 1. My PC would slow down as is rather old 2. I was afraid that the AI cities will lose too much population by trying to raise more units. That would mean that my strategy of relying on mercenary troops would give me a huge (and therefore unfair)...
