Let's play Europa Barbarorum 2 (M:TW) as Kimmerios Bosporos - part 0 1/2 "The Setup"
76Hello everyone and welcome to a new let’s play of Europa Barbarorum 2 – version 2.2f. We are going to play as Kimmerios Bosporos, in English called Bosporan Kingdom or sometimes Kingdom of the Cimmerian Bosporus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosporan_Kingdom).

This let’s play won in the Christmas Special voting here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pS_du-McaU) and I can already say it is going to be tough as nails. Small kingdom (which is historically accurate) surrounded by extremely violent neighbors (Sauromatae and Getai) with an army that will ruin us within a few turns we’ll run on borrowed time from the very beginning. Priorities? Taking the port cities, expanding in a way that won’t cause anyone to notice us and then slowly remaking our army and building a second one. Eventually we aim for three armies – North, West and East with our South being protected by the sea. Think we can do it? Well I am not sold yet.
Description of the game from Total War Center: " Europa Barbarorum was started to more accurately represent the barbarian factions in Rome - Total War as more than unwashed hordes but quickly expanded into accurate representations of all of the factions. Over the X years that EB has existed, EB has completely remade the Rome - Total War game with the goal of historical accuracy and fair representations of all factions. With the completion of Europa Barbarorum Version 1.1, the team has moved on to the M2TW engine to recreate the Roman Era with the new features available therein."
