Iberia

[Wandarah]

New favourite faction. No one ever talks about it either.

You get a huge army at the start, and I was able to expand in 3 directions at once. Wipe out carthage, and take all of Iberia extremley early on.

The only thing that annoys me, is that like Sparta you cant recruit anything but skirmishes in the home province, and of course, some provinces that cant recruit anything at all. Is there a text file I could easily edit guys? Or is it more complex than that?

[Megalos]

Unfortunately it's a bit harder than simply "editing" a .txt file. (but in essence that's exactly what you'd have to do)

There are however plenty of tutorials throughout different forums, to teach you how to do this.

The tutorial you'd need to find is one that teaches you how to edit the 'export_descr_buildings.txt'. This is the file that RTW uses for building rules/effects (and thus recruitment through the barracks/MIC buildings)

You'd also have to get familiar with 'export_descr_units.txt' as this lists all of the available troops for possible recruitment.

However if you are not sure what you are doing, i'd not even attempt it. If you do, make sure you make backups of the original EB files.

Or you could shout and scream on the boards for a fixed export_descr_buildings.txt file, to get released before the next big patch...

...lol I'M SCREAMING!

I think there's a bug: I can't recruit any Bull Warriors. <_<

Iberia's starting armies will quickly plummet you into debt. You MUST expand in three directions. Be careful how you use your Iberian Scutarii; it's gonna be a while until you can tech up to replace them.

What I liked most was once you boot Carthage off, you're basically free to play how you want: turtle and tech up, or keep expanding.

I too, scream furiously! Avast thee!

They should be available all over Spain or in these Spanish provinces.

*SHARP PAIN*

I shall make a story about Iberia to spread the word! (after my Epeiros one of course)

I am reserving the Getai for myself :D Starting tomorrow, and we'll see how far I go :D

Argh!!!! You too, Brutus?...

[Teleklos Archelaou]

What's wrong, don't we have these Spainish bull warriors too? ( I guess I was being too subtle.)

Will lusitanians,and possibly other unique "tribal" units like them, be available in the next release ? I was hoping to play the Iberians, but their current unit roster seems too bland and generic compared to what I think should be the final one (IIRC these units were referenced in the preview).

Definitely!

Here's a question that will very likely get me inundated under a shower of soliferra... You mean Bull Warriors existed in antiquity? (Hidden question: You mean there are supposed to be Bull Warriors in EB?)

[Mujalumbo]

No, no... no Bull Warriors. I was just making a big joke. :)

[Teleklos Archelaou]

And I compounded the joke with my response. Neither I or Mujalumbo used the "wink" though unfortunately.

Just look at the helmet of the Iberian Assault Infantry
