Starting work on the Aedui market descriptions - Brennus

Aedui market descriptions finished. This means all market descriptions for all 5 Celtic factions is now complete - Brennus

Those market descriptions seem to be very popular as of late.

The Europa Barbarorum II team can't make up their mind for our new Lugiones unit. You decide for us: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...our-opinion%21

Right here on these forums!

Writing market descriptions and filling in the gaps for the Hellenic factions - Antiokhos II Theos

As I said...

Writing the Industry Complex descriptions for the Celtic factions. First up the Aedui - Brennus

Nice, Industry!

Working on the late version of the Aswiniai Lugiones cavalry; previously previewed the early version on the forum - nazgool

This shows how much work is put into every single unit in EB. Hats off to the team.

Aedui Industry Complex description complete. Now to start the Arverni - Brennus

Working out the Seleukid government options with paullus and abou - Haithabas

These should be quite interesting. I wonder if there is even more depth than in EB 1.

Arverni Industrial Complex descriptions completed. Commencing work on the Pritanoi - Brennus

Pritanoi Industry Complex descriptions completed. Next on the list is the Boii - Brennus

This Brennus guy, keeping up the good work but not sending me a promised article on iron age slavery...

Working on the Dynastic Administration Script for the Hellenic factions. Difficult, but we will get there eventually - Haithabas

This is great news! I'm really looking forward to seeing this implemented. I bet it's wonderful.

Boii farm descriptions complete. Every Celtic farm, trader and temple description now finished. - Brennus

Just saw the page on the R2:TW Seleukid faction. What happened to the rest of the empire? - abou

Split up into different satrapies I guess. I think it does make some elements of a Seleucid campaign more interesting and makes sure there are potentially many civil wars in store for them except from the (flawed) civil war mechanic itself. But making satrapies different factions doesn't really make that much sense.

great updates!

Sorry Ailfertes I completely forgot about this.I don't have a copy of the article at the moment, but I should have access to my university's library resources in the next few weeks so I will attempt to find a copy for you.

Yes, the other Provinces are split up into Satrapies (client states), which is fine, I guess, since most of them were quite autonomous.
Seleucid is not a playable faction, though. At least not right now. Maybe it will be unlocked in another 5$-DLC... man I'm so happy I didn't buy Rome2.

It's going to be released as free DLC. The issue is that the autonomy of these satrapies were not absolute. What's more, the Seleucid starting position is more in tune with the Seleukid state at the end of the 2nd century. Many of the major Seleukid centers of power at game start were Ekbatana, Sardis, the cities of Syria, and their capital Seleukeia-Tigris.

What am I supposed to think when their freaking capital isn't even included in their starting position?

Dynasty Administrations Script for the Hellenic factions is finally working - Haithabas

Did you manage to finish the KH Sympoliteia system that me and Foot were working on? The idea was awesome, but our implementation was proving out to be completely unintuitive from the player point-of-view.

**abou** · 10-06-2013, 23:17

You could always come back and help.

No exactly the in the same way, but we try our best and the first part is already done! Want to see it?

And BTW the Dynasty Admin is a part of the Successor system.
