[von_neurath]

Congratulations for your new release. It is a good submod for the EB.
My question for you would be if you fixed the rebel CTD problem, when using BI.exe. I played your 3.0 mod but once in a while, when there was a rebellion in AI faction, during AI turn, there followed a nasty CTD. When using RTW.exe the CTD almost disapaired.

[Basileus Seleukeia]

Oh, looks very nice. 've been looking forward to that for a long time

Edit: Omg, what did you do? I just installed your mod and found out that every unit has 2 hitpoints and an incredible defence! That's madness! An average battle in EB already lasts long enough. But I like the new units, especially because they have existed and add a lot of realism to the game.

[Thorlof]

1. added rebel city CTD fix, oasis ctd fix, Tuat Celtiberian alliance script fix
2.

Edit: Omg, what did you do? I just installed your mod and found out that every unit has 2 hitpoints and an incredible defence! That's madness!

not this not madness. If play you understad- attack from flank not front.
3.Xhin_Akuma no problem.RoA overwite this file. Some nonhistoric units its only in CB
4.http://files.filefront.com/TBS04rar/.../fileinfo.html this link to TBS 0.4- only 4 files to clean Eb with bi . First link http://files.filefront.com/Reign_of_.../fileinfo.html this is full RoA
5.not only guards flank . historic army hm 25000 sarissafori,21000 heavy and light inf,10000 cav. and some elef and char.

[Basileus Seleukeia]

Ah thanks Thorlof, I've played a few battles and now understand that this isn't madness. This is Sparta
Thanks for the info on the historical army, but I meant something like Thoraktai, but I think this is beyond natural knowledge. I'll better see if I can lay hands on "The Seleucid Army" by Bar-Kochva.

[MindLich]

Good lord. Thorlof, I want to say I liked your mini-mod, and appreciate your hard work. I love the units, but what really put me off was the prolonged battle time, the 2hp for EVERY unit, the exagerated amount of mnai necessary to recruit cavalry, and the 0 turn recruit time. I mean, come on, the enemy will swarm those pesky levies every turn! In my Romani campaign I can build a super army in one season! I really don't like this one, but keep going and thank you.

[Xhin_Akuma]

Question before I download...

I have these submods on the game right now:

1st Cohort Mod
Watchman's EB with BI
Changed Money Scripts
Elephants fix

Will this submod work fine? And does this add more realism, besides the 300? That is the reason I love EB. Thanks in advance.

[Basileus Seleukeia]

Started a Seleucid Campaign now and saw that the Seleucids now have 6 Heavy Assault units to guard the flanks. It's really sad that you can only have 20 units in one army, because so we can never use them all.
Thorlof, do you know how an standard Seleucid Army was built? Perhaps can include all of these units in my army this way, by using historical armys.

[Xhin_Akuma]

Sorry for this post again but what is this download for?

Oh I clicked on the download and it's the TBS 0.4, but doesn't the 1st download link have it already? How come we are given a sepeate link for the TBS?

Sorry for so many questions it's just this sounds soo cool.

[Xhin_Akuma]

This is awesome minimod. I know it's going to be popular.

[Thorlof]

MindLich- Yes this is real in history-Hannibal or Pyrrus destroy one roman army SPQR build another , but if you play hellenistic state uuu this is hard. 1-8 turn recruit time and very high cost of units.

[MindLich]

I think it's just very very exagerated. Maybe you will realize. Anyway I would really like to play this mod if it wouldn't for those things so I will be checking on it. In the meantime I will play Watchman's take on units.

[Xhin_Akuma]

hmm..im having problems now...whenever I get into a campaign (loading or new game), there is no fog of war on the map like I did that toggle_fow console command cheat and I see everything like cities and what's built in them. And whenever I exit the campaign I keep getting CTDs. Are these suppose to happen?

In me game fog of war is happen. I dont now why in your game this not fog of war. In exit, yes ctd but i dont now why i working for this but simple I dont now

[Basileus Seleukeia]

2 tings I noticed: Sab'yns can recruit the new Arabian units only through native MIC. Kinda strange.
Seleucids can't build Indian elephants nor use them in custom battle.
I like the prices of the hellenistic cavalry, but the infantry prices, especially those of the elites are much too high. Roman legionarys cost less than legionaroi and are better. Don't know, but I also think the roman version needs a lower level of MIC.
@Mindlich: I have played some custom battles now to test this mod and I have come to the conclusion that it is not exaggerated. I had a battle against an full Ptolemaic stack and it didn't last much more than half an hour. Those Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi rock now

[Thorlof]

Basileus Seleukeia this is first version .Sab'yans mayby i change this "tings". but Roman legionars is the best killing machin, seleucyd,egypt and Pont legionaroi is only a copy(hm not legal ???)
Mindlich this is not exaggerated, defend always better that attack but if you play in my mod you understand what happen if Ai attack with flank.

[Basileus Seleukeia]

Yeah.... If I could read your post without my eyes hurting I would be able to say this more politely, but what the heck is that:
-new building to Seleucid, Ptolemaioi, Pontus- Legionarioi but huge cost an time
What is this bunch of words supposed to tell me?
Well, I think first verions are made for being criticised so that you can make things better, right?

[Pharnakes]

I can't download this, when I tried it would get to anything from 3% to 30%, then stop downloading. When I clicked off the downloader and onto it again, it would no longer say % complete, but "file download". I tried several times and the registered for file front incase that would make any difference, but now I can't even get onto the file info screen from the link, as the page dosen't load. I have tried saving the target of the link and then oppening the page from the desktopbut that dosen't work either. I have also tried logging out of fileshack but that doesen't seem to help either. Any help would be appricated.

Thanks guys.

I realy want to play this mod, please, please has anybody got any suggestions how to sucesefuly download this mod?




Edit: Sorry no need to bother, I just downloaded it at a friends house

[Pharnakes]

Does this mod include fixed money scripts?

[Basileus Seleukeia]

As far as I can see, it doesn't. Just use Redmeth's ore The_Errant's, they're far better than the standard EB-MoneyforendlessAIhordes-Script.

[Lysander13]

Question for Thorloff...

I've been looking thru the formations_ai.txt files for both your TBS.31 version and now your current RoA version of this file. The current RoA version is pretty much completely altered from your .31 version. Rather, i should say, certain values were completely changed. To be more specific i'll use 2 of the most changed lines.

default_melee_state

block_relative_pos

These 2 values you've changed significantly from your .31 version to your current RoA version of the _ai.txt file. I'm assuming you've tested these changes along with the others you made in this file as it relates to AI behavior on the battlefield. Would you be kind enough to share your findings??
I'm very interested in attempting to improve AI battlefield behavior in my version of EB and i'm using your .31 version as a base for experimenting and testing. Unfortunately, my recreational time is somewhat limited so i don't get to test as often as i'd like. So any insights on your findings as it relates to the changes you've made would be appreciated.

[intensewarrior]

your ideas of the inca civilization interest me.
i believe that one day we will be able to live like they once did
thats like saying king arthur was a king

i want to be an inca ruler
it is so pationately amazing
i would love to rule you all
and be the intense warrior that i am

[intensewarrior]

You ood-for-nothin empiror.
Ho do you feel insultin hat I deeply believin.
Your ords were deep . . . . in h***!!!!!!

[CrownOfSwords]

Ok well I played as Epeirus now and I found that i could recruit taratine and syracusin hoplites. I think you should change some of the old numbers back and I think you should take away the 2HP it makes some battles go for a rediculously long time. But as far as unit numbers I think all the phalanx units should go back from 150 to 240. The elite units with only 100 is good though and I think the non elite cavalry units should go back to their original size as well.

[Thorlof]

And if the Athenian hoplites arent available why start them in the campaign??? I want to be able to retrain them!

recruit "athenian_hoplite" 0 requires factions { greek_cities, } and hidden_resource SW and hidden_resource C and hidden_resource y1 and hidden_resource y2 and hidden_resource n4 and hidden_resource y8
You mus copy this line to EDB to the barracks greek_city faction - city_barracks_I1, army_barracks_I1, royal_barracks_I1. but this is units from IVcentury not III.

I think you should take away the 2HP it makes some battles go for a rediculously long time. But as far as unit numbers I think all the phalanx units should go back from 150 to 240. The elite units with only 100 is good though and I think the non elite cavalry units should go back to their original size as well.

I working with 1hp but this is long way to end. Unit numbers - this is 2 EDU. 1 with historical number (1/10) and more power to barbarians. Standard civilized -100inf, 50cav., barbarian-200inf, 80cav. But, barbarians is good in attack but defend is very poor.
2. file in -2hp with eb number soldiers- this is orginal numbers of troops from EB

[Augustus Ceasar]

Hey
King of the Kings
How wanted to know if they is a Reign of Ares 2.0 ???
With all your new units ????

[Marcus Publius]

Is this mod compatible with EB 1.0?

[Malik of Sindh]

Im sure it isn't
