Yer we'll have to fix that Mal.Originally Posted by Malrubius
Glad your enjoying it galathas. Had my first game the other day. Never actually played Eb before and onyl wanted to take a look at a few things in-game ... suffice to say I got roped in and the year is now 179 BC.
I'm very happy with the way Eb plays for the barbs. Much more realistic. Playing as the Aedui, one epic battle in 243 BC pretty much decided the Gallic civil war and the Arverni were mopped up within a few years. Then the Germans, who had done little til then, suddenly in 230 BC went on a westward rampage. I was flat out trying to assist the allied tribes in Sequallra (gov 2) and the Independent Belgae (rebel) to my north. With huge forces the Germans over-ran the Nevrii in 216 BC and moved onto the Bellovacii. At the point of a sword, I convinced the later to join the Great Gallic Alliance before the Germans arrived…then proceeded to fight a huge war of attrition all up and down the Rhine for the next 17 years.
It’s a classic, I have famous battle sites all down the Rhine as I struggle to fend off the German threat.
Now (180 BC) the Romans have moved into cisalpine Gaul / north, bypassed the Boii and taken Insubramrog from me… little I could do in time. And the Iberians have noticed how weak I am in the south and crossed the Pyrennes and am now threatening Tolosa.
Gotta love this..just need to get all the bits fixed and put in the right models and skins etc.
