EB v1.0 Released

[LordCurlyton]

Wheeeee! 45% in under 6 minutes! EB 1.0 here I come!

[LordCurlyton]

DING!!! Yum! Now the joy begins...

[NeoSpartan]

YEAH BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The finaly awaited time is HERE!!!!!!! EB has the answer to my wishes of a History Game that was accurate!

You fellas have put in tons of work and countless hours for the enjoyment of all of us. One thing I would like to say.... besides all the fun and whatnot, this "game" and this thread has tought me a lot about the ancient world and the people who lived in that time. It will be at least 10 pages long if I were to list all the stuff I've learned. I see this "game" and this thread as the best thing that has been done to spread knowledge of history since somebody thought of writting stuff down.

Fellas.... all I can say is that this forum is about to go CREAZY with action!! And think of all the thread references, FAQ refences, Geasatae NOT overpowered etc that awaits us. But all in all, a bunch of people (including me) are going to learn a LOT about history. (and draw blank stares when they quote what the romani did to make a point in a casual discussion with friends).

Fun times ahead fellas....

In all seriousness. For many of us on the team, that makes it all worthwhile.

Since playing EB I would say I have spent nearly £200 on books about this period of history, so it's fair to say it's inspired me to learn more regarding this timeperiod too. Cheers guys.

[EasternScourge]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I'm on vacation right now,and didn't bring my RTW with me.Now I'll have to wait till Monday to get it.Curse ye fate.Oh well,still have the other half of break to play.And then...I don't know what to do then.Maybe Sweboz,or Sabean,or maybe try Pahlav again.Then again,ohhhh, to many options.But thats a good thing.

Looks like we forgot to mention the inclusion of Cape Tainaron as a mercenary hub of sorts. It's in there: just send a general on a ship with a lot of cash to Cape Tainaron (aka Taenarum) and you'll probably leave with a large (and expensive) army in tow.

If I download 1.0 on top of my current game, what will happen? Will I be able to keep on going with my current game, or do I have to start over?

[abou]

Bad things happen... very bad things.

No joke. People need to READ THE README FILE!!!! or even the top part of the post leading off this thread. It states quite clearly that installing EB v1.0 on top of a previous version of EB will cause, to quote abou, "bad things to happen" (meaning CTDs)

Congratulations friends and ex-co.

Torrent is fine. Downloading from 33 out of 49 seeds. eMule looks hopeless atm; no sources.

[CountArach]

Downloading now guys - getting pretty decent speeds from Filefront (Considering I live here in Aus... no one loves us).

I love you guys! Have my baby!

[Respenus]

YEHHAAA!!!

See guys, I wasn't that off the night before!

I just "love" you guys. I'll try to see what I can do about seeding like CRAZY!!!

I'm surprised with this download speeds! I might even be able to play EB1 TODAY!!!

WHY AM I IN SCHOOL????!!!!

[bovi]

Skuzzy, use 7-zip to extract the mod. Then manually create the shortcut. Copy the old 0.81aV2 one, change the path and remove the -nm switch. The removal of the switch is to get the Pahlava intro, if you're not going to play them there is little reason to do it though.

[CountArach]

In all seriousness. For many of us on the team, that makes it all worthwhile.

I just thought I would let you guys know that playing your mod was one of the things that has helped push me down the road of studying History at University (Beginning next year), then hopefully going on to be an academic. Perhaps I shall one day contribute to whatever EB mod it is up to at that point.

[d'Arthez]

Sweet mother of god.

:) This is awesome news. Hope the relationships all players have, don't suffer under the weight of EB 1.0.

Yhanks to the team, the betatesters, and everyone involved in the process.

[Bellum]

I know I can't wait to play! A week from now when my download finally finishes, assuming nothing is corrupted on the journey.

I do believe it's time to celebrate!

[PaladinX]

Tears Don`t Lie !

you made me so emotional -

Thanx, Thanx, Thanx... Thanx from Frankurt (Germany) !

[DeathEmperor]

Alexandros the Great One has heard my prayers and answered them!!!

THANK YOU EB TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!

[Big_John]

*dies*

I'm not going to sleep anymore.

Great Gods!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

my computer can't handle it >_<.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAaa
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'm never going to get my degree

My brain is having difficulty

What happens now? WHAT HAPPENS NOW!?

De-de-de-dee-dee de-de-de-dee dum-de-dum de-de-dum dum
DUM de-de-de-de-DUM_DUM_DUM! DUM-de-de-de-dee DUM_DUM_DUM

Bad news

Please shoot me.

you just ended my social life

You ruined my life.

starve and get demoralised

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Bad things happen... very bad things.

the vast sadness is like sweet AMBROSIA to my malevolent lustings!

[pezhetairoi]

Right.

A question: Can somebody hold my hand and bring me through how to unlock all the missing units for the custom battle? It is irritating to want to play a Baktria custom to find that Heatiroi Kataphraktoi aren't there, or Getai without Agema Orditon...

[Kampfkrebs]

Right.

You have to copypaste their entrys at the start of the edu. dont forget to keep only ONE entrance at a time. two wont work, error message.



Besides this, all those people who died in this thread of excitement, now I know why I waste my spare time with EB

[Warlord 11]

Yes! Can't wait to play!

[Bootsiuv]

In my excitement I hadn't noticed you guys added the Yuehzi Invasion in! Very, very cool.

w00t!

[Subedei]

Wow, just wow. I am sitting here at work and I am so sure what I will do this weekend....watch Rugby...... and PLAY EB 1.0.

Thanks a freaking lot to all the developers, scripters, beta testers, bug hunters, modellers [2- and 3d], programmers, team leaders, researchers, mappers, unit card designers, designers in general, musicians, skinners and all those I forgot. Thank you 4 your patience, spirit, diligence and tolerance towards us - the impatient , but veeeeeery thankful fans.

This mod is the best that ever happened to me on a pc monitor. Some freinds of mine keep asking me, if I was still playing that one game with the strange title. I can sure reply "Hell YEAH!". "Why that?" they ask....and I would state: "It is a lot of fun, interesting, thrilling, inspiring educating [god knows how often I took books from the library , googled or wikipediaed b/c of some culture, unit, town, ship, special sights...you name it, I saw it first on EB].

As a little sidennote: When I told a history interested friend of mine about EB, he actually bought a new PC to be able to play.

So enough with the brown-nosing.

I final YIPPY... now i still gotta work for 6 hrs. and afterwards say good-bye to my Carthagian camapaign 0.81...and hello to my "Who knows"- 1.0 empire building.

Cheers , U RULE Subedei

[JMRC]

In the EB directory, you'll find a folder named "mp custom game edu". Inside you'll find the export_descr_unit files (commonly known as EDU) which are prepared to give custom battles the utmost accuracy in terms of unit availability.

All you have to do is backup the file "export_descr_unit.txt" inside the EB\Data folder and replace it with one of those above.

However, don't forget to replace back the standard EDU when you wish to play a campaign, or nasty things will happen.

BTW, if you get nice footage from one of those custom battles, make sure you share it with the community.

[kambiz]

Congrats lads ... You mafe it
But how about new voicemods? Any of them are in this build???

Cheers

[Christianus]

As earlier said, EB is a beauty!!! But werent the battlespeeches for the greeks supposed to be in greek?

[therother]

edit:
OOOOOO THAT'S WHY! It is still uncompressing to standard C:\ directory. I thought after 0.81 you guys were going to fix this.

It uncompresses, as is standard, to the Application Data folder. That usually resides in C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\, but it doesn't have to be there. If you are having space difficulties, I suggest moving your profiles off C to another fixed drive. Otherwise extract the files with 7-zip as bovi suggested.

[V.T. Marvin]

I am speechless and whatever I would say still will be inadequate to the wonderful effort you all EB Team people have done. Therefore I just bow to the majesty of your work
