Just to reassure everyone - including myself - the Royal Library will be updated to include images of the known world, the Arche, and the avatars.
I'm saying this because it looks quite empty right now. It'll look better by tonight.

Your lord Hax is here and ready to defend Persepolis (and may take some of the money of the treasury for himself, while he's at it.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

It is a pain to create all those screenshots

I know because I went through this when I took and edited those mugshots of mine. After 10th I thought that this will never end!

[Celtic_Punk]

someone's gotta do it, and we're thankful it's you and not us! only kidding, But your work is greatly appreciated and enjoyed by me, and very most likely the other guys around here.

[The Celtic Viking]

I say they're cavalry. And quit trying to escape from your blunder of being illiterate!

I assure you it was no blunder, but a (dry) joke. They literally are infantry or missile, because they're both combined. Think logic.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

WH.. you have made a little error.

In Royal Library, List of Chancellors. It should be 272-269 not 272-260 since the Chancellors term is 12 turs and not 12 years in EB we have 4 turns per year and not 1,5 year per turn like it is in LotR.

[Warmaster Horus]

Indeed. Thanks for noticing!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

makedon is allied with selucids, we will be fighting KH, THIS IS SPAAARTAAAA

I knew that we are at war with one of them but I forgot which one

And you are wrong.. This is SELEUKIIAAA!!

[Celtic_Punk]

*kicks Ibh down a long and dark hole*

WH in the battle reports it says "BATTLES OF THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE" um i think you are only half a millennia off? *rolls eyes*

[Ibn-Khaldun]

This happens when we use the rules and other stuff from LotR. The thing is that TinCow wrote them so good and we have nothing to add.. and because of that we have these mistakes

Everyone give a bow to TinCow

[johnhughthom]

I was wondering what bodyguard unit my character has? I like to use foot generals and was hoping he had a unit of Babylonian Spearmen. No biggie if he doesn't, just checking.

[Celtic_Punk]

nope hes gunna be like all the other selucid generals, cavalry!

[Rodrico Stak]

Everyone give a bow to TinCow

Certainly.

[Celtic_Punk]

No foot generals I'm afraid. All cavalry. Those client rulers that were originally in the game have been removed and gov4 will not be built since this will create generals that no one will use(only one avatar per person)

is the installer ready yet? i haven't read anything about it in a few days....

I'll pm WH again and put a little pressure upon him. It would be good to see it's release later today I think.

How the hell you edit your post is it power you gain after a limit of posts?
My SOT as unusual big letters, don't blame me I'm new to this forum

[Ibn-Khaldun]

After you become member then you can change your post..
Since you are still a Junior Member then you can't unfortunately..
You can talk to some moderators who have the power to make you member though..

[kingsnake]

You know how you become a member?
How many more posts do you have to make?

I'll have to start posting some more semi-unnecessary posts out here like this one

[Celtic_Punk]

how do you become a member? lol i don't remember when i became a full member

EDIT: How do you become a SENIOR member?! 1000+ posts or soemthing? or does it have something to do with your join date?

[kingsnake]

I'm screwed

[Ibn-Khaldun]

How to become a senior member?

Read the .Org FAQ. It is all there. Even how you can become a just a 'Member'.
What you can do is saying hello and introduce yourself in Entrance Hall in a thread called Hail New Members! (Introduction) v.IV
This way some moderator might notice you
Or you can just ask this in a polite manner.

EDIT: This is from the .Org FAQ

Promotion to Member
Promotion to Member is based on participation, conduct and contributions in your posts. Quantity of posts doesn't matter - you could be promoted on the basis of one amazing post, although just showing the ability to interact with the membership in a helpful and polite manner is easily sufficient. In other words, you don't need to do something special, just enjoy yourself whilst following the Forum Rules above. Introducing yourself (if you have not already done so) in the HAIL New Members! (Introductions) III thread doesn't hurt either!

Promotions are handled manually by the Guild Staff, and are generally done en masse. So as a very quick rule of thumb: if you've been here for a couple of weeks and been posting reasonably regularly during that time, you should be promoted to Member.

In any case, the staff will always try to help you if they can. If you feel perhaps that you've been mistakenly overlooked (as does happen on occasion), your best bet is to either PM TosaInu or Ser Clegane and explain your situation.

[Celtic_Punk]

i just read the stuff on senior member... why the hell are you not a senior member Ibh-Khaldun?! by my standards you are.... someone's been over looked and is due for a promotion!

[kingsnake]

Ok I have done it all.

Thanks Ibn

Thank You! I'm flattered!

http://rapidshare.com/files/143355861/WotB_Mod.exe.html Just target the RTW folder (the one with the RTW exe).
There's the mod we'll be using! It's basically several mods united in one: the FD mod, the Phalanx mod, money scripts, win-conditions... Permission has been given for all of them.
Bear in mind it will change your installation of EB! A solution has been mentionned in the actually installer (with the release notes).
Also, with the test mod we had a small problem: users were launching the game with the trivial script. I changed the sp game edu backup, so it's the same as ours (which lets us recruit Bodyguards). Launch it any way you want, it should work fine!

Any problems, contact me.

Edit: that's one thing done. Now on to the pictures.

[MerlinusCDXX]

Just a quick question about this mod. Are all of the permanent fixes included in this? Do I need to install them? (I made a copy of my clean RTW, and installed EB over that, but I did not install any fixes, since I didn't know what order such things needed to be installed in in relation to the mod.)

[The Celtic Viking]

Well, it can't hurt to install the fixes before this mod anyway, just in case.

[Warmaster Horus]

Ah, all fixes are included

[Celtic_Punk]

how come it says in the picture of my Avatar that he has the "family member" trait but in the royal library it says I'm a RBG

[Warmaster Horus]

That's a problem with EB actually. I think it's supposed to be a hidden trait or something...
