idea for eb2

I have an idea for eb2 , but it is probably at little hard, but it will make a new aspect in the game. and it will make it much more important to think strategic on the campaign map.

I think about having some small towns/places where people live in every/most regions. And they have levy troops and stuff garrisoned, with free upkeep while garrisoned. one or two units only.

And for invaders to get resupplied, they need to take these small towns. And you can put more garrison in there if you want. And they are just like forts, but no wall. no population or building things, but you can garrison troops there to defend them, becouse they give income to the city in the city in the region.

So they will make it much more advanced in the campaign map. becouse it is important to defend them, and it is importand for attackers to take them. but they cant just send one or two units there and take them becuse they have a free garrison of peasants or something.

I dont know really if this will work, but probaby something similar. and I just wanted to give you a little idea you maybe can work something out of, if you think it is good.

Well... As great as this may sound, something tells me it's impossible. Let's wait and see.

*waits for Foot to tell me that he isn't informed about this stuff*

hehe. just to get their thoughts someway in the direction

who knows. :P
scripts do everything :D:tongue:

It would be impossible to levy troops from anywhere but the main settlement in a province. As for everything else, we are already doing that. It has been discussed and mentioned several times before, already. Though we cannot make them wall-less as it is hardcoded that you need to have siege units to take forts. They won't be used to represent villages, but other major settlements in the province. The majority of provinces will have no more than one of these "minor settlements".

:elephant:

Interesting. Then, the PSF:s won't all be forts, but rather minor cities dispersed across the map.

Are you using M2TW Kingdoms for the permanent forts, then?

As the FAQ does say.

Foot

So, will an attacking general be able to get rid of his "rationing" traits if he captures one of these "minor settlements", as he can if he's in a regular settlement?

I think its too early to ask about THIS.

That's a good question. I'm not sure if we can detect that he's in a "permanent fort", but it's a good idea to improve the supply at least at the time when it is taken over.
