Minor improvements

[Foot]

We cannot mod the abilities of agents. That means assassins can't anything but the job they do in MTW2. We will of course change the models and skins of these agents. You can expect to see a bit more work in this area than seen in EBI.

With more control over recruitment we'll be able to better control the spamming of elites (a problem we didn't want see happening in EBI). However with the new building system in EBII, we can better represent the differing levels of development across the map, while still allowing cities to be developed by the player. Rome in 14AD was drastically different from Rome in 272BC, so having Rome at the peak of its development in 272BC would be an awful state of affairs.

but what bout Athens? Alexandria? Pella? Seleukeia? Karhidon?

Be assured that our historians will deal with each province separately and as a whole, so that each province will be given the care and attention it needs while also taking into account the full system spanning the whole EBII map and faction list. Rome was an example, not a be all and end all.

I think Macedonia still was in quite some disorder after the celtic invasion, and with Pyrrhos running rampant in the countryside, which could be well represented by having Pella not too well developed.

And what is Karhidon? Is that Karchedon, as in Carthage?

Ah, yes another thing:

+ The ringing bells when the message of a marriage celebration appears. Please switch them off or replace them

[General Appo]

Why? I think it would really help if you gave a reason why.

[Puupertti Ruma]

Well, ringing bells in marriage ceremonies is as far as I know a predominantly christian tradition. Having that in a game depicting a non-christian era would be quite odd, don't you think :)
