Hello everyone.
Recently, our Project manager JMRC gave an interview at leviathyn.com about EBII. The interview contains some information about the team, our work process, and for all you Taksashila-fans out there: A little spoiler...
Enjoy:

(OK, I won't give it away...)
Thanks for sharing this :)
nice interview but only 12 questions ? maybe they should create a new part and release 1 interview per faction :X
A great (if short) interview. I didn't realise there was so much attrition of members. Such a pity.
Also, forgive me if the great spoiler wasn't that 'spoiler-ific'.
Well there clearly is attrition of members considering the project leader has in fact changed.Quote:

We were doing pretty ok at that time with important members such as Gustave, me, k_raso, oudysseus quite active, so it's not that the reason.Quote:

It may be a surprise but Eb2 is lacking most in the gameplay mechanics department and not in other such as units.
I don't like saying these internal things but I do it in the hope that some fans will get motivated and volunteer to help.

Is this one even previewed or announced yet?
yes as takashila wich was rulled by one of ashoka´s uncles or cousins or something
His brother.
For the sake of clarity, the faction name is Taksashila. However, the city of Taksashila was located in the historical region of Gandhara.
Hence, Gandhara = Taksashila.

This doesn't sound good. Unique gameplay and historical accuracy were the two main strengths of EB1. Unit models etc. are important, but the replayability depends mostly on gameplay. The mod cannot feel MTW2-ish or it will turn people off.Quote:

Of course, that's why things are moving so slow and why the mod isn't released yet.Quote:

Yes.
