What are the main things you want to see fixed from EB1 in EB2???

Not sure if this is possible......but I would like to see cavalry charge through and out of the other side of the unit they are engaging....or at least a chance of this.

There is a chance of this it's called a... ... ... successful charge! ;D



But about my idea: A comprehensive weapons stat index. Such as Gladius -, Sarissa -, Chainmail -, Lorica Hamataa -, etc. etc. etc...

Dunno if someone already pointed out this, but M2TW diplomacy and AI are not that of RTW, right?

They are in fact very moddable (there are many and very different AIs on TWC and other fan sites).

To some people, try to visit TW Center to inform you about M2TW modding before posting false infos as they were well known facts.

[Horatius Flaccus]

Diplomacy is still the same (only you now get an indication of the answer), and not moddable at all. BAI en CAI are somewhat moddable, but not very.

[antisocialmunky]

CAI can be moddable to a reasonable spot so that's not a really big problem. BAI... I dunno. There are groups out there that claim that the AI is much better though I haven't seen a good formation AI.

Bear with me if this is not possible (I've never played Medieval 2) or has already been discussed, but the biggest problem in EB for me, and is in fact a problem in all Total War games I've played, is the lack of internal civil wars in factions. This is why we see the Ptolemies become so powerful most of the time in EB 1. This is why you can have a king with the charisma and martial skill of a dead crocodile and still conquer the world. This is why I (and probably many other players) often lost interest in a campaign after about 50 years, with no civilization that can harm me and no potential civil wars. I recall Barbarian Invasion vanilla having the most rudimentary of concepts for this (with Roman Empire rebels cropping up and whatnot), but it wasn't great. If only the Creative Assembly would take some hints from Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis: Rome, we'd have a game that is wonderfully immersive and realistic in more aspects of why battles are fought, rather than just focusing on increasing the graphical quality of the battlefield.
