Hax's Great Faction Swaps

[Havok.]

About the Casse reforms, can the Belgae still get them? have you changed the requirements or anything?

Nope.

Also, the link should work fine. I just checked it.

[phoenixemperor]

Huh. So it does.

[anubis88]

wow awesome hax!

Always wanted to play as the belgae.
Did you reconsider changing their bodyguards to the belgae heavy cavalry?

Haven't come to it yet, but I have a week free from school now, so I'll look into it!

Double posting is when a user posts twice without somebody posting inbetween. This is retentive and pretty much useless as there is an edit function.

but now to the real question with boshoris sorry bout spelling if you take sparte will u get spartans cause i just love them but i didnt read the whole thread so dont know if its been asked

Actually, this is something that I still have to edit, but historically the Bosphorean Kingdom had no special relations with the Spartans and did not employ Spartan hoplites.

ok thanx if yah dont no big deal as long as its historical

[delablake]

Sounds like something I'd give a try...

First post updated!

Pergamon 0.71 for EB1.2!

[Cyrus]

What does 0.71 mean?

[Hax]

That it's version 0.71. I'm not really done yet, there'll be more updates in the future.

[Shadowwalker]

Hello Hax,

thanks a lot for your effort.
Tested Pergamon 0.71 for 2 turns, seems to work without problems.
There are only 2 minor things to mention:
(1) In the faction selection screen I still get the Epeiros symbol.
(2) The Faction leader isn't mentioned as 'FL' in campaign screen - it's unit card says 'Somato... Strategou'. The family tree is correct. :)

Anyway, I appreciate this faction swap very much.
Maybe I'm finally starting a greek faction (although I'm not a big fan of greeks ).

1) I haven't come to that yet, especially since my graphic skills (or lack thereof) are poor

2) I changed Epiros' bodyguard to Somatophylakes Strategou. However, when you select him on the campaign it should say "Pergamian Faction Leader". Can you take a screenshot of what you see?

[Shadowwalker]

Ahem... Hax, forget what I said.
Can't confirm point 2.
The Faction Leader is displayed and named correctly in the campaign.

[Hax]

Hehe, no problem.

Is everything else working okay?

[Shadowwalker]

Not really, but I assume thats due to the other mods that were installed and not due to Pergamon. (Had installed EB for BI, EB minimod pack, force diplomacy etc).

Will uninstall and retry as soon as I have more time. (Have the honour and pleasure to be in betatestteam for PI for M2TW so I can't play EB all the time.)

Hi Hax,

thanks for pergamon update, I played until 270 and it seems to work fine.

- diplomat and spy, assassin are still in green
- campaign map flag have the Epirus symbol
- From the begening, Pergamon is at war with Rome, Carthage...need to check historical alliance with selucide or ptoleme, makedon, greek cities, pontus...
- maybe u should delete the blacksmith already avaible from the start in Pergam ???

1, 2) This is known, and I'm really bad at skinning, so I don't know whether this can be changed unless I get some help. I'm going to try to change the skins this weekend.

3) This will be fixed in a coming update, hopefully the first.

4) I really don't know why the EB team included it in the first place, but I think they had a good reason, and if someone can give another than game balancing, I probably won't remove it.

I will put in some sewers in Pergamon, though.

Alright, no problem; you can play whenever you like.

[Charles the hammer]

Did you change recruitment for these factions. and if you did how would i change the faction from casse for the belgae with saba

[Hax]

Changing unit recruitment is a very long and tedious task which can meet with LOTS of problems, that's one of the reasons why I chose factions that have the same culture (and thus, mostly units) to switch.

[Charles the hammer]

ya i would do it but the recruitment is really complicated in eb and i would have no idea how to do it

[Ghaust the Moor]

Does the Bosphoras (spelling?) kingdom work? It says outdated??

[Hax]

Doesn't work yet, I'm afraid.

[Gaius Sempronius Gracchus]

Greetings, young padawans!

Today, Strategos Hax will inform you of his newest project. He calls it:

The Great Faction swap

This is how it will go. Some factions will be swapped around with others. The current ideas are:

Koinon Hellenon - Basileion tes Bosphorou (the Kingdom of the Bosphorus)

Epeiros/Baktria - Pergamon

Saba'en - Meroë / Numidia

Arverni/Aedui - Thraikia

Arverni/Aedui - Galatia

Casse - Belgae

Koinon Hellenon - Massalia

Koinon Hellenon - Syrakousai

Of course, Strategos Hax would be most pleased if anyone of you would give their ideas. At the moment, I'm getting tired of using the third person, so I'm busy with the Kingdom of Bosphoros. However, I'm not sure whether to give them mounted bodyguards (and even then, classic Hellenic bodyguards or steppe noble cavalry) or dismounted bodyguards (taking the classical Somatophylakes Strategou).

Till we meet again, friends

Hi, I know this is well old, but these files aren't available anymore. Does anyone know where I might find them. I'm interested to know what files are changed etc., what I wish to do is transform the Casse into Pergamon. Sacrilege, I know, but I just find the Casse play no part in any campaign, they just seem like a waste of a slot, and ...though I have no problem per sé with the Belgae I think they are better represented by Eleutheroi, and Pergamon played a pretty vital role in the Greek/Anatolian sphere.

Cheers.

Casse make a good Galatia.
