Thank you for the kind words.

There are other mods that compare and do things in a better way. Wars of the Gods and Para Bellum.

Absolutely! That is the main reason I pushed for the changes to the Mauryan government actions, to give a feel for the existence of the Indian Subcontinent.

Glad you like it.

Thank you 😊

Thank you for the kind words.

Absolutely!

Thank you. Yes that is what was historically the case. So that is pretty accurate, however now that we have the DEI template for the manipular legion, we will adopt the same for our own Manipular Reforms which will be interesting!

@@TWSummary Awesome, that’s great news. I have to say it is a strange decision to me to launch a campaign revision lacking two key features of the main mod. Reforms and AOR units are a huge part of the enjoyment of the grand campaign and vanilla RotR did it better than any other content CA made for the game. Having less features than the vanilla game is a weird choice, least in my mind. Aside from that though, pitstarfield down and tried the Insubres, great experience so far. I do really like the changes made to the Gauls, I may even try to finish a Senones campaign, which I never managed in vanilla. Great work as always!

Yes, that is my vision. And the DEI team approved of it. So I give unique poses for units so that at a glance you can tell a hoplite from a pikeman, a shock cav from a melee cav, fast infantry versus slow. Etc. I'm slowly phasing out as many cards as I can, but even though it is an easy process, it is a long one. Extra hands are always welcome.

Thank you very much Bruh.

I took the time to read your post. And yes there are many things I completely agree with you. They will be a part of Ab Urbe Condita

@@TWSummary Also, maybe you could give them an "ability" so that if a Linen Legion unit routes, they all start losing health rapidly until they completely go extinct! 100% total wipeout! Because they swore the oath to die rather than flee from battle.

It's already available link in the description.

Will create another one when I return.

Thank you glad you enjoy it

Who will you play as?

While those are good suggestions, there is unfortunately no evidence for camel cataphracts for the Sabateans, that is why they were excluded from the roster. However, the Saba are definitely A LOT better now!

@@TWSummary yeah but saba its the perfect faction to give more value for the melee camels. Hopefully in other update we can see that units.

I wish they can get more camel units so I can do camels only camping (: xd

@asirry3144 would be nice, but DEI is all about historical accuracy, at least as much as they can. So camel cataphracts won't ever be a thing with the official mod. Regardless, they do have good horse archers, which is by far one of the best unit types a roster can have.

Nabateans were known for heavy use of camels in war, while Saba did not use them a lot, outside of very minor roles like light mounted attendants.

Calabria was the old name for the Salento peninsular in the third century BC. While modern day Calabria was known as Bruttium.

@@TWSummary Thank you for that bit of info. I knew that the tribes inhabiting the modern day Salento were called Japigi, Messapi, Dauni etc... But this is the first time I encounter the Calabri tribe. You never stop learning, I suppose😅 Thanks again and have a good day!

In DEI, I'm not sure, but in AUB, surely.

That's a lot of work. And it's not my personal expertise perhaps if the other modder wish to invest the time to do it. But at the moment I think they don't want to.

@TWSummary aaa I see now sorry about that. But thank you very much for your hard work and other mode worker's, ho puts ther sol in it. And with aut you guys game would be boring to play

Check out my Roma series, there is a list of mods in the description. Those are all my graphics mods.

@@TWSummary thanks!

That might have to be a script, but don't know how that would work.

The Roman reinforcement script is pathetic, it triggers WAY too late for it to save them from the player. 20 turn intervals are FAR too long, it needs to be 8!

No, I did not make a new campaign map. What I did was create a new UI element for the tactical map.

Hopefully the next one if it wins the votes.

No other factions for now have these actions, if the review is really positive on the Mauryan changes, then this could be applied to other factions. Currently as it stands, the changes to the Mauryan government actions, is more of making the Mauryans a lab rat in the experiment.

@@TWSummary I hope it gets good reviews, definitely my next campaign after the Seleucid hellish one I'm in right now 💀

Hello Andrew fish long time

Ultimately, there is sweet spot for roster sizes. As too large roster sizes would mean adding many redundant units, as there will always be an ideal cookie cutter composition for each faction. Some units are just simply going to outperform other units in cost-effectiveness, stats, etc. So keep the rosters too small would make the game boring and lack depth, conversely keeping it too large will only add clutter and make the game too inefficient. Meanwhile striving for the sweet spot, is what the DEI teams focuses on. There are many submods that adds more units to the game should you choose to have that option.

Thank you 😄

Best of luck.

Empire divided is not really overhauled by the team is it? It's still featuring many vanilla aspects like melee cav, the morale systems are all over the place. I love the time period, but I will wait until that part gets overhauled eventually.

@@Konrad_IV It has some changes. I never finished my first ED campaign. I still had to go against Parthia. I started the campaign I am on know a few weeks ago. The starting set up was different. The initial amies and navy had less units. All the tech was low to start with. The AI armies moves in battle like DEI. They moved troops to protect their rear and flanks. If they could flank you they would go for it. I have won every battle except one. They had 5 heavy infantry that pined my center. The rest of their army were missile troops that showered my cavalry skirmishers to pieces. It was a good fight.

They are very powerful already. Sadly, the AI is bad at managing big empires. That's a CA thing, not a DEI thing. However, in the hands of a human player, the Seleucids are one of the most powerful faction.

@@TWSummary I agree that they are powerful on camping map. But on the tactical map(battle's) i think they are abysmal. They need more units especially native units. Selucid empire historically employed and used many native units. Something like roman auxiliary barracks could be useful. Especially in early camping. In my experience many eastern satraps declare independence, Lydia is attacked Ptolemy declares war and pontus almost always defeats Armenia. So you wage war on four fronts and you cannot even hold that much armies. Without keeping all the satraps. After the first reform you get thurepoi who are cheap and it is literally spamming them because of population and money problems. Because everything around you is wrong culture which makes it very hard. And in the late game you have fight Roman's which mele unit's are crazy compared to you. So in sense you don't have unit's to defeat west in battles 1/1 nor east. This period is period of Helenic domination of war in east, it's funny to see cheap archer's destroy phalanx. Phalanx in history was very good in holding against skirmishers. And cavalry choice without native unit's is bad... Selucid used many native cavalry... Long story short i like the feeling of camping map but not the battle's. Too much holes in unit roster who historically were filled by native troops and made selucid one of the biggest and melting pot of culture. You could even have an argument that one of the biggest reason for their collapse to Rome is their loss of far east satraps and their much needed unit's and money. Sorry for huge answer, i am student of history and so frustrating to see phalanx lose and can't do nothing about missile unit's etc... P.S. I am not a native speaker of English so please be gentle about my spelling.

Around Tuesday, I got a bit of work.

Thank you.

Well not really, but I recommend you watch my let's play series to understand how to counter the AI effectively.

That's more a Rome 2 thing than actually a mod issue. In vanilla you get the same ****

Welp, I don't want to call it a skill issue lol, but if you check out the guides of more experienced players etc, it can get very fun, especially when you start roleplaying. Economics in DEI aren't the easiest thing to manage, but gets very cracked if done properly (200000 a turn eg). There's a great economics guide by Summary that Toxborg has made into a little series, recommend you watch it :D
