Idea for Alexander Campaign

[vpapako]

How about adding a short Alexander Campaign?

Nope

How about adding a short Alexander Campaign?

you mean like a campaign for ALEX.exe or a campaign for Alexander the Great in EB2? Either way, you haven't been here long, have you? EB is set several years after Alex's death.

A large amount of completely unneccessary work. Spendios worded my opinion quite well.

[vpapako]

No, I Havent been here long, I' m fresh new, but I know history. Alexander died in 323 B.C. Rome total war and most mods begin at 271 B.C. I meant a short tutorial-like campaign like the original M2TW tutorial campaign with army movement, battle and siege training with Alexander, so RTW players could experience how the world was shaped into what they see in 271 B.C. And I don't think it's such a lame idea anyway.

No, the Alexander battle should be the prologue campaign... As the Normans in M2TW... How about let get Alexandros himself teach every new players the basic game guide... (He dies in the end of campaign though...)

Should be an interesting opening...

a) RTW already had an Alexander campaign
b) As a tutorial, an Alexander campaign would be too simple [1] and too poignant[2].

An appealing idea for some, perhaps, but our Gaza campaign will leave little to be desired.

[1] All you would really learn is the hammer & anvil.
[2] Tutorials should be as transparent, direct and broadly pertinent as possible, not rich with the personal mystique of one of the world's greatest generals.

And yes, RTW already had an alexander campaign, I'm not saying to reproduce that campaign, I'm proposing a small tutorial campaign. And I have faith that the EB2 team, with the M2TW engine can give us an Alexander we would really love.

An Alexander tutorial would require new units specific to the tutorial. And then you really have to ask yoursef - what's the point?

[Gatalos de Sauromatae]

That would be really cool to meet Alexander made by EB team.

[Cute Wolf]

We can take the viewpoint of Alexander, having lectured on how to wage a great campaign, by Aristoteles, or his Father, Philip...

Anyway, this should be an easy version of the backbreaking RTW: Alexander... coz this is proloque

How about this, then. They've already made a tutorial campaign for EBII.

waiting for foot yelling....



FOOT!
FOOT!
FOOT!
FOOT!

[a completely inoffensive name]

I don't get it, why would Foot be chanting his own name?

[Megas Methuselah]

He probably has an alter dedicated to Foot in his room or something...

This should be repeated, as people don't want to hear this or something. There already is an awesome tutorial campaign for EB!!! Forget Alexander.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I believe that Foot has taken a break from the public forums for a while...

As for the idea of an Alexandros campaign, see the official EB team answer in the second post.

Not only would it be a ton of work and require huge amounts of scripting to keep the AI from wandering off, but it would require the complete creation of a whole new faction. A complete roster of Achaemenid Persian units would have to be completely created.
