Time to step out of the lurking zone and congratulate the team on their persistence and their efforts! Summer will have a new attraction this year!

[I_damian]

Every single day is going to feel like a week for the next two months.

Oh god... what have I done? Why did I choose today to do my yearly check on the progress of the mod? Why didn't I choose a day at the end of July?

WHY!?

[panten]

This makes me so happy :)

[Cadwalader]

Squeeeee! :D
This is getting to be a very, very good year!

I joined this forum for EBI and EBII. I used to be very active in here but as the years went on, I became a lurker. Never lost hope though, I have always checked this forum at least once a week for the past 6 years.

Very happy to see the efforts of so many over so long finally come to fruition.

[Populus Romanus]

A little late to the party here. I have tried to keep checking this forum frequently over the years I have been anticipating EBII. I am so excited that its finally here! Congratulations to the dev team for persevering over the years. You guys have shown incredible dedication to this game!

I just saw a new doomsday prophesy that the world will end on July 31st.

I'll be crouching in my basement with my PC and a copy of Medieval II, praying that my Internet connection holds out.

[Duguntz]

This is like a year's worth of daily christmas!!!

[Leon the Batavian]

Good news! R2TW was cheap at steam so gave it a try just out of curiousity but this will cast that one aside instantly.

[tishtar]

at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you EB team! you did it!
congrats, you have done a great service to the community with your hard work.
on a post note, I saw the thread three weeks ago, but for some unknown reason I didn't comment then. but now I thought I owed the team a thank you at least.

[Poppis]

First release in next month? Is this really happening?

[Alcibiade]

Great. This news is the reason that kept me around this forum even when not playing TW games ! It will be like xmass in plain august.

[delablake]

Good news! Been following this game since 0.8! Really looking forward to playing it!

Ladies and gentlemen its

*dies*

Been playing tw since shogun 1 - playing eb since first release and eagerly waiting for eb2 since announced and now I can die happy.

[STuNTz2023]

After reading this I decided to fire up EB and get a new game going. I'm positive it will be worth the wait, thank you for all your hard work!!!

[Lusitani]

Awsome....can't wait!!!

[edyzmedieval]

Prepare your PCs guys, stack up on food, get those energizers ready...

If the world ends on July 31st, we shall agree here and now to meet at a place roughly half way between where we both live and together we will fight our way through the hordes of survivors to the homes of the EB creators and find EB2 on their PC's.

Bring weapons and food.

Edit: And women. I'll bring my sister for you, you bring your sister for me.

Deal?

Ave people!

I have to say i have lost track of the state of this mod back in '08, '09, but have thought of it every once in a while since then. When i bothered to check it out after a couple of years, i found to my amazement, that it is almost here. I am SO grateful to the modding team of old and new, that you/they didn't give up on this long awaited project. I can only suspect that great perseverance and determination was needed from those individuals who have sacrificed their free time to make EB II a reality.

My helmet -is down to you- great sers.

[Satyros]

[I_damian]

I'm being extra careful to make sure I don't die before EB2 is released. I'm even waiting for the green man before I cross the road now!!!

(The green man is the "safe to cross" thing for you Americans =P)

[Jebus]

Oh god yes! Finally!

[Hooahguy]

This is crazy! I remember when I joined up here at the Org, EB1 was still going strong and I vividly remember the announcement for beginning work on EBII. Good work!

[skuzzy]

This thread is kind equivalent to going to a nice restaurant and having to take a shit on the drive back. You have endured for so long but now that your bathroom is within sight you can't contain yourself.

I have patiently lurked for so many years and now with this announcement, I am beside myself, impulsively checking the forum every night hoping that the dev decide to bump the deadline to July.

Thanks for all your work, guys!

I would if I could but figure out how Twitter works. I tried signing up and learning how to use it once (I wanted to send abusive messages to The Pope and Gary Barlow) but I honestly couldn't figure out how the hell that thing works. I even googled how it works and really tried to learn but it was just so unnecessarily confusing to me.

[Hooahguy]

Looking back, this makes me sad for all the good people who this forum and mod project lost over the years: MarcusAureliusAntoninus, Foot, abou and the list goes on. I remember all being very active and prominent members and who have now left or barely active.
