Are do-nothing factions normal for EB?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

That's actually how we plan all the factions - to not do anything. Good to hear it's working! Might be the first thing we've done right!

Yet another great leap for the EB team!

In my campaign, I have not met Sweboz yet, but Getai is completely passive... They have full stack near their starting city, but did not move it yet, I am watching them for very long time...

The Sweboz in my game are going apeshit all over the steppes...no western or southern expansion, just pure eastern havoc. They did it by boat, too, because I asked them for a map, and they "skipped" a few provinces between their main place and where they've conquered, and the provinces they passed over are undiscovered (are still grey on the map).

In my Makedonian Campaign (atm 213 bc) the Sweboz are expanding pretty well, they are at war with every other faction which sorrounds them (except Karthadstim and the sauromate, with the first they have formed an alliance agains the gauls and the Romans (who are losing, Karthadstim fullstacks are conquering Italia from the south and 2 Sweboz stacks are attacking from the north).

the Getai have done nothing until i have conquered them after 50 years of peacefull coexistence.
The Lusotannan have, too done nothing until Karthadstim begun to conquer them and the provinces sorounding them, but they seem to survive, at least for a while.

you guys are all using RTW.exe instead of BI.exe right?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Just check out the AI progression thread. It shows plenty of examples of BI and RTW campaigns. Sometimes some factions stink it up in a given campaign, while they will tear it up in others. Only the steppe factions and pontos I'd say are consistently woeful. Even those have flashes of brilliance from time to time.

In my Roman campaign, the Getai *1 town* and Sweboz *0 towns* have done nothing, but the Iberians and Armenians are expanding very nicely for a change.

The Steppes/Pontus have been really bad in this one, Saka taking 2 towns, Sarmtians taking their typical 2-3 towns, and Pontus and Parthia being destoryed by the Seleucids
