some suggestion to make it a perfect game

[marseu]

About Loyalty and religions I have to say that I'm playng EB with BI, but this two elements of gameplay aren't present anyway.

About the possibility to recruit Legions I have read on some other forum of some other mod that is possible to recruit specific historical legions such as the X Legio Augustea, I think that this is done by building some kind of structure that let you train Legions.

About Natural events I was referring to events such as storms and quakes, that happens so rarely in the game.

I hope you understand cause my english is really bad.

They need to be modded in the campaign, otherwise the BI exe gives only slightly better AI on itself.

You just need to give to an unit the legionary eagle attribute and mod the legion names in the appropriate territories, pretty easily doable.

Numbered First Cohorts will be available in the next full release, not 0.81. We cannot name them without having multiple Legions of the same name, which is historically inaccurate.

Hi again,

About Natural events I was referring to events such as storms and quakes, that happens so rarely in the game.

Hmm, I don't know much about them. The EB team hasn't commented on them at all - yet.

And I am also sorry to say that have said that they will not implement anything from BI into their mod even if they could. This is due to the fact that these games are paid for and EB is a free modification - not every EB player has BI. According to the EB team it would be a form of theft from the Creative Assembly (the R:TW developers) should they do this. I hope this helps you! Cheers!

Oh and by the way:

I hope you understand cause my english is really bad.

No need to apologise, I can understand you perfectly

If it can be implemented using the vanilla executable I don't see any form of thievery as they are effectively tools made available by CA for free.

The thievery angle is slightly out of context. When it was made it was understood that we would need to include certain BI-specific graphics files which were certainly not made available by CA for free but only accessible with a copy of BI. This was about a year ago prior to moving to a RTW 1.5 base and using the -mod switch, which is why it might be moot. However, that was only ever a secondary (though showstopping) issue. The primary issue was one of playability - a much smaller amount of RTW players have BI, so making a BI-only EB means much less people will be able to play the game.

We currently have no official plans to make 1.0 BI-specific.

EDIT: Forgot to include the most essential word in that sentence.

My tiny brain is *very* confused

Do you mean that you have no plans to take EB beyond 0.8x or are you just saying that EB has no plans for making a modification for BI?

[Zarax]

Well, it doesn't take that much work to replace a few icons especially for a team the size of EB, does it?

Plus as I stated RTW (not BI) 1.5 supports both loyalty (not useful in EB campaign admittely due to the need to have faction slots reserved to rebels) and religion without needing the BI exe as we have them both working publicly or experimentally in XGM.

AFAIK the only features that does not work for certain on vanilla 1.5 exe (what EB is developed for) are swimming and special formations, although they can be implemented in the EDU files without any crash (allowing BI users to take advantage of them while 1.5 will just play as if they are not in the EDU).

To clarify things my posts are not meant to push the EB team in any direction whatsoever but just to list some available options that might have been overlooked due to misunderstanding.

The part referring to "tools released for free" in my previous post was meant to be "for free to RTW1.5 users" so that they had a few extra features at their disposal if they wanted to mod them in.

P.S. Nice title blacksnail!

No 1.0 Just .81? Maybe go to 2.0.
