yep been hardcore with pontus for the last year and a half and have played over 40 games as them (never to the end of the game though) and they are my FAVORITE faction besides the Saba who I am waiting to play again when they get more units and stuff. Pontus in my opinion is the most multicultured faction as of yet with Hellen, persian, kappodocian, galacian, thraik, skythian, I mean you cant beat that.
Right you are ... :beam:Quote:

The Tindanotae slaughtered everything!

Including the "Indian Longbowman". ~D
This morning I played a battle against AS, my 2 G.T. units slaughtered nearly 350 AS soldiers. (I play with "normal" unit sizes, and usually autofight larger battles; my comp is rather old :oops: ). But what a battle, boy!

hey treverer are you also playing Eb with Barbarian invasion because if not I highly recommend it. and also I have a question have you built the academy and if so I was wondering if you have gotten more anticilarys and retinue from it because I have had 4 family members there for like 3 years in the capital which has the academy and nobody has showed up in their retinue's yet I was just wondering if the same has happened to you. I dont think that it is a bug but I find it highly odd since It has not happend to me like that before. The only thing that I have done to Eb is that I am playing it with barbarian invasion and the little faction leader trait script and there are no other mods with my install of EB:dizzy2:
Not yet. I'll have to save & close my game first ...Quote:

Both the FL & his son, the Heir have "math" ancillaries. :inquisitive:Quote:

Well, I have a question for you too:
How do you get along in the first few years?
I remember my first game with Pontos, which was great, but which is unfortunately lost due to massive CTDs. In the first 2 or 3 turns I conquered Sinope and Nikaia, and in 2nd year, a Ptolemaic diplomat showed up, demanding peace. I agreed, but asked for Tarsos & Side. The AI agreed, and the AS declared war on me some turns later, but I had already Ami-Kanah & Byzantion ... and conquered a lot from AS, later from the Hay too.
I played Easy / Easy, as it was my first game with EB. I still play the battles on easy, as my comp is rather old and slow and most "big" battles get autofight while I play the smaller ones.
The actual game is on M/E, and I notice the difference from easy to medium. I installed the "City Mod", but stupid me forgot to delete the map.rwm and I had to cheat to avoid CTD (by giving me money to avoid a negative treasure). I can recommend this mod. Take a look at it.
Enough written,
Treverer
P.S. Does the FL script work?
P.P.S. Shouldn't we pm?
Both energy and intelligence matters. However, now that I checked this, I think there may be a bug here: If a character is sharp but lazy, he will never become better at mathematics, and conversely a dull but energetic one will never improve. So you need to be dull and lazy, or sharp and energetic to learn mathematics :inquisitive:. Apart from learning from ancillaries, that is.
