In VH battle mode, the AI get +7 to the stats. Is VH +stats hardcoded? If they are, VH battle mode will be fundamentally changed along with experience bonus. If not, is EB team planning to change the AI combat bonus as well?Quote:

Anyway, before the shouting and the screaming starts, here is the deal.
Use the Card Backs first!
Why?
Well, they have the proper unit names (and are also sorted by culture). Then when you find your favourite unit, note the 3 digit number at the end of the name. That is the EDU unit ID. The card fronts are listed by that number only. (There is a very sexy reason for me doing that, but I cannot reveal that at this stage or the :smash: and :whip: will start again!).
Alternatively you can just browse the Card Fronts and see what you get ~;)
Enjoy,

Question: What does the P, E, N and R on nomadic factions' units mean? What sort of reforms are they referring to, if any?
There should be a readme.jpg in the folder.Quote:

hmm, there are too many jpg files in there. *boggle* probably missed it. But thanks anyway!
Wouldn't it be better to have the card fronts split into folders like the card backs are? I bet everyone will be splitting them into folders anyway, since there are so damn many.
No because of something we haven't previewed yet.
To find the Readme JPG file; scroll down to the bottom of the folder. There you will find it. ~;)
You're still teasing us, even after 1.0 is released. :no:Quote:

It's just a hassle to have to split them into folders manually. Because the way they are right when you install they are impossible to use (you'll have to dig for a loooong time to find that one unit you wanted info about).Quote:

Erm, Arka, are you sure that the card back of the Keltohellenikoi Hoplitai is right? It says that you can recruit them in South greece while you are playing any of the factions that are capable to build them. I really doubt that the Seleucids would have been able to recruit Celtic units in Athens...
Edit: Or does it have something to do with the fact that some of the faction signs on the card-backs are greyed out?
The card for hypaspistai (157) says they are recruitable only by Makedon and AS, but people are telling me that Epeiros now get them too.
Likewise, the card for pheraspidai (171) says they are recruitable only by Makedon, AS and Baktria, but Epeiros should also be getting them now.
Wow. Good job. I was kinda disappointed at some units tough. Anyone felt that way? I mean it appears to have some incoherences in some units (for instance units with similar load outs have diferent armor values or units better equiped having less armor than others less equiped) HAs anyone felt that way?
Cheers...
Yeah, I've noticed some inconsistencies
Pontus Elite Infantry have less attack and defence than Hellenic Spear Men despite the Elites being the next level up of the unit, plus the elites are cheaper despite being at the edge of the build tree.
They have little morale for an elite, 12 I think. 1 less than petzetariroiQuote:

You haven't quite read what Arkatreides wrote about the reasoning why. Ok. Let me guide you then once more:Quote:

Simple, innit?
Then again: they are called Thorakitai. While this may be an elite infantry unit for Pontos; most of the Hellenic factions would call it plain heavy infantry. Oh, and I must say those guys are still quite lethal: a rate of 0.1 means you'd rather not have those guys crashing into your flanks.Quote:

My computer blew up the day EB1.0 was released (now isn't THAT irony) so I cannot really answer those queries. I am pretty sure the Keltohellenikoi are correct though. They have two recruitment regions, one for Celts and one for the Hellenes. Only in the Green regions do those overlap.
And, Arka, how's your computer doing now? Because there are some unit cards missing, for instance the Mada Asabara or Thraikioi Prodromoi. But no need to hurry:yes:
Arkatreides, I just want to say again what a wonderful resource your cards are! I'm about to start a 1.0 Romani campaign and am starting off by printing all your Roman cards. :2thumbsup:
Econ21, how exactly do you print them? I ask this because I can't imagine how one is not ofrced to waste a whole paper on one card, so perhaps you could help me.
The cards are really nice, thx for them!
I followed the example in the first post and put 9 of them together in one A4 landscape size jpg. To do this, I just used Paint to cut and paste one onto another (setting the attributes to 37cm and 27cm).Quote:

Here they are:

At some stage, I may do other factions, but if someone playing those factions wants to upload 3x3 jpgs of them, that would be cool.
Econ21, awesome work you did there. It is definately saving a lot of trouble and work for others:yes: It would be very cool if you also do this for the other factions, but I'm demanding too much from someone who already did a lot of work voluntarily:2thumbsup:
Awesome cards, Arkatreides! I think I found a small typo, though. For the Equites Thracum, there's an unnecessary comma after "both". It's the last line of the description.
I bought a new computer and will check out the errors etc. in the next few days. Just give me some time to install all my software.
The Roman vigiles are marked as Marian era only. According to MarcusAureliusAntoninus, they should be available in the Imperial era too. EDU number 253 btw.Quote:

Hi guys ... Are there any rules in plan for the cards to use them as playing cards like magic the gathering?
