A few thoughts on the expansion capabilities of the northern european factions

[Noble Wrath]

I was expecting something like that, I just didn't know if it was possible. The seasonal recruitment especially will totally revamp gameplay. This project methinks resembles more and more a historical simulation than a game. You bet I will wait Oudysseos.

Just to be clear: the seasonal recruitment is something that is being developed, but if for any reason it doesn't work as planned, we would explore other avenues.

(...) i.e., you can have all levy type units disband at the end of the campaigning season)

Wait, does that mean that it is possible to disband units by scripts? It could be an interesting way to simulate "miltia-type" units, e.g. low-exp warbands that would be spawned at emergency.

Quantity limitations will be great for all factions. No more pure-elite armies.

Seasonal recruitment? Wow, that's quite a concept. I hope that "campaigning season" means all season except for winter.

[Hannibal Khan the Great]

Well, it would depend. Remember the summer-hating steppe?

In case of the Pritanoi I'd say the touta units probably won't be available during harvest

Regarding reforms, this is something I have wondered about before. In EB there government reforms for the Hayasdan faction: the first represents a greater centralisation of power in an initially fragmented mountain kingdom, the second was about transforming the faction into a new Persian empire if you control certain regions. I asked long ago whether similar reforms were planned for other factions, for example for transforming the tribal confederations of the "barbarian" factions into centralised kingdoms. The answer was that no more reforms would be implemented unitl EBII.

Therefore, I'll ask again: are there any political reforms of the same type we have already seen for Hayasdan currently planned to be implemented in EBII?
