One thing that is so remarkable about EB are the very realistic and creative ancillaries that are uniquely doled out to FM's throughout the campaign. What new ancillaries would you like to see in EB II?

Humorous ones that are authentic.

Indeed we need more people being obsessed with cheeses

I think we could use more negative influences.... Like a "suspected spy" from the king if you know what i mean. A men that is ordered to follow you around by the king with the pretense he's helping you, but you kinda question his allegiance

More traits - less ancillaries!

Most of my family members pick up 8 while they are sill getting an education in EB1. I rarely get to see the more interesting ancillaries as a result.

Exactly what I was thinking of!

True Lover?

"This woman is the love of this man's life, regardless of how many political marriages he takes to."
-1 to personal security, +1 to influence.

Thought of that as I was reading Holland's Rubicon while reading this post.
Caesar and Servilia came to mind.

I agree that the ancillaries should be harder to achieve. That way everybody doesn't have a clerk, philosopher, and armorer.

Any word from the EB II team on making it harder to max out ancillaries in EB II.

I disagree, people are going to pick up contacts as they move through their lives.
That is, unless they're a shut-in.

There is no disputing this. However those contacts need not take up valuable ancillary slots surely! Most MIITW mods seem better balanced in this regard. Perhaps because of the desire to assign titles (duke, count etc) to the conqueror of each territory. Personally I would prefer ancillaries to be more event led than education led. Either that or a more effective method of removing them introduced.

I would like to see something like the extended office mod for EBII.

Another thing I never saw, was a roman loving orgys? But maybe it exists in EB 1?

Well, those contacts are going to be of real use in reality, so why not have them of real use in EB2?
