Recruiting Iberi Lancearii with the Lusotann?

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Nope unsuccesful, I got a CTD

I don't get it, I put back the original (backup) and still get CTD's.
Am I not allowed to change stuff? haha

Seems like I have to reinstall everything again :P

****! Sorry that I messed up your game. If you've done the changes like I described in the "guide" earlier everything should logically be working. BTW do you use Notepad? Because sometimes, at random it seems the EB files are too big for Notepad to handle so it breaks the files, all of them. Try using Notepad++http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm it handles larger files better than regular Notepad. I should have mentioned this earlier.

That's true for the Carthaginians, but not for the Lusotanians. Also, according to the recruitment viewer, they require a level 5 barracks for the Lusotanians (type I government only) and a level 4 for the Carthaginians (type III or IV government). They are only available in Carpetania, Edetania and Lacetania (and technically Bastetaia and Turdetania, but IIRC you can't install type I government here). Are you sure you can't recruit them when these conditions are met?

Which recruitment viewer Do you use? In my one, which was part of the downloads of EB 1.1 and 1.2 it is said, that lusotannan can recruit iberian units only in regional barracks. And I think that makes scence, because the iberians should not be seen as part of the Lusotannan and if you want to have iberian units, you need to give some of your iberian provinces some kind of freedom (Lvl III and IV Government). Historical wise I'd believe, that the whereas Carthaginian use of iberian soldiers is proofed, no Lusotannan ever ruled over the eastern Iberians.

The only thing which disturbs me is that the northern iberian skirmishers are seen as native soldiers...

I think the use of factional and regional barracks to differentiate the various warriors across the Iberian penninsula is meant to represent the different cultures present in the area during this timeframe. You have peoples heavily influenced by the Celts such as the Galicians, and Celtiberians. Others like the various Iberii soldiers are much more native Iberian in their culture and style of warfare. Unless I'm mistaken, the Lusotann have Celtic influences so it makes some sense that Iberian units need regional barracks.

For example, look further north and see that the Siluri Warband in Western Britain are regional units for the Casse. This represents their unique culture among the other various Brittanic peoples.

No sweat mate :P
It doesn't mather, I install EB in 20 minutes plus all the fixes.
Now I think I give it a rest, and just have to accept it. It's probably me who is doing it wrong.

However you still deserve a balloon for your devotion
Here ya go:

No idea, sorry. Everything on my computer had to be reinstalled, so I can't tell which RV version I was using for that post.

People why do you guys LOVE to use computer entries to play the game and manipulate it to your liking. I mean you play a game to beat it honestly don't you? I mean what's the point if every game allowed you to beat it with no challenge whatsoever?

There is your thread.

The 220th time the Saba siege your AS settlement of Hierosolyma with just enough crappy troops to make sure that the ordinary auto_resolve would favour them, while not at all bothering to come up with enough, to actually provide a challenging - or even just mildly interesting - battle map experience, and you HAVE to wait 5-10 minutes for the battle map to load, then wait 5-10 minutes for the Saba to suicide on your arrow towers and far superior Hellenic infantry, AND then wait 5-10 minutes for the campaign map to load again (provided you don't CTD), well, you start to feel somewhat attracted to the concept of the auto_win cheat.

Also if you really like a faction but have already played it many times (AS for me) manipulating the faction itself or perhaps the surrounding factions to alter the course of their actions can add new excitement to what would otherwise be a boring repetition of well-tried strategies.

BTW actually this thread isnt about beating the game by way of cheats. Making it easier to get 1 unit in Iberia won't blow open the entire world for him, now will it? It's not like those good old cheat codes in Age of Empires that game you astronauts shooting red laser at everything (why aren't they in EB btw? I'm getting really nostalgic just thinking about them. I might even have AoE somewhere, perhaps I should install it ;D)

Um.. just because one change the game doesn't mean it's have to go out of hand, like being able to recruit Hetairoi in Irland.
Adding units for factions through entries can be a great way to roleplay reforms for example. Just because you add units or change recruitment possibilities doesn't mean the game suddenly lacks challenge. Don't tell people how they are to play the game.
