Fan-based map progression thread

Because this thread is off topic already could I ask a question?

If that is a yes here it is.

Does the team like amaturish suggestions from fans, and do good suggestions help to join the team?

How is this thread off topic? I think its 100% on topic.

I can't speak for the team, but not every EB member is a professional historian, so being an amateur is not a problem. That said: there's no shortage of ideas, and there is a shortage of people that know how to implement them. You stand a better chance of you teach yourself a modding skill they need. I am not sure if this is still up-to-date, but they were looking for someone who knows how the TW trait engine works.

I still wonder how EB team reflect Parthian Reformation, I hope it will not be so complicated as in EB1.

Any other colour blind people worried they won't be able to see their massive empires (or struggling kingdoms in my case)?

[Populus Romanus]

The EBII team said on TWC that the Gallic factions will be reduced to their capitol regions, so we can draw those in.

as long as there are questions may I ask one?

Will the Barcids be more powerful in EB 2? It was always annoying to fight Carthage, they always ignore Sicily and Spain and always invest in the out of the way Saharan provinces.

The lack of a Numidian faction, and the presence of several rebell villages in the desert was reason enough for Carthage to go after those settlements, since the AI is crazy about grabing every rebell town they can get their hands on. Now, with the Numidians in, it will depend on diplomatic settings for both, Carthies and Numidians, where the Carthaginians would pay their attention more - fighting the former/competing with them for Eleutheroi towns, or expanding right away in Sicily and/or Spain. I´ve used to notice, in several campaigns - mostly i was playing an eastern faction, too far away from the "Punic front", that Carthaginians often try to attack Messana, and even Syracuse, but get utterly defeated, especially against Syracuse, since the garrison, and the strategos, there are really tough to break. And since the Romans love it to attack Corsica and Sardinia the Carthies get a bit distracted by the multiple fronts, i guess. And then there is a dumb punic habit to raid Italian coast, sending a 3 unit party to pillage Roma and Capua, or ignoring the, too strong, rebells on Sicily, to walk through south Italy with their Faction Heir, scouting Region etc.

Added in the Gallic factions.

The Numidia province has been split in two, the Massylians only hold the Eastern half.
