EBNOM official discussion thread

[Lionheart]

A new unit was been made. A small candy for all of you before the release of a new faction.

So what unit do you believe this is?

[vartan]

Certainly light cavalry. Looks like he only has a lance. Maybe he has a sword, too? Maybe missiles (javelins) instead? And is he from Africa?

he must be light cavalry. no saddle=numidian
looking from previous post, Gaetuli light cavalry?

[Tanit]

Well, Tanit, if you ever feel like it to help us out in other departments, you would be more then welcome.

Just send me a PM if you ever want me to look into anything.

As for the new unit image, hmm, maybe a Nabataean/Arabian? Or a Iudaean.

[Nyz]

Parashim Gaetulim.

[Tanit]

ok, I guessed before I looked at the image name, yeah, definitely gaetulian, cool.

[CaesarAugustus]

So... about that preview...

This forum should really implement Reddit's thumbs up or down feature. CaesarAugustus: Thumbs up.

No pressure, I was just worried that the thread for my favourite sub-mod seems too quiet. :) but I understand that sadly RL tends to get in the way of the good things in life.

[anubis88]

It may take a day or two unfortunatly... But here's a sneak peak

This is a new unit for the preview... Can you guess what it is?

Don't worry my friend. There are plenty of good things in "real" life! Rest assured!

Pontus bodyguard cavalry

[CaesarAugustus]

^^I think so too, either the bodyguard unit or some Pontic kataphract.

[anubis88]

Close... I can tell you that the Pontic Bodyguards look even better then this unit. They are really a masterpiece... These guys are some sort of Pontic Cata's... But they will be recruitable for Parthia and Armenia as well... Does this new info help?

[Arjos]

Cappadocian Noble Cavalry?

[gamegeek2]

And we have a winner!

[Reno Melitensis]

Nice unit guys, but right now I hate every catapracth on earth. I am having a hard time stooping their devestating charages against my legions. I am locked in a power strrugle with the Pahlava.

Cheers

[anubis88]

Then I guess you'll really dislike the Pahlava preview

[plutoboyz]

Then I guess you'll really dislike the Pahlava preview

so next preview is Pahlava? Hurray!!!

[anubis88]

Nah, it's Pontos... That's why I showed a unit nearby Pontos :)

[vartan]

so next preview is Pahlava? Hurray!!!

...wait for it...wait for it...

Nah, it's Pontos... That's why I showed a unit nearby Pontos :)

...owned! mawahahah Why did you make it seem like Pahlava was gonna be next?! Ok, you didn't, but when I read, I hoped!

Well we will see. If the unis are as awsome as the ones already shown you are forgiven for the hard times.

Cheers

I express my sincerest apologies as I laugh in your face.

I was recently at a conference regarding wronging and its the first thing that came to mind. As the theory stands, we aren't in any special standing; that is, we don't have any position or any qualification to forgive the developers. As I gather it, the developers don't owe it to us not to wrong us by not providing quicker and more frequent previews. In fact, they aren't wronging us by providing less frequent previews. As I sit here writing this text, a man in the row of computers in front of me (here at the university's primary library) is typing quickly left and right and never staying at one website for longer than 10 seconds. Literally. He is going from YouTube video to YouTube video to YouTube search to video to search...you get the point. He clicks on various points in the video, sees individual frames for no longer than half a second, and moves on. It is so unbelievably hilarious that I wish I had it on film. Anyway, nothing of seriousness. Good luck to the devs.

P.S. GG2 I forget what you wanted me to do cause I don't really keep in mind anything regarding EB:NOM any more. Like, maybe I could translate some things, think of new units (I think that's what you wanted), or come up with new descriptions for buildings or units. Dude...just use generic descriptions or maintain original EB descriptions. Unless the person's interested in you-know-which faction, its buildings and its units (and its history, needless to say), then the person will not likely care or even read at all these descriptions. They will care about the stats, etc. Ya follow ?

I express my sincerest apologies as I laugh in your face.

This. Apologies are merely expressions of remorse and hence useless. It is only forgiveness by the wronged (none in this case) that allows for closure and renewed relations. Hell, Yeah.

Previewing the EB:NOM intro music (courtesy of GRV Music) and a few unnamed units.

[Tanit]

It may be the music from the Starcraft 2 preview, but I like it in its new setting.

The music is from a group called GRV Music. The selection is a clip from the piece "Grand Battle"

[Reno Melitensis]

Gamegeek2 that music is awesome, its electrifiying, and all those Cathapracts. For Jupiter Maximus.

Cheers.
