    Default Ideas for new historical battles?

    concerning the HB sub mod I released here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...-pack-realesed
    I'm thinking about adding more HB to mod, so I came here to ask if you have any ideas for any other battles which I can create, (ones that aren't already presented in the official EB historical battles releases and in my sub mod).

    I'd take the opposite approach; what are the battles where do we have enough informations ? Forces, deployment, etc...

    It would create a pool of potential HB from which you could pick your choice.
    Unfortunately, I can ask the question, but can't answer it.

    Question is which battles we have info enough on.

    Here are some I would love to see, info not known.

    Battle of Ilipa
    battle of Arausio
    Battle of Aquae Sextiae
    Battle of Vercellae
    Battle of the Causeways, Caecina vs Arminus

    How about the battle of Orchomenus? Please make more battles; the ones you made are really awesome

    I always wanted to play the two battles where Antiochus III lost to the Romans - can't remember their names at the moment, but there was 1 in Greece and 1 in Asia Minor. the reason is, I'm a HUGE Seleucid fan, and those two battles were really the ones where, had they gone the other way around, the Seleucid Empire could have made it (so it's the option to play them as AS I'm looking for)

    whether enough is known about them to make them in EB is something I have no idea about (obvious really, since I can't even remember their names). But well, those are my wishes ;)
    Moreover, I advise that Syracusans must be added to EB (insp. by Cato the Elder )

    Is looking forward to the 2090's, when EB 20.0 will be released - spanning the entire Eurasian continent and having no Eleutheroi - with a faction for every independent state instead. Look out for the Gedrosians, the Cretans and the kingdom of Kallatis!

    Umm Magnesia is already in and Antiochos III Megas' Thermopylae is hard to make, as you can't make a small passage in this game like it was in real.

    Sometimes there is a bug when starting Magnesia, if it CTD's install the official historical battles submod (originally for EB1.1 but works with 1.2 aswell)
