Will there be anything in EB2 that you'll have to CUT?

I don't know that we have discussed "switching them off" though. We are talking about the potential problems and such to be sure.

LorDBulA, wouldn't it make sense then to wait until the buildings had been reskinned and release EB2 with siege battles included (essentially releasing what would have otherwise been 2.1 or 2.2)? Or would people rather get the new factions quickly and not mind playing with (in my mind) such a large part of the game unavailable?

That would take an incredibly long time. Not to mention, personally I dont think siege battles are all that big a part of the game. I rarely play them myself since theyre so hard to realistically depict. Dont get me wrong they'll be fun once we get the buildings looking right.

We'll be cutting the Romani faction.

I concur, I pretty much auto-play sieges. The only ones that are pretty enjoyable are only when they sally, so the city is only a prop.
The palisade sieges with rams are passable but the ones versus walled cities become boring and annoying after a few tries, so yeah bring on EB2 as long as autocalc and when playing VH auto_win (for those cases where the AI general is almost invincible on VH) work.

Yeah, I've been rolled back to working full time on the Bartix.

I don't think you should disable sieges battles, leave the option to fight them, for people who want it or for when it's necessary, those who don't want them untl they can play the full experience can just not do the siege battles.

I hear you. Their recruitment is a stone-cold mess. Why the hell does one faction need 5 different MICs at the same time?

Well when you recruit elephant cataphract chariots driven by ninjas... on camels!, let me see you use only 1 MIC. Even the mighty and resourceful Bartix needed a lot of MICs for their diverse recruitment roster.

Hey don't look at me... I didn't write this part of history...

Are we talking about MTW2 or EB?

I admit, I tended to get alittle confused as to why Constantinople couldn't build Varangians despite having the highest level barracks. Until I realized that it was a city, not a castle, and that for some reason, despite the Varangians being infantry, I needed to build some stables. WTF?
