ALEXANDER EB

[Maksimus]

Hi,

@JAG ty i was worried you ment whole map

@Principe Alessandro
I made alot of balance on greece so its more interesting

I need @HLord to confirm if that general will be ok since I left a Baktrian general in Seleuc settlement xD

[HLord]

Yay, it worked fine! Thanks. :)
Too bad they annihilated me with the phalangites.

By the way, when I had an AI sally from the fort they never moved while the battle lasted. I always have to quit and then we get a draw. They just stand they like if they were waiting for me to attack. Can this be becouse of the spy who opened the gates? Maybe they think I will attack them first?

Hmm pastorialism looks good with the added trade bonus, but I guess I'll stick with nomadism for the grand horse archers.

[Maksimus]

i have uploaded new fixes in one pack at the main post :D

[Principe Alessandro]

But the chinese units are recruitable? i prefer not mainly because I don't like its unit cards

[Maksimus]

hehe

Yes they are in Sulek and also there you can get some of them as mercenaries

[Principe Alessandro]

hehe

Yes they are in Sulek and also there you can get some of them as mercenaries

sincerly their unit cards are orrible

[Maksimus]

i know they are not made by me but Zhangou Team

[Principe Alessandro]

Ok very small issue but not very important, is only aesthetically ugly, the name of the smiths workshop

[Maksimus]

Im playing awesome battles vs hiero and greek rebels.

The traitors of region fight me with the rebel army of messana, a battle of 6000 vs 6000 lol.
After, with Cartaginians and then Hiero and the garrison. Absolutly awesome battles Maksimus, im amusing as a child. The sensation of roleplay is enormous.

But i think that enemy faction must be more agressive. Im at war with aedui and their armys dont invade my territories, only fight my armies when im in their province. With Karthadast the same, in the fought of sicily, they only attack me when my armies whre in her province, not in messana or siracusa.

[Maksimus]

its problem because those 2 factions have divided teritroy by land or water.. so cant work as a whole and countrattack good, since AI is confused. Well go to greece and you will see

[juba1]

hi maksimus,

I have 7z and winrar installed but I cant extract u new officail fixe folder, when i select it to DL ites indicate that i will DL a 450Ko folder but once DLed i only have a 109Ko folder which i can openw with rar or 7z , so it will be nice if u can confirm that u uploaded the right file, or try to up on megaupload or other...

And, just to say that I dont understand why pontus dont have a blacksmith (17 turns), in my campaign I had to take seleucid cities (really easily) in anatolie in order to get a blacksmith, but it is no more question to go take antioch...so I think that the pontus campaign is not well balanced bcs now its really easy to take selucide cities in turky...may be army less numerous but with a blacksmith in the capital...

[Maksimus]

can you post me your save game

[Maksimus]

link on the first page is working..


oh btw :D

pls post your empire here :D
and battle screens

[gamerdude873]

Well, I can't say that i'm having the same problems with AI. I think the reason why the Ai isn't moving is because the Eleutheroi are so strong, and they don't have the armies to overcome them. So they "ignore" Eletheroi controlled provinces and don't no where to go, or are stuck trying to beat them. Either way, the factions appear to not be moving. I'd love to post my screenshot, but my internet sucks and the connection breaks everytime i try to upload to photobucket or imageshack.

[Maksimus]

hi,

one page back you can see that factions take rebel province but much slower which is much more historical and also more fun (game lasts till 14AD)

[gamerdude873]

Oh i missed that post. My bad. Ty

[Maksimus]

i would need more save games do if possible with suggestions

[NightStar76]

Interesting game, though I have mixed feelings about it. The generals, for instance, at the beginning seem too much. They bankrupt an economy very quickly, especially in view of the fact that every building in the game now takes far longer to build. You either need to lower unit upkeep costs or speed up construction. Other than that, very good implementation of the Alexander engine.

[Maksimus]

hi,
Constructions times are greater since it was very unhistorical to have all Cities large and huge before 100bc. Also, generals may be revised in upkeep, but thats a simple edu tweak.

[Panzer_Sturmovik]

Its been gerat so far with the ai as you have told have atleast 1 conquered province but the steppes have been quite a ww1 style of capmpaign u lose that u gain this sort of playing as the red faction on the top corner.. meanwhiel rome conquiered medloaium but has benn cut off by the aeduie at bologna and segesta hehe I fear for rome

[Maksimus]

and you guys like the cavarly now?

[gamerdude873]

and you guys like the cavarly now?

Well I haven't faced any psycho calvary yet that can't be stopped with a tank corp, so I guess yes! Still I haven't quite gotten to eastern provinces with the romani so this could change.

I may have found a bug with Mercenary Bosphoran Infantry. I tried to load a battle with them in it and it said:

Error: File name doesn't exist: bi/data/models_unit/BI_unit_bosphoran_infantry_lod1.cas

Perhaps a bad file path?

[Maksimus]

fixed

i had my bi instaled when I was testing it

new officiall fix link is in the main page

[Principe Alessandro]

You are going also to implement for the future the Extended offices mod?

[Maksimus]

Most likelly not,

Since I dont belive it will fit in AlxEb sensitive trait system (can make some strange disbalance in the future considering that bonuses are strong). Also the mod is a trait adition to some factions only, which may be nice for the hellenic and eastern factions, while at the same time is making other faction backwarded (coz of the trait bonuses others will miss ).

[Slaists]

Now I am confused. If I want to play EB 1.2 with the Alexander.exe do I need to install this file:
"EB12_on_ALX.exe"? If I need to install it where do I unzip it to? If I target my EB directory, the rar would create a subdirectory called "..\EB12_on_ALX.exe!\eb\data". that doesn't sound right. I suppose the files should go into "EB\data" instead. However, the rar file has been created to create that "EB12_on_ALX.exe!\eb\data" directory. How do I work around it? Copy each file manually?

[Maksimus]

hi,

''EB12_on_ALX.exe'' is just a set of packed files you need to unpack into your RTW data folder if you want to use Alexander AI only. When you open ''EB12_on_ALX.exe'' you see there is EB folder. That eb folder goes wherever your instaled Eb folder is.

I have even uploaded eb.exe with modified target line so ppl can just download.

Eaem is something else, its a full modification and you dont need the files above to play it (exept well tweaked *exe file).
