Preview: Provinces

[Puppyonastik]

Outstanding work guys! Thank you for all your hard work providing us with all this expansive amount of information, I for one (and I'm sure most of the other EB fans), consider the EB projects invaluable public services.

The twitter account is an excellent idea, thank you for that as well.

[Leviathan DarklyCute]

Yay preview!

FUDGE NO YOU ARE THE WORST PREVIEW EVER

[Vasiliyi]

Im not sure what the post above me is supposed to mean, but THANK YOU SOOO MUCH EB TEAM! I BOW TO YOUR GREATNESS. (and pee my pants from excitement)

[Krusader]

If all province descriptions are going to be as long as that of Hayasdan, I'll probably spend the whole next year studying texts in EB2.

I'm fairly certain not every province will have such a long text, but at least the home provinces of our factions will (Latium, Zeugitania, Delta Neilou, Makedonia, Syria, Lusitania etc.)

[I Am Herenow]

Somebody mistook the "a" in "народ" and "армия" for a "d", and the "e" in "единь" for an "э". Also the last letter doesn't exist. This is what happens when you write in languages you don't speak yourself...

Well, that's what I was thinking. You also confused н and и (≈ N and I). Also, є and і do exist, but they're Ukrainian letters, not Russian ones.

In conclusion, I'm not sure what you were thinking when you made that sig...

Durango made it, not me.Have a look at the signature creation thread in the EH.

And how many provinces will have these descriptions? (I forgot, I'm being lazy)

This is the one and only time I will sign up for a social networking thingy. Ever.

You dont have to. You can just visit that link at intermittent times to see what's new.

[Fluvius Camillus]

Dude... I can't wait this long, it all seems so awesome!!!

[Banzai!]

Yay preview!

[Belisarius II]

My God! Those settlements are... amazing. I was expecting something good, but you guys have really out done yourselves. Keep up the good work!

[Tellos Athenaios]

When it's done, all of 'em will.

@Leviathan DarklyCute

Hmm? Did you want to say: "Don't bother to preview, why what difference does it make? And on that note why release anything anyway? I know I don't want one."

Or are you trying to say: "I suffer from a disability to engage in rational conversations? I am good at swearing, though."

The optimist in me goes for interpretation 1.

[eddy_purpus]

I would love time to go as fast as it could if every hour was made of a minute in my tiny little world xD


Love EB :D

Some buildings will represent the infrastructure of a province, while others will represent political institutions and practices.

Does this mean you can choose different traditions, like styles of conscription, for your people? If so, that's super cool.

[Megas Methuselah]

That would be pretty sweet, lobf.

[I Am Herenow]

Durango made it, not me.Have a look at the signature creation thread in the EH.

Well, if you want it to say "The nation and the army are united!", rather than "The ndtion and the drmny are ünitbï!", then you might want to request that it be altered.

[Sarkiss]

Please note that the exaggerated height of the strategy map terrain is because an error in the map_heights.hgt file, which has not been fixed yet. It will be fixed before the first release .

i actually like it. mountains might a be a bit too high but it'd be roughly the right ratio comparing to the plains below.

awesome work btw!

[theoldbelgian]

dude i silently pity the guy who has to write all of those,

I know that its far from certain and not even taught about yet but I would like to see this guys face when ca anounces unlimmited provinces in the next game that might become if it ever comes to be :eb III

horor sometimes its in the litlest things

but enough about that

awesome preview :D cant wait cant wait cant wait cant wait

PS: keep the mountains, it looks like a lotr landscape :D

[Aelius Maximus]

Congrats EB team.
This´s a very interesting feature.

I would like to know, if it´s ok to release such info, is there anyhow to develop a province infrastructure without your direct hand. I mean, if you construct a major port, the public order is high, the imposts are low, could the area develop? ( farms, villages; An enemy army can destroy this developments?)

Thx

[Iskander 3.1]

Excellent! Thanks for the update. As a George R.R. Martin fan, I've learned that those who expect nothing but the best must also expect to be patient. Anyone who complains is just jealous that they aren't as awesome as you guys!

[antisocialmunky]

This is pretty neat and I guess a nice change from the usual unit previews. Anyways, I really want to congratulate the description team on their work since there's about 200 provinces.

[Belisarius II]

I can just imagine the hours I'm going to spend reading and then re-reading all of these region descriptions

[sgsandor]

This is an awesome preview! I like the height of the mountains, especially in that area of Armenia (which to my understanding is very rugged). I think it adds alot graphically toi the game. I also really like the new look of the cities and the province description. It is in my prayers that i will have a computer worthy enough by the time this comes out!

[DaciaJC]

Marvelous work, EB Team! I am certain that you all carry the perseverance to see this mod through, and I am willing to be patient in waiting for this little piece of heaven.

They already did. It's called ETW. Unlimited Factions and Provinces.

Great preview!!!

Once more EB Team showed what makes EB so much different from any other mod. Any more of features like this and you will be definitely banished from the "Realm of Games" into the "Duchy of Interactive Electronic Encyclopaedias"

It might look cool on the stratmap, but it is exagerrated nonetheless. But what would be really TRAGIC if the exagerrated heights would project onto tactical map as well.
I for one am really concerned about those incredibly steep slopes on some battlefields already in EB and I beg the EB team to consider levelling the terrain a bit. Rugged yes, mountainous where appropriate yes, but please no more 60° and more steep hill climbed casually by heavy infantry in close formations.

Agreed, I like the truly mountaineously high mountains too. ;p

And yeash, this sounds very cool indeed.
