Post your EB empires!

Interesting, I don't ever think I've seen someone play one of the Gallic tribes and not start conquering the other right away. Are you using FD? I find it hard to believe you could hold off the Romans and Arverni simultaneously with so few provinces.

It's not that difficult if you have such a Vergobret and an army in Bononia



PS. I play my own minimod where spearmen's attack reduced by 4 points

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

Hello chevrons. On a side note, I had an army that was similar in experience though larger in size in my Aedui campaign that walked all over the central european armies. I love how fast gallic infantry levels up in their campaigns.

[Fluvius Camillus]

Nice Faction Leader!

Why did you reduce spearmen attack?

As of 239BC, this is Pergamon and the various kingdoms who have joined the Pan-Hellenic Confederation (all have type IV governments and client rulers):



The game map now looks thus (still lots of rebels and no faction dead yet):



Minor update, now 235BC, and chaos successfully sown in Asia Minor. Check this out (I gave Mazaka to KH and Egypt bribed a much-weakened Ipsos):

Looks like a really interesting campaign. Perhaps I should try something like it myself one time. Too bad I'm too lazy to mod

There's actually very little modding required to do this one. Edit the names (Epeiros to Pergamon, Epirote to Pergamene) in expanded_bi.txt (in \Data\text\), and change the colours (to whatever RGB combination you like - I changed the Ptolemies so it contrasted better with Seleukid silver on the minimap) in descr_sm_factions.txt (in \Data\). That's it for the modding, and even that's optional if you don't care what it looks like.

Then you start the game as Epeiros/Pergamon, use move_character to transport all your armies to Mysia, give Taras to the Romans for a ceasefire and trade rights, and once you've got Pergamon sell off everything in Epidamnos and Ambrakia, push tax up and let them revolt. You'll also need to disband your navy and get rid of your elephants. Helps to kill off Helenos Aiakides too.

Hey, thanks for the instructions. I just noticed in your screenshot that the Pahlavans own the city on the westcoast of the caspian sea. Is that by any chance your doing or did they manage to get in that strange situation all by themselves?

For once, it wasn't me!

[johnhughthom]

From my Pahlava AAR @ 223BC. Nothing terribly exciting, AS and Ptolies made peace ages ago, looks like the Carthies are going to kick some Roman butt and the Luso monster is about to kick into gear.

[Hotseat_User]

that white in the topright corner are the remnants of pontos?!?

[Drunk Clown]

Hmmm, well Pontos' faction color is purple(ish). So it would make more sense it being AS, wouldn't you think?

Unless johnhughtom changed their faction colour of course.

[johnhughthom]

Yep, it's the AS holding that region, gone back and forth between them and the Saka a few times. Along with Baktria fighthing the Saka and Sauromatae, it has kept my eastern and northern borders free as they are all busy fighting each other.

[Hotseat_User]

hehe okay, it just seems to be a bit lighter than the usual grey from AS - so my guess was on Pontus :-)

My favourite KH campaign on VH/M.

Nor for me. You need to upload images to a hosting site such as Imageshack, etc.

After couple of funny, but "ctd" rich campaing starts with Sweboz, i´ve switched EB to BI.exe a while ago, and now i can enjoy the game the way it´s ment to be - not one crush anymore, great!

Well, actually, there is nothing spectacular concerning my campaign; i just wanted to share a small joy, when i´ve managed to "create" the Galatians, by conquering the last Arverni town in Europe. Of course, i had a bunch of a help from Aedui, who simply exploded on VH, and are now grabing the last rebel settlements around them, before they would knock on my door, and the Seleucids, of course, who have managed to let Ankyra rebell, so that i could take the opportunity to fulfill this plan.
Right now, Arverni FH and FL are aperantly moving towards Asia Minor, and i hope, they won´t be cut down, before they´ve riched their destination. Or, at least, i hope, another FM would pop up in Ankyra, so that the freshly established Galatian Kingdom could bring some exotic flavor to those distinct lands :)

I might add, that i´ve tweaked the EDU a bit to my tastings ( mainly concerning the units the Romans can recruit - only their natives + some "auxilla" cavalry, and now one can see quite balanced roman armies, containing of almost historical accurate unit compositions and no more triari + pedites spam ), and tweaked some units´ stats too, wich actually has no real impact on the behavior of the AI, except the roman, of course.

Hier is the link: since the script on this side keeps poping up an error message:

[QuintusSertorius]

Why don't you use move_character to put those Arverni in Galatia?

[vollorix]

Well, it wasn´t my intention to create Galatians instead the Arverni, actually. It´s just the limitation of the engine, wich does not allow to have all the cool factions, but would spice up the campaign, that, through a sort of coinsedence, but still, a new faction "emerged" on the map, though, c.a half century later :) And since i´m playing on VH campaign this time, and those "Galatians" instantly made an alliance with Ptoleys and not trying to retake any settlements in the Gaul, i´m pretty confident, that they can play some interesting role in this campaign.

[NIKOMAHOS]

I use imageshack but the photo is not here.

I will try once more.

Let's try a Luso campaign.
Maybe there is a problem with the KH image.

I'd teleport those FMs down there :)

Your linking us the wrong link. It should say "direct link : blabla.jpeg" copy that one

What you write in your post should look like this, without the two *:

I searched the forums for "move_character" console command, and i was so far been able to teleport the Aedui captains, but no matter wich name combination i´ve tried, i used to get error messages complaining that the character could not be found :(
Anyway, the leaders of the Aedui, now Galatians, are now located in Dacia, but Getai and Epirotes are at war and most of the passages are blocked by their armies. I wonder, if the guys will manage to finaly get to Ankyra...^^

Here's how: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=1#post2201707
(from the original explanation by Mediolanicus)

Basically, if the Arverni guy's name is "Fred oi Flintstone", then you do
move_character "Fred arvernioiFlintstone"

(I did this yesterday, when I was starting a little Galatian empire in Antiocheia )

An impressive Koinon Hellenon-empire you've got there. Any chance you'll attempt a world conquest?
