Something I love to see is pools of mercenary's consisting of several regions like in RTW vanilla. This might help stop the insane merc. recruitment of for instance the romans in germania.
Another minor suggestion (unless there have been changes since 0.81a) is to change the descr_event_images.txt file with these changes.:
Code:
building_completed
icon settlement
heading_items 6
format
{
title center verdana black
string center verdana_med khaki
bodystring left verdana_sml khaki left
image center
spacer 8
multistring left verdana_med black center
multistring left verdana_sml khaki left
}
unit_completed
icon military
heading_items 5
format
{
title center verdana black
string center verdana_med khaki
image center
spacer 8
multistring left verdana_med black center
bodystring left verdana_sml khaki left
spacer 8
multistring left verdana_sml khaki left
}
retraining_complete
icon military
format
{
title center verdana black
string center verdana_med khaki
image center
spacer 8
multistring left verdana_med black center
bodystring left verdana_sml khaki left
spacer 8
multistring left verdana_sml khaki left
}
building_repair_complete
icon settlement
format
{
title center verdana black
string center verdana_med khaki
bodystring left verdana_sml khaki left
image center
spacer 8
multistring left verdana_med black center
multistring left verdana_sml khaki left
}
as opposed to the original:
Code:
building_completed
icon settlement
heading_items 6
format
{
title center verdana black
string center verdana_med khaki
bodystring left verdana_sml khaki left
image center
spacer 8
string center verdana_med black
multistring left verdana_sml khaki left
}
unit_completed
icon military
heading_items 5
format
{
title center verdana black
string center verdana_med khaki
image center
spacer 8
string center verdana_med black
bodystring left verdana_sml khaki left
spacer 8
multistring left verdana_sml khaki left
}
retraining_complete
icon military
format
{
title center verdana black
string center verdana_med khaki
image center
spacer 8
string center verdana_med black
bodystring left verdana_sml khaki left
spacer 8
multistring left verdana_sml khaki left
}
building_repair_complete
icon settlement
format
{
title center verdana black
string center verdana_med khaki
bodystring left verdana_sml khaki left
image center
spacer 8
string center verdana_med black
multistring left verdana_sml khaki left
}
which will prevent text from overlapping:
Last two are the current situation, top 2 are with the changes above.
Re: Suggestions for v0.81
It's one of the most useful units in the game IMO. The only phalanx you can actually afford to use as eastern greek faction in the early years. And it gets the job done. In fact, I just witnessed amazing performance by these guys in game. Was besieging Side from two sides, because I couldn't merge my armies. The garrison sallied out and of corse they attacked the small captain-led part of my forces instead of the bigger general-led part. So no benefit out of my general's traits. What's far worse though was that I accidentally allowed AI control over my reinforcements, which was most of my troops, leaving me only 3 units led by a captain
