History lessons and Catapults

[whiteD2]

Hi all

This is my first post in the forum and I most say I am really enjoying EB!

Currently playing a Romani campaign and expanding my way slowly towards the east and just starting to make some progress into Gaul.

Just a couple of questions if there are any kind souls out there to help? (Forgive me if these have been asked before.....)

1. I have been enjoying the year in history messages but now they have seemed to stop pretty much mid flow in the 2nd punic war timeframe? Is this normal or has something gone wrong?

2. Do the Romans get siege weapons, noticed the Greeks have used some kind of ballistae type device against me....but not seen anything for my folks as yet


Well done to the EB team for creating such a magnificent mod, certainly the best Ive ever played for TW:2thumbsup:

Romans are supposed to build siege engines from regional MIC in some Greek cities (Syrakousai etc.). After Marian reforms, they can build it from factional MIC as well.

i'm no expert, but....
1) i'd guess maybe if you quit and reloaded the game, and forgot to run the script, that might happen....? it happened to me once. game continued fine...just no little notice every summer.

2) what was said previously!

The "year in history" feature is only for a given period. We haven't completed the rest of them.

Thanks for the replies and the explanation, glad to hear my campaign isn't messed up:laugh4:

So you only get Siege weapons post Marian reforms then?

Build a level 4 goverment and a level 5 regional barracks in Syrakousai for catapults. (I think:book: )

To run the script do you just click 'show me how' or is there something else I need to know before I start a campaign?

[Strategos Alexandros]

No, nothing else.
