There should also be two Zealot units (one called JPF and one called PFOJ) that are never able to leave the capital as they are too busy fighting each other

Sorry, it's not obvious yet to me what building is best vs decadence (haven't got much beyond first level buildings yet), please tell!!!

Classifying armies is subjective but it is relatively easy to set objective criteria and perhaps even create an algorithm to decide what grading to give them So you could say an army gets so many points for being in the top ten bracket of competition winners An army with elite legionaries adds so ma...

That is a very good idea. BTW your Mercenaries and Allies mod is fantastic. Is it possible to combine it with the TT mod into a single mod? I don't think two mods can be active at the same time, if the TT mod creator would have to include it in the TT mod, or create a separate TT Mercenaries and Al...

Noooo, those independent or rebel armies are already too annoying, they can be so aggressive and you have to give up whatever you are trying to do to, to protect some unremarkable corner of your existing empire

Yes you can move slaves from one region to another - this requires the building of the slave building in several places (four is good) and meeting the requirements to carry out the slave redistribution decision. I got offered that decision several times but didn't try it as I don't know how it works...

Playing as the Thracians I didn't find those independent regions at all easy unless I amassed a huuuuge army - I needed at least 2:1 odds to be sure of beating them and having a useful army left over. You are lucky to be able to use those Dacian heavy infantry that fight well in forest (or hills, de...

You mean Balearic Slingers or Cretan Archers (haven't been able to recruit any archers in my game yet), not Cretan slingers. Building the archery building doesn't allow you to build archers, so how do you get archers if you don't have a special provincial unit?

yes it's annoying when it happens to you, but I don't want everything to be entirely predictable, it's more fun this way! If anything, it is very predictable. 2 out of 3 games, I can reliably discern the winner on or before first contact just based on who managed to get the matchups they wanted. On...

Is the ability to dismount a freebie or does it cost extra points?

I would dismount the lancers if faced by spear-armed heavy foot, as the lancers don't seem to bounce off them and the spear armed heavy foot have a better chance. How do you dismount troops anyway, and what happens to the horses? Can you dismount then remount? Or is it something you have to do durin...

Ok the exact text from the patch notes is: "Light Foot can only charge non-light troops if the latter are in Rough or Difficult terrain. (They could previously charge them in non-Open terrain that was neither of these - e.g. small Streams)." "Unless they are in Rough or Difficult terrain, or defendi...

I thought that none caused disorder after the last update?

What is the effect of streams now? I've been told that all they do is provide a line of squares that are not counted as clear terrain, and they are not an obstacle. Is that correct?

I've started my first game with the Byzantines and I am somewhat taken aback by the content of the army list. Back in the glory days of 25mm, my best friend had a Nikephorian Byzantine army, which stood out because it had cataphracts that charged in wedge (looked good but - being cataphracts - despi...

The mod has now been released: it includes five new Thracian lists - Early, middle, and late Getic Celtic Thracian (kingdom of Tylis) early, Hellenistic, later, and Roman Thracian Early and later Triballi. For an explanation of these lists see this book: The Gods of Battle.jpg - it upgrades Numidian...

I love the imagery in this mod, (it's beautiful!) but disagree with some aspects of your Thracian lists. Can I make some suggestions or would you mind if I make my own mod of the Thracian lists (assuming that's done the normal wayjust by editing a few files and there's no additional code)?

Lots of learned input. I just want to say that in my experience the cataphracts are really poor for their cost. Bunny told me that they cost 72 before but even at 68 they don't offer much of a punch. Cataphracts have often had this problem with previous rule sets - look great but don't do much, mak...

I also think that with the war on light troops reaching a new crescendo, their cost should be reduced. In my last battle I had light bowmen on a hill that were charged by light horse bow - if my infantry had stood to receive the charge, they had a good chance of surviving, but no, they had to run aw...
