A question to the team.
So far with the development of EBII discussions have focused on which factions will be included, how new skins will look, new units and new weapons, in short the interesting stuff.
Here comes the boring part. Recently whilst playing in the British Isles I noticed that alot of the forestry is made up of conifers and this appears to be the case for most of Gaul, Germany and Scandinavia, however the palynological records for this period as well as wood preserved in various forms indicates that most of temperate Europe during this period (with the possible exception of Scandinavia for which my knowledge is lacking) was covered in climax forest (oak, elm etc.). Thus the vegetation depicted in EBI is historically inaccurate.
My question is then will the vegetation in EBII be historically accurate? Or is this just too low priority to be concerned with/lacking in information/hardcoded?
Thanks.
(By the way if anyone has superior palaeoenvironmental knowledge of Iron Age Europe i surrender to you without a fight)
