AI balancing minimod incorporated?

[Dooz]

Not sure if I'm hallucinating or just wishfully thinking, but did I read somewhere that the wonderful mini-mod by Redmeth and Mlp071 will be incorporated into EB 1.0? As you all know it was received very well by the community and everyone felt it improved the EB experience so it would make sense, considering it fixed the most glaring flaw of the mod. If the mini-mod itself isn't implemented, has work been done officially by the team in the same area for similar results?

[bovi]

There has been work on balance. No unofficial mod is taken as is, though. We feel we have achieved a much better balance than in any previous release, but people will probably still find things to change in unofficial mods still.

I did contribute to the making of the EB money script the code was rewritten in a better way by Atilius and bovi. The mercenary recruitment was changed significantly too.

Baktria was the killer in 7x and 080, AS was the killer in 081, now another has taken his place...

[Bootsiuv]

I always thought Baktria was killer .81 as well....they would carve up the AS in at least 75% of my games.

A new monster is present, eh? *wonders who it could be this time*

Ye of little faith! When has the team ever let you down?

[Bootsiuv]

A different Occultus tag....what in the name of God's good green earth does that mean?

Occultus = Hidden. Different Occultus = More Hidden/Different Hidden.

[Bootsiuv]

Well thank you for the extremey vague answer.

[d'Arthez]

As long as it are not the Makedones. But my guess would be the Ptollies.

[Sir-S-Of-TURBO]

Hopefully some of the nomads. Sarmatians keeping eastern europe unsafe would be awesome.

[Xehh II]

Shouldn't it be Rome?

Actually there are two new "factions" in v1.0, and yet at the same time, all the ones from v.8x are still there too, and all are present at the same time. However did they do that, one wonders?

[Bava]

2 new factions?

May i hazard a guess that that has something to do with the new history descriptions for the eleutheroi (Pergamum, Skythia, Belgae)? At least possible provinces for them are mentioned there.

However did they do that, one wonders?

No idea. Batch files?

[Dooz]

I'm thinking it's Eleutheroi, considering there was special attention paid to them in the update on the EB site, as well as the fact that it's the easiest way to add 2 "factions" while still keeping all the old ones. Maybe more specific different types of rebels in some areas or something represeting sub-factions.

Then again, if it's 2 actual new factions then just... wow.


-edit-
Oh, looks like BB had the same idea. I think we're onto something here!

[bovi]

No batch files were harmed during the making of EB.

Pontus is the new monster. It's true, I've managed to hack into all the computers of the testers and in every game everyone but the Casse are getting steamrolled by the light purplish death.
