Help with Casse? Reborn RTW fan runs to EB :P

[David_VI]

You can transfer them by clicking and dragging the ancillary portraits from one general down to the other on the "army" view of the stack or town. Some can't be transferred, because the general has an ancillary that clashes with the new one.

Most are gained by having your general sit in a settlement, but some are gained by travelling outside or winning battles. In EB, gaining an ancillary (not having one transferred) can also affect your general's traits. A comedian might cheer him up, for example. A gladiator might cause the general to become a bigger fan of the games. Academies provide a lot of ancillaries (especially in Athenai and Alexandreia!) These ancillaries usually teach your general some academic skill.

Oh yes. Thanks for that, I had some idea how they worked but just needed a bit more info and backing up about it so I could use them to my advantage

Malrubrius did a good job with the ancillaries question. I'd just add when transferring ancillaries, the family members doing the transferring should be in the same stack, settlement, or what have you.

1. Casse's victoly conditions should also show up as a trait for your faction leader.

2. E.B. has tweaked vanilla RTW a bit, you have to decide what to do with your starting forces; all out attack, or disband and build. They've really cut back on how fast an economy grows, and made unit recruitment and upkeep costs higher. So, yeah, almost everybody's income is tight at first. Pick your battles carefully, expand, and build ecnomoic upgrades and you should be doing fine. Remember, at first, you probably won't be able to afford to throw stacks and stacks of troops around. :)

Thanks!

It seems very hard to get started on EB, but i've only tried the Casse so far!

more :D

4. Is it a good idea to send your diplomat abroad before disbanding the fleet? The guide says so but i'd like some more helping info... is it best to just go around making trade agreements with every faction you come upon? What about alliances? which factions are best for what when visiting them with your diplomat.. for example when i first tried I made just the Aedui and sweboz allied..

5. When starting again now I know a bit more, what difficulty would you recommend for the best gaming experiance on EB but good for getting more used to it?


Thanks again!
