Unhappy Carthaginian player

[Moros]

If you want to play a faction that feels incomplete, try Getai (who don't even have a real bodyguard by now, using a low-tier spearman unit for their family members) or to a lesser extent Sab'yn (they are a lot of fun nevertheless!).

I'm sorry.

On a positive note, three factional tribal units are set on the to-do list (which will give much more difference between choosing for tribal or "imperial" government trees), two of which will feature a late upgrade. The bedouin units (mercs and widely avaible regionals) are also on the shortlist. Yes this includes a camel unit. Sadly it will be unlikely that our shortlist will be finished off for the next release (the summer release). With some luck some Arabian units might make it in though we will see.

I'm sorry.

Stupid me.
Reading your answer I first wondered what you are apologizing for, then I re-read my words which you quoted .... and now I feel the need to apologize myself.
That statement about the "incomplete feel" of some factions was not meant as a complaint in any way, not at all. I'm dearly sorry if it came over as such.

What I tried to say was that the Sab'yn lack access to some of the units (like the Red Sea axemen or some cavarly other than the Horse Archers - the awesome Ethiopian Cavalry for example) that were pretty crucial for any Sab'yn campaign in EB I.
"a faction that feels incomplete" is therefore a wrong term - I should have said "a faction that lacks crucial units in my personal opinion", especially since the units/the battles are - while being an important part of any TW game - not necessary the decisive part when it comes to how a factions feels to play.

Sab'yn are - together with Hayasdan and Carthage - actually my favourite faction in EB 2 so far (same as in EB 1).

I thought that my following words "(they are a lot of fun nevertheless!)" had made clear that my intent was not to discard any of the effort and love to detail that went into the arabian factions.


Well, in the future I shall re-read twice instead of once before posting. Bloody stupid language barrier!


EDIT: Thank you for the hints about the future releases. Interesting stuff.
EDIT 2: A camel unit! Gods, I can't express how much I'm looking forward to such!

Having sorted my problem thanks to help from Quintus and playing a Carthage campaign I can see why one may miss the depth of variety of units and the late game units. If we are only seeing 40% of the units then I can't wait for the completed mod. Currently playing as Hayasdan and enjoying it, strangely the Seleucids have left me alone and we're well over 100 turns in.
