Europa Barbarorum FAQ

[Ca Putt]

You're pretty much on the right track, Seleucids and Bactrians have acess to the real caravan upgrade in provinces without a coastal clearing(i think this extends to Harbors aswell) and no lvl 1 or 2 government. According to the building tree level 3 and 4 are both suitable for it.
Nomads can upgrade their Caravans all the way, whereas the last level is incompatible with Pastoralism, Same also goes for Saba, just that they can't actually build pastoralism :D

Have a look t the trees here: https://www.europabarbarorum.com/downloads_guides.html

Hi guys,

Downloaded the EB mod yesterday and loved it so far. I'm a big historical fan and I also loved some of the gameplay changes like the traits.
Although I loved it it's still very much new info and such to get used to. For example the new buildings and the way cities develop is very hard to understand for me. I've offcourse taken a look at the building file of the factions I tried out but I didn't succeed in understanding it. I also find it very hard to find specific extra helpfull info on the forum or the EB site. So I was wondering of some of you could help me out a bit with maybe sharing some links to usefull info pages, threads, guides etc. For example isn't there a beginners guide for EB for newbies like me to easily get in touch with the most basic and important things I need to know?
Hope I'm not bothering you to much, I've read the FAQ and offcourse clicked the help links mentioned there.
Maybe some of you have some tips on the best ways to get familair to the EB universe :p?

Greetings,

A very happy and gratefull gamer :)

PS: My apologies for grammatical errors since English is not my native language and it's a bit late ;)

Have a look at some of these (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?103424-Europa-Barbarorum-Gameplay-Guides-10) and these (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?127079-List-of-Tactical-Advice). There are probably still more guides, done by other fans, somewhere in the guides section too...

My first attempt at EB, I am playing as Carthage and just took my first settlement, Syracuse. Moment of decision, should I build a type 3 government, or type 4? Suggestions?

[The Stranger]

IV and get a general to control it till it dies, make sure to get the regional barracks during that time, then build the highest tier available.

[Infidel144]

Thanks, The Stranger.

I added 9 land bridges to help AI. But, in my tests ( I choose Casse and end turns fast) AI seems messed up. They expand very slowly because some of AI armies just wait at certain areas and don't move. Can you tell me what is the problem?

These are land bridges that I added (pink circles):

maybe try it combined with the real movement mod, that should speed things up and show u if they will use the routes.

Why are many Parthians units white and blonde? Should be the Parthians not be dark skinned?

Why are many Parthians units white and blonde? Should be the Parthians not be dark skinned?

The Parthian nobility, when it broke away from the Arche Seleukia (shortly after EBs start date), would have been predominantly composed of Steppe peoples. As a result they would have looked very similar to the Indo-European peoples who still inhabit that region today. Over time they intermarried with the Persian elite, resulting in increasingly Iranian characteristics such as darker skin. A similar process can be observed in the Middle Ages with the Mongols who formed the ruling class of the Ilkhanate. Rank and file troops would have been indigenous Iranians, and as such would have had darker skin, but with those beautiful Iranian eyes.

Hippo Regius (Hippone) is the ancient name of the modern city of Annaba, in Algeria.
Is Ippone an alternative name of Hippo Regius?

If so, why is its position wrong?

Is there a way to put EB on the Steam version of Rome that I have installed? Or does it only go on the CD version?

Even if you have something other than Windows 10, the last part of the post should help.

[Vincent Butler]

Thanks. I am running Windows 10, in fact the reason I went to Steam was because the CDs no longer worked.

Hi, currently having an issue with the mod.

Every time I got into battle with two armies, the one i initiated it with is in the map to begin with, but the other one just stands by the border of the map with the status 'waiting to enter battle'. The odd thing is that the enemy reinforcements do properly enter the battlefield, so it's not a hardware bug and im vastly outnumbered.

I have tried the large address aware fix, running as admin, changing the 'unlimited armies in battlefield' to 1 instead of 0. I did try and move my folder outside of program files, however in following the steps provided to do so the option doesn't come up to move my directory out of the program files with the 'move install folder' button. Maybe steam have stopped you from being able to do that?

Loving the mod apart from that though, but really need to sort this issue out
