    ...Yes?

    Dude, the first 2 releases of EB1 were Beta. Remember 0.7x and 0.8x?

    Oh, hell - sorry, I thought you said the first wasn't released as an open beta.

    Still, I would think they would release an open beta. After all, they would need to test out new features with the general public.

    There will probably first be a closed beta, and finally an open.

    No. They weren't Beta's. Thats the main reason behind the name 1.0, just so people stopped assuming because it had 0.X it was a beta.

    0.7 was explicitly announced as an open beta. 0.8 also wasn't particularly finished when it first came out, but after several patches it was stabler than most "finished" mods, so the team decided to skip 0.9, in order to ditch the beta-image.

    About every programm that I ever installed was an open beta, be it a voluntary project for free like EB or a professional software that cost some hundreds €€. The difference is that only volunteer programmers were (sometimes) fair enough to label their product that way. So, forgett about "Beta" and such. Whenever EB2 will be for public download it will be in a playable version that is still far away from the final built. You might either call it "Beta" or "Final 1.0 (of 9.+)".

    so you should have asked like : " When will we start bug hunting with EB II?"

    I can answer like that : "When EB team got bored with bug hunting themselves and let us do instead of them"

    I look forward to duel bugs ASAP.

    Omega comes after alpha and beta.


    Sure, we'll let you test everything once we've made EBIV for Rome 3 - Total War

    you started EB 0.X and 1.X series for RTW

    EBII wil be on M2TW as you say.

    and if there will be EB III methinks it will be based on Empire Total War.

    but for EB IV quite likely to be based on Cold War Total War

    OMG what a brainstorming while half awake

    you can steal my idea , it would be great to play them but you have to change the mod names for EB III
    and EBIV, but it will be fantastic to charge poor phalaxes with tanks (Esp. with German Tiger Tanks that they can raze whole europe)

    Moros is the only guy able to spoil the fun for both the EB Team and the EB Taverners. A for that incredible feat.

    Seriously, you replied in this old topic to ask THAT? Was Google down?

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    Well, Beta is the second letter of the greek alphabet.

    It is also a word of the french language.
