Really good work. I have only one little criticism: I think Pheraspidai are not only recruitable in Macedon and Thessalia in Greece, but also in the rest of the provinces where you can recruit Hypaspistai. Generally you can always recruit Pheraspidai where you can recruit Hypaspistai. But really cool idea again.

Edit: Or did they change it in 0.81a?

The maps are correct, I am afraid

Hmmm, I just looked it up to be sure, but I can recruit Pheraspidai in all my Homeland provinces, Makedonia, Thessalia, Epeiros, Illyria Hellenike, Dardanoia, and Odrysai with a Level 4 Factional MIC. And I can remember I was able to do so before I installed that couple of different fixes for different versions. Basically I have 0.81. So I don't know if the EB-team changed this in 0.81a, but in 0.81 it's surely possible (at least in my game ).

[Bonny]

Centurio Nix als verdrus :D is correct, Pheraspidae are recruitable in more than two provinces in 0.81a, but this may have changed in the last internal builds...

I have a question regarding the letters on the barbarian cards:

what does

F
B
S

stand for?

I couldn't find it in the first post.

[Ludens]

Time of Freemen, time of Bondsmen and Time of Soldiers.

Time of Freemen, time of Bondsmen and Time of Soldiers.

Thanks

[HFox]

First roman large format image corrupt in some way, the rest are all good :)

many thanks

Equites Gallorum should have the triangle for "wedge" formation capability.

[mAIOR]

I found a mistake. Lusotanan light spearmen appear with sword as their secondary weapon.


Cheers...

[MiniMe]

Arkatreides, once again we thank you =)

BTW, these maps are compatible with the next EB version, aren't they?
(there was a rumour not so long ago about some minor changes to the map in the next build)

[LorDBulA]

From what I know there where no changes to Recritment or Map done yet.

I am fairly sure they are. I don't know what has gone wrong with the Pheraspidai though - this 'could' be an internal build issue or it could just be a discrepancy between the EDB and the database we use to create it.

[LordCurlyton]

I know there is at least 4 territories that I can recruit Pheraspidai from as the Maks, unless memory fails me (Pella, Demetrias, Antiochaea, Seleukia). Though ironically I can recruit Hypastistai from quite a lot more.
EDIT: In fact, I would think that wherever Pez can be recruited so too can Pheraspidai, or at least it seems that way.

[LorDBulA]

this 'could' be an internal build issue or it could just be a discrepancy between the EDB and the database we use to create it.

I checked this and its not. Checked EB 0.81a our current build with all fixes and EDB shows exactly the same what is shown on recruitment maps.
Pheraspidai are recruited only in 6 provinces by Macedonia.
I also checked description_regions to see if hidden resources are not misplaced for few provinces in question and everything checks out.

If someone is sure that its different please provide save game (must be 0.81a thought ). I cant find even tiny bit of proof that something is not right.

[Arkatreides]

Here is another treat for you - government maps for the factions (green = homeland, yellow=expansion, grey=other). 99% of the credit for these goes to LorDBulA, so thank him, not me!


These cards are designed to go on the back of the general unit cards once those are done btw.

[Spoofa]

fantastic stuff man.

[Shifty_GMH]

Absolutely wonderful work Arkatreides.

[MiniMe]

fantastic stuff man.

...though it provokes some questions
Why is it that some of the Diadochi kingdoms (Maks and AS) can build expansion governments in southern greece (crete, sparta, corinth, athens), while others (Ptoly and Bacteria) cannot?
strange, isn't it...

(BTW, does anybody here on this forum understand my russian-grammar english? truly sorry if I make strange sentences sometimes =)

[Ludens]

Great job again. Are these maps final, or can we expect alterations? I for one would really like to know why the Casse cannot build a type II governement in Erain anymore.

[Cadeyrn]

I for one would like to know why the Averni can't build a type II in Galatia. Don't they even start with a Volcae family member?

And it is, at least to me, a little strange that the Casse has such a huge area where they can build type IIs, far bigger than either of the two other celtic factions.

[pansoiatr]

This project is really getting better and better

[Gazius]

Very cool project, I hope the first page will get updated as this develops.

I've made a pack out of the first post, however this download only lasts a week. I hope somebody can provide a good home for it?

Some awesome work, really appreciate the contribution! Extremely useful reference, keep the great work!

Indeed, post #1 and #3 are constantly updated with the most recent card fronts and backs respectively!

In the future (when it is all done) we will probably bundle this all up and make it downloadable from the EB site.

Don't worry, your english is perfectly fine. Better than many Americans'.

Anyway, part of the problem is deciding how exactly these factions interact with the territory that they would have or would have attempted to conquer. The Ptolemaioi are a much different beast than the Seleukids, both of which are different than the Maks. Essentially, the best answer that I have for these questions (and I am sure that there are other, better answers somewhere in EBH) is that not all factions are created equal. However, there is an ongoing effort to fix and improve recruitment, which is being led by Kull. I imagine that with this the governments will altered as well.

I understand southern Ireland had a great deal of Iberian influence, but the Casse can build type II regions in northern Iberia as well. So why should this Iberian influence be a problem in Ireland, but not in Iberia itself?

Talking about Iberia, will the Lusotannan get a new map as well?

[abou]

I'll try to get the Iberian/Lusotannan guys and Anthony over here to answer your questions, Ludens. I don't want to say something that either I shouldn't or simply hasn't even been decided yet, but also don't want to leave you without an answer.

[Sarcasm]

Yes, they will, they will be far more concentrated in getting those rich southern Iberian provinces and Africa, instead of going north up into Ireland, I think. Still a matter for discussion.
