Any interst in an EB succession game?

[KuKulzA]

I have the AI balancing mod. I do not have the city-mod. Are we sure we want to use the city-mod? what advantages would it confer to this succession game?

so we are settled on Koinon Hellenon eh? The basic guideline rules seem good, a few questions though

can you put a family member in a city, que up a building and then leave? or must your man be hangin' around till the building is complete?
just a question in response to the rule of having the general IN a city before you can build in it....

also, when you are playing can you use other's characters or ONLY your own? and if only your own will people remember to put their folks back in their homeland cities?


I'm not very familiar with Greeks, so I would prefer to not be first up, and it'd be great if you guys have frequent updates and pictures on the main succession-game thread

thanks all

It will simply make for a more realistic game, as cities are limited by how much they can grow. That way, every town in europe isn't a huge city after 30 years into the game. It will also make recruiting more realistic, as you'll have to worry about population of your lands a little more.

You can order a governor in, build the building que and then leave. I've actually been thinking about relaxing this rule a little bit, mostly because Rhodes could be out of a governor for 8-10 years, unless someone can be appointed governor before Rhodios Jr. comes of age. If we decide to disband our opening fleet, it could be decades before Rhodes has a governor again.

If we are going to use the route of independent city-states, we'll have to draw up a budget at the beginning of a kings reign, where governors and citizens of the city discuss they're options, and send in a build order. For the sake of time, the Hegemon has the ability to veto any building requests which he thinks are not in the best interests of the Koinon.

The leader can move around units as he sees fit, but he cannot change governors or leading generals without first asking the council. A faction leader also cannot declare war unless he has a majority of votes from the council.

Just some ideas I've been having. We'll likely iron things out during the first few reigns.

We'll almost certainly be going in the order which people signed up, so you won't be first. I think it means I will.

Many thanks!
I'll look into getting the city-mod and do a lil research on the Greek tech-tree and units

I'm beginning to wonder if installing city mod over ai balancing mod-roleplaying version will have any effect i.e. are the two mods compatible?

If anyone out there knows the answer to this question, I would appreciate the help.

By the way, what difficulty level do you guys prefer? I usually play at H/M. VH/M is a pain in the arse. VH/VH is damn near impossible. I think M/M or H/M would be the best choices (I prefer H/M).

Once we figure out the last few things like difficulty level, I'll assign characters.

I gotta pull out, I won't have access to EB for a while.

[Bobolicious]

I can go either m/m or h/m, but i prefere m/m.

No problem.

BTW, I know I wanted to start tonite, but I'm still curious about which difficulty level to play. I'll wait until tommorrow morning to wait and see what others have to say, although I'm now leaning towards M/M, so the less experienced players will have an enjoyable time.

vh/m is my choice, It's always given me the most riveting challenge.
