FORGET ABOUT THE CHINESE!!!11oneone
It wouldn't be balanced and the Map would concentrate too far on the east.
Plus the only contact between the Greeks and Indians and the Chinese was trade, and the silk road wonder illustrates that
What we need in EB2 is the extension to INDIA.
Baktria and Seleucia had lots of contact with the Mauryan Empire as mentioned earilier,
Plus the Himalayas would be a damned horrible thing to cross, and would be unrealistic.
alright.Good enough for me.Just though it would be a fun thing to make Chinese units avaible to fight.And for the Himalayas,I wouldn't even try that.If Hannibal had problems with the Alps,then it would be suicide to try the Himalayas.Quote:

But about the EB(1) map, will you make the major deserts uncontrollable and have you considered blocking the area east of Leptis Magna to prevent "the sand wars" between Carthage and Ptolemies?
Done for 0.8...Quote:

But under normal circumstances: it sort of would have been suicide to try such a thing. Another thought:
Steppe to the north.
Actually there are many new things in M2TW that could really help EB2.
If you do decide to increase the scale of the map (not size, scale, zooming in more) you can now mod the distance to capital penalty (aswell as Squalor!). Pretty useful.
Plus there is a new type of terrain, impassable desert. Appears as sand dunes on the campaign map.
A very good thing that was necessary in RTW. And yes, we are contemplating the possibility of a bigger scale map.Quote:

btw: hopefully I'm not biased towards the chinese :2thumbsup: , i love both civilization and spend a great deal of time researching on both...
ps: are there any chinese around these forums?? or am I lonely...:embarassed:
According to this thread: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...t=72463&page=2
Four EB fans/users at the Org are native chinese (of some sort) speakers, so I'd think you're not alone, although I guess it's still possible.
A game/mod *centred* on China and the far east would be great but stretching an RTW mod/game to include everything from the gauls to the chinese just means you lose all the interesting detail of the individual factions and they become generic blobs.
Argh! I want that so bad for my personal mod.Quote:

That's good, I found it ridiculous that you could pass through large, waterless deserts with thousands of men. EB definently has some realistic qualities that make the game a lot more fun to play.Quote:
