Princess in EBII

[oudysseos]

Is stealing enemy generals really so bad? First of all I don't think it's all that common- I hardly ever succeeded with it when I tried out DLV and PDER. And even if you do have to odd general switching sides- that occasionally did happen. Ptolemy Keraunos, for a perfect example. Coriolanus, maybe. Polybius, even. The 'marriage' part could be considered abstractly, the same way that a 'Man of the Hour' turns up in the family tree as someone's son or husband. I think the team should consider leaving it in- bribing generals hardly ever works unless you have a huge bank balance.

Princesses roaming free in the wild? Yeah right...ditch the unhistorical princesses, please!

[Subotan]

Presumably they have guards as well. But no snake charmers.

Stealing high-rank generals with high charm princess is an art on itself, at least you can expect that your daughter can betray you and follow that man instead. The only thing I would say about princess in EB II is:
- All diadochian (and hence nearly all greeks except Koinon Helennon), must have princesses
- Kardhastim, Phalavans, and easterners can have princess.
- The barbarians can have princess too (but what's the point to give such unwashed girl a hand?)


At least with princess, you didn't have to use assasin's blade against high-rank uber generals that still bachelors...

They ran out of money for the bridge...

It is too bad you can't represent their wives as ancillaries and tie them to traits. IE. If you move a wife from one guy to another, the guy who gets her turns into an adulterer, the guy who he got it from gets ++ fertility. Quite possible you could have one guy boning everyone's wife. Or something. If only you could kill ancillaries.

[Yyrkoon]

ancillaries disappear with the general...just load all your crappy ancillaries onto a guy you don't like and send him on a kamakazi mission.

In M2TW you can remove ancillaries actually. In RTW you couldn't.

Wow! How??? I remember when I was playing M2TW for two weeks (I quit as I could not stand it), one of my FMs got the Pagan Magician, which does nothing but take off 2 Piety. I did not have a "trash can" general yet, so I just left the FM as he was.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

You can use remove_ancillary cheat.

remove_ancillary "Character name" "ancillary name"
example: remove_ancillary "Aemilius Paulus" "magician_pagan"

In RTW this thing doesn't work but it works in M2TW.

To qoute Mel Gibson: "The bridge got in the way."
To qoute local Scott: "That´s what the English found too."

Actually, eleutheroi generals are quite easy to bribe. I once bought 2 generals, all arabians, early on in my 1st AS campaign.

Kudos to strategos roma for attempting to save the second babe thread from being locked due to off topic posts.

well, rather than posts the whole ahistorical princess in bikini, who have a historical image about hellenistic princess (put aside XXX version of cleopatra)
