The EBII Recruitment thread

[V.T. Marvin]

As for the bite-size pieces: the file is organized into "sections" and currently the one most complained about is the "Secondary traits/triggers" section resuting in generals getting too many negative traits too often (reportedly).

The other big issue is the "anti-trait bug" which was discovered only very late in mod's development. This bug results in attributes sticking on character after a trait giving them n th first place has been removed by an antitrait. Optimally we should remove all antitraits and use negative awards (Affect [trait] [negative value] Chance [chance value]) instead.

And of course there is a huge potential for creativity and new mechanisms - for instance you will notice that in the section devoted to factio-specific traits many factions has literally nothing at the moment...

And yes, it was all written by hand. If you will actually help here it would be awesome. I will try to offer as much help and advice as I could (feel free to PM me) because my time is now too constrained by RL to actually review the file over again.

If you go to the bug forums, I believe I may have found the reason why generals are getting too many negative traits (bug in ICE generation), and offered a solution. Can you please explain to me the anti-trait bug? I was reading some guides on traits, and I suspect it is solved by setting the "NoGoingBackLevels" to a number strictly above the highest threshold for the trait prevents the trait being entirely lost when an anti-trait gains a level, and merely increments it down. If we're not talking about the same thing let me know.

If what I read in the guides is correct, some of the traits have been made to respect this bug, and others not. In these other cases "NoGoingBackLevels" are set that even if you increment by negative numbers, these traits will not go down, breaking your intended system of working around AntiTraits.

I would actually quite like to overhaul the traits and prevent the bugs you talk of, but I am also time limited (thesis due in 6 months), but it would be a nice way to procrastinate hehe.

hey, guys. seeing that your only Hayastan coordinator has dissapeared, I could help with research on Armenia (and possibly Pontus), if/when needed. PM me if anything, I'll be glad to help.

cheers

Hi guys
I 've been a fan since EB1 and all I can say is that it changed the way I look at PC games!
I 'll be glad to help with decriptions or historical info about Pontos, Macedonia and Greece.
I have a degree at Law and a second degree at Balkanic and Black Sea Literature and History.
I'm also a native Greek speaker (plus Pontic dialect speaker)

Hey guys!

Firstly - I'm sorry I sort of disappeared quietly last time you asked me to do concept art. I had a tough time finishing university and starting a full time illustration business. Simply - I had no time and will to do any art beside work.

Secondly - congratulations on the release! I have no idea which parts of the mod are done, but I assume the visuals are mostly fine? I think I could do some CA/promo art for you again, but I wonder if there's any need for that any more.
Anyway, if you'd like me to do something for EB2, shoot me an email. (or a PM, although I'm less likely to respond to that quickly)

so you guys dont have nobody dealing with the audio ?

Ive seen quite a few of you apppreciated this guy work with his new battle sounds. Why not inviting him here! Are you going to include his submod in the mod anyway?

he initially done this for the Russians of Natus Ob Imperium so it will not be that original.



To be honest I dont have anythign against borrowing stuff from these guys. If they didnt ask for permissions for some of their stuff this asked favor would be once again even more righteous. They are quite ahead with their mod and you guys could use soem of their stuff.


what other ranks need to be fiiled? The recruitment thread OP is still up to date? Scripters, Historians for estaern regions, skinners etc?
