Re: Capitals
Though I suspect it would be hard to accomplish, it would be rather nice.
I mean, if Scipio Africanus had somehow miracously destroyed Carthage in the 2nd PW then he would very unlikely have been forced to run half the Mare Nostrum just to finish the Carthaginians of. Punic culture could have lived on in a few areas, but without central authority it would be every Punic colony for itself, and many of these were not even willing to fight Rome, at least not to the death.

I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.
Re: Capitals
An EB member wrote once that they were working on a crumbling-empire script (for EB1) that would do about what you suggested. However, it hasn't been mentioned recently.
Re: Capitals
:-\ That would break the AI. The AI doesn't respond well to sneak attack or guard their capitols very well. At any rate, a human player would really make it hard to make a script like this.

Re: Capitals
Yeah, I'm playing EB 1.0 and I thought I saw something in the fact about alerts describing the break-up of the Seleukid Empire, if it happened. However, playing as the Pahlava, the Seleukids are about as "broken-up" as they're going to be(restricted to Asia Minor), and I've seen nothing. So was that another part of the script that had to be removed, like Alexander's body being moved to Pella?

Re: Capitals
romans sacked cteciphon more than 3 times , in byzantine area they sacked more than 5times but both sassanids and parthians recovered from demolishing bt of course sassanids replaced parthians after such a huge defeat and were even not powerful to supress their own staphs...

Re: Capitals
maybe faction-specific effects of a loss of the capital. in example in the Romani lose rome then south Italy, sicily, sardinia, and corsica will revolt OR defect to whoever took it (like in 2nd Punic War)

Re: Capitals
Rome and Phyrros raided Pella several times also , but the makedonians werent destroyed inmediatly...
perhaps if several revel armies or unrest appears...
but that would add too much to the EBBS script I think so... 'm not sure ifits worth it
