    Default EB with BI is imprssive

    I installed it last night an, i st5arted a seleucid campaign, and to say the least im impressed with the AI movement impiticular. Iv never had rebel factions attack me so frequently, the rebels are actually more hostile than my current enemies which iv never heard of be4. and they arnet just hostile to me, they are attacking everyone which is great. Im a bit gutted so far that i spent over a year using alexander when in 5 turns im this happy with this mod. Oh well we'l c how it goes. Ill keep yas updated, n ill b postin all my current empires soon :P

    I'm thinking too about ALX or BI, but is it really better? Cos you can't base it on one experience.

    I thought BI and ALX had the same AI btw.

    I have a suggestion for you. Every time you post i have great difficulty reading your posts, since you try to shorten sentences, write numbers instead of letters, don't use ponctuation that often, u often forget words... I understand that you may not be a native english speaker, but the problem isn't the vocabulary, it's how your writing.

    Don't take this by any means the wrong way, but i don't understand a large procentage of your posts, and i don't even bother to read them, even though i could be active in such topics

    But is it worth it? I mean they already act stupid.

    I hope you mean Pantodapoi with panda.... (I'm not quite familiar with the EB lingo, for instance I am clueless if somebody would say: "Hey check out my AAR".)
    I for instance love animals, wouldn't want to kill them (except if it were kittehs)

    eerrr... an AAR, it's a story the players made by players... they play their campaing and tells it as an epic stories... as for animals, all i have to say is... pay attention to the bear... he tends to molest....

    After Action Report. It isn't EB colliloque, either; the term is used for all total war games and mods.

    and carthaginians are "carthies", a seleukid steamroller is called "grey death", the ptolemaic version is the "yellow fever", cataphracts are often called catanks. the list goes on in regards to EB/TW slang.
    maks=macedonians
    CTD=crash to desktop
    etc

    I hope that will enlighten ye on the local slang and jargon.

    ....and the bartix, Ibrahim, one must never forget the bartix....

    Romans, some call them by their greek term Rhomaioi/Romaioi; Some simply call them Barbaroi.

    Not only did it take me surprisingly long time to understand the word 'panda', but I also slowly read my way through all of the mess before noticing the spoiler below :( ;p
    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!

    If you see someone repeatedly spamming and/or trolling, he/she is high on Meth. It's an old term leftover from the days I drove the moderators in this subforum insane.

    Don't forget that not destroying those government buildings can lead to some problems. If a region was under bitter dispute between several AI factions, and numerous government buildings are present (all damaged, of course) when you capture the city, repairing one or all of them sometimes leads to CTD's.

    So, destroy the AI government(s), build the regional pacification, then build your own government.
