    Default Basic Things

    This is what I've noticed so far. I'm pretty sure that the EB team will know all about these but here I go ...

    a) Loading the main menu takes a long time (bug?)
    b) The Eleutheroi have a senate flag and have Roman units in custom battles.
    c) No unit pics for the elephants.
    d) Is it because of the culture swap that custom battle unit selection is a bit strange? Everyone seems to have Mori Gestum and the Spartans I am still looking for, as well as the Eyptian elites....

    These are the basic things that should go out there; I know that most of these are build specific bugs not the CTD you're really hunting for. Btw, the Pezhetairoi I must admit gave me the biggest sticker shock of my life at 2000.

    1. While playing as SPQR, in battle mode, the flag is that of Arche Seleukida, and not of the Romans.

    a) not a bug
    b) we know.
    c)" "
    d) No, these are the local units the faction can create at certain places. Normally they shouldn't be there. someone is already working on that I believe.

    It's a feature, as with the other loading times. Our internal beta testers reported muscular atrophy after getting stuck in front of the internal builds for days (partially because of the chains.. and the caltrops around their dunge- *workstations*). The loading times were introduced to allow them do simple workouts to keep them in shape. Afterwards, during the short period of intern OB field tests conducted in a realistic enviroment, we found that chains and caltrops weren't the cause of the atrophy. Tests conducted by khelvan showed a staggering increase in muscular health of the testers after a brief period of loading workouts. In short, it's for your own good.

    Seriously, if you do abs while it loads, like I do, you'll have soon iron abs, even stronger than with SwordsMaster's programmes, like I have

    hahaha good stuff.

    e) Baktrion Agema are missing their phalanx. They start holding swords but ocassionally pull out a spear when charging. This also happens with Hypastistai.

    A few things I noticed in my Carthage Campaign:

    1) Carthaginian starting money is bugged:
    I started with 10,000, but the financial screen told me I started with 40,000
    2) Carthaginian economy is very weak:
    I'm not sure if it is a bug, but even in the first turn you're losing money at a phenomenal rate, in the spring of 271 I was already 17,000 indebt, with cost saving masures, economic improvements and the capture of Messana
    3) Carthage starts out with a number of Roman buildings (which shouldn't be there?), one even has the name 'should not appear'
    4) Tooltip at the faction information screen is wrong:
    The tooltip when you want hover over the button to go to a family member has the description which you should get when you look at the army upkeep in the city screen
    5) Roman cities covered in fog of war fly the Seleucid flag (I know you are aware of this, but I just wanted to point it out anyway)
    6) Rome starts at war with the Yuezhi and Averni (does this have to do with them using Roman faction slots? If they use them)
    7) Snow covered trees in the sahara
    8) Carthage can recruit Iberian javeliners on Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia and at Lepki
    9) Carthaginian faction selection map is wrong, it doesn't include Ippone
    10) Averni and Aedei faction selection maps are the wrong way around:
    The Aedui map shows the Averni territories, the Averni map shows the Aedui territories
    11) Rebel Pantadopoi infantry doesn't have a unit card and doesn't have a spear (on the battlemap)

    I think these are all the bugs I found in my 4 turns
