I for one would love to see this mod get the proper attention it deserves. With addition of new units, buildings, and perhaps few more scripts, this mod could be so much more! I am not much of a...

So, I've just recently downloaded this mod and started playing as Tharbad. Yet I'm completely perplexed as to why my faction income continues to go down even though I'm not increasing my military. In...

I know how to set up first and last names in descr_names file, but I'm having trouble setting it up so that the father's surname passes on to his children? Anyone?

6. Ptolemaic dynasty ruled over Egypt during that time, not Egypt as was portrayed in vanilla Rome Total War.

I'm looking for some nice atmospheric songs to add in my export_descr_music file. I was never really a big fan of the old EB1 music, but I really like the new songs added in EB2. They're much better...

Notice that EB2 is still under development. It has lots of great features that EB1 doesn't possess, but the current battles are rather..cumbersome. EB1, on the other hand, is well refined and a much...

Tell me exactly which part of having 9 full stacks of enemy army appear out of nowhere is great. Each one of those stacks have about 6 or 7 elite units. Like other people mentioned, the said tribe...

Hey, I was simply asking because I wasn't sure if it really happened. No need to take my comments as challenge to you and turn this into an argument. Insulting me doesn't get this conversation...

Diplomacy with AI is generally pointless, even in EB2 as far as I know. Plus, destroying Sauromatae is a victory condition for Bosporan kingdom.

I feel exactly the same way.

Right..the example you gave is about entire tribes who were desperate to escape from Germanic invaders. The case Sint gave was about whether a faction can control a large scale movements of their...

After a long struggle with Sauromatae as Bosporan kingdom, I finally managed to beat Sauromatae armies and take down their last settlement. As soon as I did, the game lagged for about 1 minute,...

1. I mentioned that they would of lower quality because their loyalty would lie with their country of origin. Remember what happened when Roman empire started using mercenaries instead of their...

I'm a little confused by this statement. In the first place, why would a successor state want to give away its citizens to some random Greek state who might pose a threat one day? Second, the loyalty...

Hmm..did Bosporans field phalanx units though? I thought only successor states fielded phalanx units in large scale. Considering Bosporan kingdom's close proximity to nomads, I see little use of...

I vouch for this statement. My faction leader started with 5 star points and constantly won victories in both siege and field battles. He destroyed Sauromatae and conquered all 8 regions and fought...

Is it a bug? In my Bosporan kingdom campaign, I saw the option build the colony building in my Greek polis. The description of the building suggests that the building belongs to Ptolemy. Plus, the...

Understood! :D

Hmm..wasn't the whole point of phalanx to keep formation? Whenever phalanx units lost their formation, they knew it was over for them strategically speaking. If phalanx units lost their formation as...

Dago hit the spot. Now that I think of it, it's the unit card that makes them look like some kinda levy slingers. That just doesn't feel right. If they used a slightly more armored unit card for...

Thanks guys! Dlcatalin I added rep to you for your detailed and helpful answer!

In EB1, the thureoporoi units had leather armor and looked more professional in appearance. But EB2 thureoporoi units feel like levy units. A lot of them don't have any armor aside from helmet and a...

I am a big fan of the Roman era timeline and I've played EB1 for hundreds of hours. I've recently purchased MTW2 to try out EB2. Much to my disappointment, EB2 is still in the beta and its combat...

Couple of other major points from my Bosporon kingdom campaign.
1. Having trade relations with AI slowly decreases your relations with them even if you share border with them and the trade is...

And therefore, I believe EB2 team (Carthage) must be destroyed. :D

Fully agreed. Actually, I think it'd be better to make it so that princesses can only marry within one's own faction if that is possible through modding. That way, every faction, not just Hellenisitc...

That's what I've been wondering as well. I'm guessing it's either not possible or too complicated that EB2 team does not want to mess with it.

Indeed. I am not sure about priests though. Since EB2 team replaced religion with culture, having priests would mean spreading culture faster. And that's not what EB2 team wants I'm guessing.

...

I do remember reading that it is EB team's stance to not add merchants, priests, and princesses somewhere on this forum. The former two don't really have much significance, I understand that. But...

So, I've recently downloaded EB2 and played for several hours. So far, diplomacy and a lot of other gameplay mechanics have improved when compared to EB1. However, field battles are really turn off...

Well detailed proposal, but useless faction in general. Like someone said earlier, it'll be like playing Numidians on harder difficulty. Meroe AI would be easily conquered with phalanx spam of...

Oh ok, thanks everyone!

Also, few last questions:
4.
Apparently, the kingdoms expansion's factions are sold separately. Do I have to buy all of them or can I simply buy one to play EB2?
5. Is 1.05, the latest version...

So I decided that it's worth it to buy Medieval 2 for the sake of EB2. I am not sure, however, which version of Medieval 2 to buy. So here are my questions.
1. Do I need to have Medieval 2 Kingdoms...

Oh, I misunderstood, my bad :D Thanks Ryoga for the link!

You know instead of insulting people on the forum, you could at least post something useful.

I don't know where the EB 2 forum is lol, could you direct me there?

Is it possible to play EB 2 on Steam (Notice the number two, not EB 1)? I am thinking about buying Medieval 2 just for the sake of playing EB 2, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Any opinions on...

The reason why Sweboz won't ally with you if you have the ally option is because either they share a border with you or you have a province near their territories.
