Europa Barbarorum II FAQ

**tls5669** · 07-01-2009, 02:28

Ok I have a few questions

1. Will the ships be remodeled? Another mod I play a lot is Roma Surrectum, (sorry if another mod is not allowed to be mentioned) it has neat looking ships.

2. Will weapons be upgradeable?

3. Will religions be expanded? i.e In RS the Greeks and Romans got to chose from like ten different temple types. Referring to the question above if the Romans built a temple dedicated to Vulcan, or the Greeks to Hephaestus then weapons could be upgraded. If a temple for Neptune or Poseidon was created then ships being built there would get command stars at creation.

3. Will there be merchants?

4. Will there be priests? And do they have to walk around converting providences?

1 Yes

2. No. Their bonuses completely disrupt any balancing

3. Temples won't give unrealistic bonuses. Temples and the representation of God will be handled unlike vanilla or any other mod.

4 & 5. No. Although we may use them for other purposes.

No, that is not possible given the limitations of the engine.

There is no evidence left of what a Yervandid symbol may have looked like. With regards to the Hayasdan faction symbol I'm tempted by a horse and sun motif. We know that horses were revered amongst the Caucasian people, and were heavily associated with Mithra, who became very important very early on (he is recorded as early as Xenophon's Anabasis in Armenia). Then of course there is Anahita, the mother of Armenia and revered highly amongst the trinity of gods. However, I am not sure of any symbol associated with her, and given the importance of horses, both in daily life and religious symbolism, I'm more tempted by the horse motif.

Isn't that everyone's gripe about the pikes in the unmodded game?

**fomalhaut** · 03-22-2011, 06:59

I read that the concept of the Syrakusan Hoplite as a unique unit was not exactly well supported? Even with that, will the Hoplites of Syrakuse still have a very unique skin at least? I think many would agree that they are one of the best looking units in the game, the bronze/blue color scheme with the shield design was very cool.

Double Post!

A proposal of Religions:
Roman Paganism
Druidism
Carthaginian Paganism
Greek Paganism
Zorastorianism
Hinduism?
Tengriism (Saka and Sauromatae only)
Bhuddism
Judaism (Only in Jewish regions)
I think that's it
