    Default Need Some Advice!

    Hi all

    Its been almost a year since i played EB again so i installed RTW and patched EB 1.2 just recently.

    Is there much difference with 1.1? is the suggested difficulty still M/M?

    Many thanks

    I think you need to patch RTW to 1.5 in order to play EB

    EDIT: ignore me, i misunderstood you...

    for starting out, M/M is fine. the optimum is often cited to be VH/M (very hard campaign, medium battles) but everyone has their own preference. Worth glancing an eye over the faction descriptions when you're picking a faction, as the EB have been so good as to note which factions they feel are harder/easier to play as (which also serves as a good indicator as to how quickly one might go into debt.)

    Main differences are: New puppet governor system. They are not longer spawned, rather you can recruit them once you build a lvl4 government somewhere. Also, there is the Punic voicemod and some other minor tweaks. Oh well, you can always check the EB1.2 thread for more info in case I missed something.

    Oh and please don't tell me you're a philoromaios!

    Maion and Satalexton, you can stop the argument, the only REAL barbaroi is here, as ME! haaaaaaaaaa, Romanoi, Hellenes... perfumes soaked wanna-be warriors!, descendent of alexander the great? bah, hiding behind 21 foot of sarrisas, Nomad? bunch of horse lovers adept of fleeing (and try to shoot an arrow from horseback while in the beautiful dark and deep forest of germania! Valion, listen to a true man, proud warrior and come to the Sweboz side!

    i do remember i once mention that the only true barbaroi in EB are the Romaioi, all other barbaroi are semi/slightlyy civillized in some way or another.
