Maksimus, if you think that saying something like this will help promote your otherwise great idea of ALEX EB MOD you're wrong.Originally Posted by Maksimus
Carthage has been pillaging spain for centuries. And romans weren't sitting and waiting for Hannibal arrival. Therefor everything you propose here is completely ahistorical
Like I've said recently someplace else, changing almost everything is not an option.
Carthage behavior in all campaigns is perfect. They do what they are supposed to do. And as a "corner nation" they have all they need.
I see three main problems of Rome Total War engine:
1. we don't know how to make Romanis more south-aggressive and drug them to Africa;
2. we don't know how to make horse-archer based armies more successful and thus enable steppe domination for steppe-dwellers. Well, as for this we may have found the way to solve it by adding fractional hitpoints to all horsies (light horse-archers and horse skirmishers 1.2 HP, medium horsies 1.4 HP, heavy horsies like hetanks/kinsmen/molossons 1.6 HP, catanks 1.8 HP) but this is still to be tested
3. we don't know how to portray mutual Ptolemaioi and Selevkia empires decline that ended in their collapse
3 may be solved by scripting methinks
as per 1, it simply makes me go mad
and one more thing: posting your posts in huge size does not make them more persuasive. Friend, you are heard by those who wants to hear you, without it ;-)
What it does achieve, though, is that other people posts are lost inbetween yours and thus whole dispute collapses for all but most patient ;-)
