What puts you in the EB mood?

[tapanojum]

Been playing EB for a line time. I have my month of hardcore EB, and my few months of break from EB. What puts you guys in the mood to play? For me...it's any video similar to this...my favorite movie of all time.

No, I'm not a big Roman head EB player. I have yet to play a campaign over 5 years with Rome. I just love this movie

i like to build, conquer and create an empire (i like maps and borders) with a lot of story behind. also, in a special way to "reanact" history...
i´m fascinated when units and names in books look and sound like eb :2thumbsup:

[Subedei]

A free evening, a good meal, a working computer, some good sound for da background (or EB music, it depends), 2 beers, lemonade, nasty weather outside, :hippie: -cigaretts...:2thumbsup:

[TWFanatic]

Some candles & champagne.

whenever the the laptop returns..:furious3::furious3: then i'm willing to play EB (or IBFD, i don't care). also combined with a good weekend, a lot of coke (the drink), kabab and balah ishsham from the zahrat ul-mada'in, and flaunting the size of my army..BTW what does yall really mean?

*bashes desktop*

sorry...you get told that repair takes three weeks, and then it fails to show up after 4. a cruddy computer doesn't help.

Usually I'm reading and discover something I didn't know about a particular faction which makes me want to use them.

Kabob usually puts me in the mood to eat more kabob. It's a viscious never ending cycle till my belly pops!

Sometimes I wish I could just play the campaign map without ever having to do battle map. (Auto resolve takes ridiculious casualties). I get tired of waiting for the battle map to load up, then watch the AI do something completely retarded like General cav charging a phalanxe or hoplite. This usually kills my EB mood. Along with an occasional CTD which makes me not want to spend another 10 minutes loading up EB, doh!

its ka-BAB! as long as this 1/2 arab is around, its spelled and pronounced with an "a":clown:

but ya, that's another side affect. I've never really had kabab in 2 years. I miss eating it.:shame:
If you're worried about the retarded AI, you can get darth's mod. it'll improve it a bit. then, get Alex.exe, and plop the sucker in. it rocks I tell ya.

[Aemilius Paulus]

Reading Roman history, especially the times of the early and middle Republic. Romani are my absolute favorite.

and your KABAB will always be eaten as long as this full armenian is around :beam:


I've had Darth. First time I installed it, all the armies ran around the outskirts of the map before engaging. Second time reinstalled, they would break up into smaller armies and just become annoying.

everytime i pick up a history book, or watch a ancient battle movie i get the itch.
