Cities in EB II

[olly]

Does anyone know what is happening with cities in EBII?

Will they be left as they are, just changed to Classical skins, or will there be a big reduction in their walls and defences?

Thanks

We can probably bet that in the first public (open beta?) version there will be no new models, unfortunately. I hope that it will be the highest priority after the release and we will be cursed no more! There is hardly anything more immersion breaking than "medieval" buldings in 100% "ancient" game.

This is something that we will do our best to hide (first) and to change (later). But it's still a grey area.

I thought the settlement files had been cracked? Is there something else preventing you changing it?

Well, they can be modded, but people are still figuring out how exactly.

My Macedonian castle with cannons will shoot ya´all to bits , and after that, the basileus will go to the cathedral to thank Hephaistos (the son of the almighty)....

Maybe a dumb remark but... why don't you ask CA for that kind of information? Even if their answer contains mostly general information it might prove valuable.

The "settlement view" feature is not present in M2TW, so cities can be designed as battlegrounds rather than as places where peasants mill about randomly, IIRC. That means trenches, spikes rubble etc.

In the mod "De Bello Mundi", new buildings are already started:
