Minor anomalies and nuisance

[beatoangelico]

maybe a vanilla bug: a unreported sea disaster has affected ALL my ship regardless of where they were, and after that the movement points of all ships seems to be reduced at about 50%

[Tellos Athenaios]

Not a bug. It's how the disaster works: a disaster strikes a province/region as a whole, not a particular area within it. Therefore everything inside the region suffers, with forces in settlements suffering less than forces outside.

Since the Sea is an ordinary region regarding disasters, all standing armies (aka fleets) suffer from disasters. Not just yours: the pirates, the other AI's as well.

Sounds like the vanilla flood bug.
Tellos was faster.

I found another region with the wrong trees. It's region 90 Volcallra, position 60,143.

Well, what I suggest is not a bug, but rather a "nuisance" that IMHO should be fixed.
I found that Carthaginian city Lilybaeo (Lilybaion, Lilybaeum) in Sicily has at the start jus a wooden wall (or even a palisade only?) - which for me is wrong. Lilybaeo was at the time one of the strongest fortresses and for example Pyrrhos was unable to capture it while conquering the rest of Carthaginian Sicily, as well as the Romans had to besiege the fortress for long time before they finally got it - and AFAIK they got the fortress with the whole Sicily in peace treaty, not as a result of succesful siege or assault...
Lilybaeo represents a whole bunch of Carthaginian cities there, including Agrigento, which was also nice fstronghold and war harbor... so I suggest to make Lilybaeo stronger by adding it stone walls - that would make it harder to be captured.

EDIT: question moved from another thread:

BTW: why there are no higher levels of smiths? (i.e. Armourer and Foundry). I personally like very much these silver and gold weapons... :D and I added that to my own EB, yet having them very expensive and not so very available (Armourer 12800, counstruction 12 turns; Foundry some 24000, construction another 16 turns, requires Curia and Paved roads), and also made description for export_buildings (so far only in Polish, yet I can translate it into English if someone would be interested :D )
Also I wasn't sure whether the Epic stone walls are available to be constructed - yet judging from the roster, they aren't, so I also made them available => I personally like very much these enormous constructions that my brave soldiers would storm with no mercy for defenders...

Contaminatie is the Dutch name of a particular figure of speech. The one which is about confusing two expressions and mixing them together to a new but wrong version.

I'm quite sure the english word is "contamination"
But then you still have to know what that certain figure of speech exactly means.

(De vertaling van bv. de stijlfiguur Zeugma zou al wat moeilijker liggen...)

While contamination might be a more literal translation of "contaminatie," I believe that a better English translation of the meaning would be "Irish bull".

[Mediolanicus]

Irish Bull? Well... that's a prosaic name.

But looking at the examples in a wikipedia article about irish bull, I think you are indeed spot on!

Two problems to report:

1. My admiral's stars don't show up during a battle. I'm not sure if they count in the battle or not. Maybe they don't appear but are taken into acount by the AI. (i doubt it matters but the campaign is with Epeiros)
2. If I kill all the family members of a faction that has more than one province on the battle map the game crashes when loading the campaign map. It is not a real problem since I solved it just by letting the AI fight the battle.

Some Qarthadastim issues:

1. Balearic Light Infantry doesn't have a Phoenician name.

2. Balearic Slingers don't have a Phoenician name.

3. The Carthaginian Lvl 3 Government, "New Colony", doesn't have a Phoenician name.

4. The building "Ocheteia Haple (Simple Drainage)" has obviously no Phoenician name.

5. All the barracks iirc don't have a Phoenician name.

6. The Lvl 5 Temple to Baal-Hammon iirc (the one in Kart-Hadast itself) doesn't have an English name.

7. The Lvl 1 and Lvl 2 School have both the same Phoenician name, "Beit Seper Katan" I think, although the English description says "Small" and "Middle" Academy.

2. Balearic Slingers don't have a Phoenician name.

Nor do they a Lusotannan.

I found out that with a Lvl 3 regional barracks I could recruit Equites Romani in Arretium (and Roma too iirc) as Qarthadastim. Is that intended? These Riders were made up from the Roman nobility, I don't think they would go to war in service of an occupying faction!? And they have been executed by mighty Hiempsal, I might add.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Meh, the Romans weren't really that careful about whom they served as long as they got their money. In any case the unit (along with a few others) is there to close a recruitment hole; you will for instance notice the fact that between Capua and Segesta there is hardly anything else to find...

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I have thought these were almost Senatores? Pillars of the Republic? I will restrict myself though...

[Tellos Athenaios]

Yes, the ordo equester.

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I knew that I knew it.

[Mediolanicus]

I had a screenshot ready, but I accidentially deteled it...

In my Macedon campain a client ruler just received the retinue "Priest of Ares" (in Greek), but the description is talking about Asklepios...

[beatoangelico]

as the Recruitement Viewer shows, any non celtic faction can recruit Gaeroas (Celtic Spearmen), but not Gaelaiche (Celtic Spearmen...again). On the other hand celtic faction can recruit Gaelaiche but not Gaeroas. This creates odd situations where, for example, as Roman you can recruit loads of good quality spearmen in northern Italy, Massalia and even much of central europe and southern britain, but not in transalpine gaul itself, and this could be a big problems; and as Aedui you are limited to levy spearmen in Mediolanum. Is this intended for reasons unknown to me or a bug?

I guess they don't just represent Roman nobility, but also the nobility of other Latin cities. Also, although the Romans were in general very nationalistic, I think the nationalism would get somewhat less after Rome was comprehensively defeated and subjugated by a foreign power. After a decade of your rule, the less staunch members of the nobility would probably be willing to serve under you if that provided a way for them to get ahead.

Might just be my graphics card but I got two non sensical polygons for the image of a broken barbarian stone wall gateway

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Almost forgot the following:

- the lvl 2 industrial agriculture for Carthage has no appropiate big description image, but a vanilla barrack's instead

- same goes for great medical academy (lvl 2)

- the lvl 3 industrial agriculture (Carthage) has the same big description image as the kleroi. I don't know if it's intended though.

- Epilektoi Hoplitai I think have a vanilla peasant unit card if they are Eleutheroi
