Victory Condtions

[retep219]

I have noticed a large disparity between a Faction Leader's "Victory Conditions" trait and the map displayed if you click on your faction's symbol. As Pahlava, for example, my Faction Leader wants me to control Pergamon, Halikarnascos, and Mytilene. On the other hand, the map shows my farthest western province to be Ipsos! So, in order to achieve victory, which set of conditions is correct?

[Ignopotens]

I'm pretty sure the map shows the correct objectives.

[Celtic_Punk]

I think its the other way round... harder to update a map than traits

[johnhughthom]

I'm pretty sure CPs right as I seem to remember one of the team posting the traits were the one to follow.

[Celtic_Punk]

ooooooo im right!

[LordCurlyton]

Click the "?" in the faction objectives scroll and it will tell you what you need to conquer and/or raid. From my experience it tends to agree with the trait. Plus you get nice blinking squares to highlight your needed turf.

[Celtic_Punk]

yeah you get those too when you use force diplomacy.

Hmmm as sweboz, I've fulfilled the VC in 211BC and nothing happens...

Is your script on?

[Onehandstan]

Why follow VCs anyway? Just take it all!

[ziegenpeter]

Yep, my script is on, and I'm pretty shure, I rarely ended a turn without the script.

@Onehandstan: I'd like to know whats going to happen!

[johnhughthom]

You get a nice picture, a few words on how great and mighty your empire is and asked if you want to continue.

The map for Pahlavân VC is outdated and incorrect. They are supposed to model themselves accordingly to Achaemenids, not wander around in the Sarmatian steppes. We have had no opportunity to update the maps. Please refer to the VC-traits for the correct and the most up-to-date data.

[penguinking]

Are any of the other maps outdated?

This is the most accurate way to check victory conditions. That's how we verified that they were working correctly.

Are any of the other maps outdated?

Most of the maps are probably wrong to some extent.

[theoldbelgian]

the map for karthadast homeland regions is also very very wrong

[Celtic_Punk]

yes this has been said. the maps are outdated. And I doubt they'll be updated by the team with all work going on EBII now.

see the traits for accurate VC

[retep219]

Thank you for all the replies....looks like I have a lot of work to do.

"Strangles EB team member who said I have to conquer all of Persia, Anatolia, the Steppes, India, all the Caucasus, Gerrhaia Arabia, Phonecia, Judea, and more...."

And all the Aedui need is Gaul.

[theoldbelgian]

hey there is no need to react that way, the map is just outdated in an earlier version of eb this was the case and the team never found the time (due to more important things) to correct it

Hey, playing the Pahlavân demands balls. Don't hate the game, hate the player. I was going to add Egypt too before I was stopped

[theoldbelgian]

mmh in the old rtw spirit you should have them take rome too :D

You can easily define your own victory conditions in your head. Just play to accomplish whatever you feel like, and quit when you've got there.

that's just...scary. Completing VC's in your head. OMG! I hear the voices! They tell me to conquer Ipsos! But my army is to scattered!

[satalexton]

no, my evil clone tells me to send a baktrian army to sack rome for fun.

[miotas]

on my map there are all the regions i have to take in red but then there are some in black aswell. what are they?

[johnhughthom]

They are regions you need to raid ie conquer but not necessarily keep hold of. In other words just hold them for one turn.

ah thanks
so i just enslave the men do the underpants charleston with the women and then leave with everything not bolted down.

[bovi]

You forgot the "burn everything bolted down" part.

[Onehandstan]

You forgot the "burn everything bolted down" part.

Nothing is too bolted down not to be taken, burning only comes when you're bored

That is a great quote.
