Maybe by holding certain cities, you can redirect the big trade routes somehow? (like the shift of the amber route from going to the black sea to going for the adriatic because of the rising roman demand)

So the final number is 16 or 22? Not sure how that helps exactly... I said- "if control of a certain number of these places along a trade route gave extra "monopoly" bonus." Not sure how much is capable in MTW2 engine as lately been a couple times surprised what mods were able to accomplish by thinking about something differently.
It might be possible to make the resources such that control of some regions produced much more income if a certain region next to it was also controlled or trade pacts were established so that control of a trade route in the middle of a war doesn't produce much income but when at peace the trade income is much higher? Eh... sounds like it should be simpler than that.
How the hack do the numbers help? :help:
Maybe there is going to be a uniqe building for the 16-22 cityies?(How is this spelled?)
And the Syrakousai have a unfair advantage... It's first in line...
Muwahaha! Ichon said the magic words again! Should I give it to him for accidental guessing? Even though he likely doesn't even know what it is? Hmm. . .
The magic word is monopoly?
I think you are right. He makes ancient version of monopoly ;)
Probably monopoly as in the MTW:2 merchant agent feature Monopoly, i.e if your merchants control all the resources of a single type in a region then they get a monopoly bonus adding to their income-gain.

monopoly? seriously?
:D damn you better fasten up producing it if you want to win some mod of the year awards with that one yet
I thought the monopoly part was a joke :D... LOL... I guess it's true :laugh4: .
I'll gladly vote as well.
So I guess there's going to be an EB version of Monopoly released soon? I'm excited. :) Will it be a Flash game? Or a download? Ooh, ooh, will it be multiplayer???

So EBII will you allow to build hotels if you collected certain cities and wait for hostile FMs to walk in so you can charge them enormous fees? Economical warfare in a TW game? THAT would be new :clown:
Now, irony of:
Will it be like if you hold certain cities, you will be able to "create" a trade route or something which will boost trade?
My Others:
It's been awhile since I played EB1...a little over six months now...but I forgot the names of some cities I central focused on. These are the cities I was thinking of:
Sweboz capital
Cassi capital (londinium)
City with Ynus Mon wonder
my other-vote goes to eather cherasone, seleucia or ephesos
I have gathered all of the images I need! And here below is a sneak preview of the first 20 minutes of very rough work.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I have chosen 10 cities from the poll and I would add 9 "others": Sinope, Charax, Alexandria-Ariana, Gader, Ambrakia, Ekbatana, Susa, Byzantion, and one more on English Channel, but I have never played in this area, so I don t know which one is the most profitable one.
I would actually play that game Tanit, you could make some very interesting Chance cards.
'Your general is more interested with cheese than organising his troops, move back 2 spaces'
"you've come second in a gladiatorial competition, collect 200 sestertii."
O tempora, o mores
vos in sanatorum adire mitto!
My others: Pella, Ambrakia, Ipsos, Sinope and Seleukia
Pella is in the list ;)
My other: Seleukeia
Other?... I forget. But the Christmas comment turns me on. Keep it up, bro! :smile:Quote:

May I suggest Delos?
2 days left. Can I finish it on time? We shall see, we shall see . . .
Tanit when you post your project can you also post the url in a twitter update pretty please?
I get the EB twitter updates immediately sent to my mobile phone, so as soon as it's up I can excitedly check it :thumbsup:
When the 'Carthage preview out some time today' twitter was announced I checked the EB forum every 20mins waiting for it :wink:
Are we talking British/US or central European Christmas btw?
Cause I'd hate to wait till tomorrow morning ;)
Edit: or even until January for Russian-Orthodox Christmas:dizzy2:
I will be waking up crhistmas morning in approximately 9 hours, give or take a couple. And yes I will twitter it. Been a little rushed lately, tonight is going to be a long night working on this to make sure its done.
You live at the frozen north(pole), bring gifts for eb fans on Christmas day, if you were a fat man wearing red I would mistake you for Santa Claus :thumbsup:
