After tweaking the Pahlva Shivatir's recruitment cost to 400 I have found my military composition much more realistic with field armies almost entirely Horse Archers. Whatever you did the AI seems to be much more serious about its alliances with treachery happening very rare to me. Currently I have been in a back and forth stalemate war with the Seleucids with my half stack Horse Archer army constantly racing around to deal with the stack after stack of nearly 85% phalanx troops. Currently It ussually takes me two encounters to defeat a single stack. First strike is to kill enemy archers/slingers and cavalry then if any arrows are left pound the weakest infantry first. Cookie and Milk to whoever did the traits :2thumbsup: . I love the diffrent ethnicities although I have not seen more than 3 (Zand,Daha and The Royal Family One). Currently in order to become a field general in my army it is necesary to have the trait "Lives On The Move" which is my favorite trait. After looking through the traits file on the EB website I am in desperate need of some Persians because by the time my Family Members are good govenors there 65 and dieing. I also can't figure out why the settlement southeast of the starting one can only build a level 3 government but thats a minor issue anyways. I also am wondering if the cataphracts in custom battle are in the game yet because I can only seem to recruit the "Dehbed Ash... sorry I can't remember the last part :sweatdrop: ). The change from vanilla to this is rediculous. Which one is the free product and which one did I pay for The actual gameplay is great with firing into a phalanx as effective as throwing stones at a tank but him them in the back and they fall like flies :laugh4: what? :sweatdrop: . The human economy is great during peaceful times I can focus on improving my cities and disbanding my not necesary troops during times of war $0 go to cities it all goes to recruiting and mercs. The great part is after long periods of war the cities grow and start to get unhappy and you wish for the good old peaceful days again so you can get the public order under control again. Great Job and I can't wait till the next patch comes :bounce:
