Europa Barbarorum 2.08e is released!

[QuintusSertorius]

Changelist for 2.07a:

• Corrected some syntax errors in the EDCT and EDA. Primary impact on Taksashila offices which should now function correctly.
• Highlanders recruited from certain Pontic and Armenian government buildings start with experience.
• Corrections to Hayastan and Baktrian missions - one CTD-causing, the other a missing script.
• Prevented the double-qualification of Direct Mauryan Government in India - which prevents the tribal government appearing after independence.
• Corrected the unique building bonus in Armavir and several other places.
• Change to conversion mechanics - owner rates halved (so equal to founder/neighbour) and governor influence halved.
• Corrected faulty syntax in requirements for the gandhara_viceroyal.
• Reworking of Migration governments for barbarian factions.
• Fixed copy-paste error in Confederates line of triggers. Thanks to myarta!
• Reverted archers and slingers to the previous mechanics.
• Replaced unit scripting with a BAI update - the scripting isn't ready yet.
• Changed the nine factions using the Teutonic system of family structure to regular family tree. EDCT adjusted with regards ethnicities.

Now would be a good time to test Baktria, or indeed one of the newly family-tree'd factions (KH and most of the "barbarians").

EDIT: Pulled this one, the unit scripting isn't ready yet. It'll have an update to the regular BAI instead.
EDIT2: Re-issued as 2.07a removing the unfinished script. Note in-game it still says 2.07 - but the zip file is the correct version.

Just out of curiosity, are all the updates/patches not save game compatible? Would like some clarification on this please.

Like it says in the first post, none of the patches are savegame compatible. You need a new campaign each time.

Hello Super-Duper EB team:)

"Replaced unit scripting with a BAI update - the scripting isn't ready yet."

What Is the plan with unit scripting/what does It consist of?

Best regards

I would prefer to keep it quiet until a later date but there's two advantages one gameplay based, the other history based.

I can confirm that atleast for me, the mission for Baktria that causes a CTD, doesn't anymore.

Changelist for 2.07b:

• Adjustment to conversion rates
• Cultural conversion removed from higher-tier Bosporan buildings. Only the earlier nomadic structures are supposed to convert.
• Fast conversion from converting building reduced by 1/3.
• Fixed the Tirdad/new Parthian traits bug. Also fixed the Lugian suitors with multiple ethnicities.
• More Client Ruler descriptions added.
• Further reduction of the order-bonus effects of the AIGovernor trait (ie AI empires will be less stable).
• Reduced the garrison of Sarmizsegethusa slightly to aid AI-Getai's early expansion.
• Changed Saba Precursor minimum settlement size to village - same as all the rest. Also revised requirement of city for their precursor and tribal governments.
• Adjustments to Roman stats (morale lowered by one point) and Machairophoroi get ap as intended.
• Change to requirements for Basilike Patris (top-tier Hellenistic government) - now need polis_two and helcol_two, rather than polis_three and helcol_three. However, you can only build one of them. This has most immediate impact on Makedonia, who don't start with one and have to wait a long time otherwise.
• Slight tweak to recruitment in Bosporan Tyrranos and Paradynastes.
• Use of non-existent unit in Boii mission script corrected.
• Market in Saka capital changed to caravans.
• Correct to Hayastan independence script to match that of Baktria.
• Adjustments to agent traits and thresholds.
• Update to Nabataean reforms - now with an AI trigger/fallback.
• Revision to some garrisons in Arabia.

Shall I update the title of the thread? Because on the forum index it still says 2.04.

Yes, please. Make it 2.07 - that'll be close enough.

Changelist for 2.08:

• Hardy removed from Camillian Principes - omission before. Alteration to recruit_offset_priority to make for more balanced AI armies.
• Expanded Numidian family tree to be less rarified.
• Lowered requirement for first level of temple for Numidia by one. Adjusted Sab'yn access to battle/governor's temples to saba_tribal.
• saba_tribal now rel_d or rel_c 20% - but saba_clients rel_c 40%
• Change to Marian reform mechanics. Municip cannot be built anywhere but Roma until the reform.
• BAI, CAI and diplomacy updates. Updated faction standing (so no longer the vanilla file).
• Unit-based battle script ready for testing. Make sure you activate the script at the beginning of the battle (by clicking on the advisor's face).
• Slight increase in Boii starting units.
• Bosporan Royal Satrapy restructured and restriction to a single one removed. Helleno-Nomadic Satrapy also altered. Free upkeep added to Allied/Subject Clan.
