I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you afterwards.

A small price to pay!!

p.s.: patience is always useful

Nothing a good champagne can't fix.

[Equilibrium]

Had to be a very good champagne...

[edyzmedieval]

If you're ok with Dom Perignon or Moet Chandon, then it's settled.

[oscar.k]

Can you be more specific? I really don't understand what you are saying.

[Avicenna]

He means that he wants an officer and aquilifer with every unit. Some units have the aquilifer, and many have an optio (officer).

[cunctator]

Unfortunately every additonal officer, standard bearer, musician means one model less, so their numbers have to balanced with the need for more units to accurately reprsent all factions.

[stalin]

The crappy skirmishers have an amazing 57.75 throw distance and 10 missiles while the velites only 45 and 8 missiles ,why the decrease in range

[QwertyMIDX]

Heavier javelin I think, probably has a higher attack. Could be a stat mistake though, I'll look into it.

Is it possible to give a general a trait that would cause his army to be impetuous and want to charge even without orders? Maybe something such as "Eager for Battle" or "Motivator"?

I was reading my Goldsworthy book and it had an excerpt about the Battle of Thapsus written by one of Caesar's officers. It pretty much gave me the idea that this would be an interesting trait: that the army would be so eager to fight or motivated by the general that they just want to rush into battle.

on the pic 12 you see a comander and a Eager for Battle
and a horn for battle ? i tink

[edyzmedieval]

Ahhh. I get it.

Well, probably only the music, because the models are precious for EB, and they need to use it for every historical unit. Some units have the same model though.

[Dayve]

I suggest you ask for permission and use some of the music from LT1946's mods... There's one song especially, when you first move a unit on the battlefield it starts to play, and the song just sounds so perfect for this period in history, ESPECIALLY if you play as the Romans, because even if you know nothing about history, this one song will just instantly cry ROMAN to you as soon as you hear it... I'll try to find it.

Here it is. http://www.axifile.com?5222425

That song is so perfect for a Roman army marching... Also when your men start to fight, there's a perfect one for that too, i'll uploadith it.

Here it be. http://www.axifile.com?8654365

but you can try it

[Dayve]

I can't download anything from axifile. Never been able to.. The download link just never generates for me.

[spacedouthamster]

Would it be possible to take a look at the unit upkeep values beacuse at the moment it seems as if they are too high IMO. A good example would be the parthian horse archers, as the parthians are semi nomadic the cost of upkeep should be a lot less as all the warriors already have horses and basic weapons as part of their way of life so it would not be neccesary for the state to pay for their upkeep, in contrast the roman legionary infantry would be quite expensive to maintain as all their equipment/ lodgings/ food are paid for by the state.

[edyzmedieval]

Hmmm... EB is intended to make the game harder and much more enjoyable. So basically, no.

But you can do that by yourself.

[Delig]

Why not add more provinces to the game? Especially in Greece, oh and I couldn't see Thermon in greece so why not add that, and then add the oracle,which would make it that any troops trained at Thermon have a morale bonus, ote I must admit I am more of a RTR 6.0 player, so I am use to alot of provinces.

[Geoffrey S]

They're already at the max number of provinces the Rome engine will allow.

Why is everyone so fascinated by more provinces in Greece? It's hardly like it played a major role in the period as depicted.

[GiantMonkeyMan]

too many provinces often leads to seige after siege after siege... and greece is already bad enough as it is... p.s thermon is in there

[edyzmedieval]

Maximum number of provinces for EB anyhow. It's good as it is, though the map has a lot of bugs and needs to be improved.

[Avicenna]

Welcome to the org Delig!

Thermon is already in the campaign, as is the oracle at Delphi, which appears as a building in Thermon. I think it does give morale bonuses already.

@Geoffrey: because Greece's history is quite famous amongst most people, as are many of her city states, and not all people are interested in and read about classical history. Greek myths, being so well known, also help in giving most people the impression that Greeks were very influential (which they were) and therefore powerful.

greece is not as bad as it was in another mod which I dare not mention

[Teleklos Archelaou]

It is appropriate though I think that the KH is the only faction that never ever seems to acquire any sort of empire or large landholdings in EB AI progression.

[Dayve]

Greece has always had this problem... They have a weak army and not the best economy in the world to start with... Although Athens is a money maker, it is only a money maker when you are trading with every city around it as well as land trade with the rest of Greece...

Macedonia on the other hand starts off pretty large with a bigger army, as well as all that superior cavalry.

Althouh i remember in one game of EB, the KH and the Epirotes beat Macedonia and each helf half of the peninsula... Greece the east and Epirotes the west.

[oscar.k]

i think you hired this before but a better building browser will be good
(i can see -/+ 50% building,s on te browser )

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Building browser won't really be able to be fixed. It won't show buildings that have an "and not" condition, and most of ours do. The game itself allows the requirements, but leaves them off the building browser if you use them. Brilliant.
