Baktria Bugs

[Merino]

First of all, before I get to the complain stuff, what a great mod you made!!
I stopped playing RTW for something like a year so I hadn't played EB yet (I followed all the previews and was really anxious to play it) so starting it up yesterday was loads of fun :)

However, playing as Baktria I noticed 1 major bug and a minor thingy. I'm playing on VH/M

1 - major bug --> My spies are dying with every action I give them. I've had 6 spies die on me so far

2 - minor thing --> I'm getting killed by 1 unit of Indian Eulotheroi with bows and swords. They can beat my horses, my infantry and both of them at once. Kinda unbalanced isn't it when my army is getting killed by a few units of Eulotheroi's...

Whats your spy's skill level? they die easily if they dont have a good skil level. and its random

[Merino]

It's probably not a high level but in order to get a high level spy I'll have to train him by letting him do assignments.

The point is that out of 6 spies (maybe even 7 or 8, can't remember) with 6 assignments (5 times to spy a village, once to spy an army) they died 6 times. Not even once a failure. All death. I understand this when the chance to succes is 1% but not when it's like 30% (since 1/3th should survive with such a chance).


Also, now playing as Pontus I'm having lot's of trouble with rebel horse archers. Kinda like the same as the rebel around Baktria with bows and swords.
I don't understand why archers are so overpowered. Horse archers are imo unbeatable as are missile units who are stronger then my infantry units...

It's a lot harder to have success with spies. You have to 'train' them a lot. Keep them, every turn, spying on easier targets, like captains in the field and such. And try to get them into cities and stay there, so they can build spyguilds there. Keeping a lot of them constantly training is the only way they can be successful in EB.

Besides these, is Baktria even supposed to be played at this stage? Every time I command a battle, after it finishes loading out after my victory, it CTD's immediantly. If I autoresolve, I lose so many troops that to continue fighting is.... difficult to say the least. I removed the EB speed up mod, so right now the game is just standard .74

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Either "every time I command a battle" it ctd's is a large exaggeration, or there has to be something else wrong with your build. This is not something that happens normally with any faction in the 074 build. The faction is definitely playable in 074.
