    Default Custom Battle question

    Am I doing something wrong or why are there no chariots or elephants in the set-up for Custom Battle. Arche Seleukeia has neither - even though they get em in campaigns - and Ptolemaitoi has elephants but no chariots??? Btw, this is my first time trying custom battle ;)

    Btw, has anybody ever made a Historical Battle out of the Battle Of Pydna - though I like many battles more, that one has to be THE battle that I'd like to try and play myself, and see if I can save Makedonia. Battle of Magnesia between Rome and Antiochus III comes a close second ;)
    Moreover, I advise that Syracusans must be added to EB (insp. by Cato the Elder )

    Is looking forward to the 2090's, when EB 20.0 will be released - spanning the entire Eurasian continent and having no Eleutheroi - with a faction for every independent state instead. Look out for the Gedrosians, the Cretans and the kingdom of Kallatis!

    All I want is just to try a few Custom Battle, since I'm usually to greedy to bother spending excessive amounts of money on building Elephants in the actual game, since I can trash my opponents without em. Im not gonna play a lot of Custom Battle, I just wanna try out a battle where I don't have any economic strain or any greater strategic goal... But is there any REASON why there are no elephants or chariots for Seleukeia, Baktria, Epeiros...????

    Hmmm.... Didn't seem to alter the fact, that only Ptolematoi, Rome and Carthage (so far) has elephants. Nobody has chariots, and Seleucids, Parthians, Epirotes etc. have not a shadow of an elephant...

    to get an adequate troop selection in a costom battle you have to start the game with the Multiplayer exe. the singleplayer version is for th campaign only.

    but next time: read the FAQ :P
