EB Recruitment Viewer Released!

[Krusader]

Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans.

Today we have something we hope people will love, the previously mentioned Recruitment Viewer.

Go here to download it

You can use the Recruitment Viewer to basically view the recruitment zones for the EB units ingame and which MIC level they need and also if factional or regional MIC.

NOTE: For more information check the manual that follows the installer. Please check it before posting for any help in the forums, but be warned that most EB members don't know the specific details of the program.

Big thanks to LordBula for making this program and Kull & blacksnail for helping out. There are probably others worthy of thanks, but can't recall them at the moment, but thank you.

This is very cool and the first time ever I've wanted dual DVI for two monitors. I do want to know if the source will become available because I would like to also create a mode in which you can select a region and it will just RW to a text field all the units possible for every government type/MIC with a selected faction instead of doing it on a per unit basis. If the source is not possible then I will add it to a wishlist for new feature

ex:
select faction: Makedonia

click on map (interactive) or select territory from a list

display

MIC 1 Native
------------
x unit
x unit
x unit

MIC 2 Native
------------
x unit
x unit

etc...

Wow, this is terrific. It's a really great program, very well done once again EB. Although there seems to be a discrepancy, possibly. I'm not absolutely positive, so I'll check as soon as I can, but I haven't been able to recruit the Silurian warband in the province I should be able to, with an MIC up to the level I'm supposed to have it. Is there a government type restriction on there as well?

I think it might relate to the MIC, not the level but the type... I'm not clear on one thing. From the manual on the site - "Other options can appear depending on which faction is selected. Note that the MIC number that appears is just a unique way to uniquely identify a specific MIC building in the R:TW code."

Now for the unit I'm talking about, it appears I need the MIC type of 21 as indicated by the unit details, but I'm not sure what that is. Is it relevant in any way or am I misunderstanding something?

[blacksnail]

It's internal coding - substitute the letter for the letter of the alphabet and that's the MIC it matches. So, 21 would be barracks_U, 4 and 5 would be barracks_D and barracks E.

[Dooz]

Are those separate from Regional or Foreign barracks?

[blacksnail]

Factional barracks begin at A and end somewhere in the middle of the alphabet. Regional barracks begin at Z and end somewhere around T.

In other words, it's all internal notation for EB isolation of barracks coding and will likely be of marginal use to the average user of the Recruitment Viewer.

[Dooz]

Ok, so then it probably has nothing to do with the inability to recruit Silurian warbands. Maybe the foreign barracks weren't up to level 3 as they're supposed to be, and I thought they were... when I can confirm, I'll check back in just in case there is a recruitment error on their part.

Thanks blacksnail!

There is no plan to release the sourcecode.

You can see what units are available for faction in specific province in "Province Details" dialog.
You can open this dialog by Manu "View" > "Province Details" or by key combination ( Ctrl + p ). Check Manual for details.
You can also copy data from list by marking rows You are interested in and pressing ( Ctrl + c ).
You can then paste it to whatever program You like.

[skuzzy]

Sorry for the post without fiddling enough. This is perfect, thanks!

[Little Legioner]

Excellent job again! You guys show the people how is gonna be a perfect mod made of. Maps, artworks, recruitment guide etc etc. Infact i can't call your mod as a mod this a complete game.

I do not mean any CA bashing intent but they should have a look at your project and inspire their team again. Again about historic accuracy, detail work, serious strategic warfare and such.

Back to topic. There is no "can i recruit that unit, those phalanx" thread anymore. Every single question find it's answer within that program. I was thinking to ask couple of question this morning but no need to do that anymore.

I warmly shake your hands and offer my best wishes.

[blacksnail]

I suspect with CA it is very much "this would be neat if we could put this in but a) it won't sell and b) we don't have the time or money to do so" - the painful reality of computer game development. It's why I shake my head when people complain about how company X doesn't support modding. But anyway, that's off-topic.

Enjoy the Recruitment Viewer, it is the reason you have 1.0.

[Tellos Athenaios]

It's also the reason why Arka's front sides were numbered rather than named...

[Dram]

thanks very much

[Lysander13]

This sounds great...Look forward to getting home to try it out.

[Oleander Ardens]

Brilliant work. I could now really use a second screen

[Digby Tatham Warter]

Very useful tool, thanks alot.

[Subedei]

Still can't play EB 1.0 but had a look at the unit viewer....DELUXE!

[pezhetairoi]

Oh YES! Excellent.

[Jaywalker-Jack]

One little problem with it, Baktrian Hetairoi Kataphraktoi dont seem to have been included, where can I recruit them?
Other than that the recruitment viewer is pure brilliance!

[abou]

You can't recruit them. They are just a bodyguard unit.

Use your Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi instead.

Alt-Tab combo helps me a lot =)

Will this program work on a computer that does not have RTW:EB installed?

[LorDBulA]

Will this program work on a computer that does not have RTW:EB installed?

Yes. It works independently from RTW.
