A quick question, will there be different starting times for a campaign? For instance, a campaign that starts after the Marian reforms.

Cheers?

A quick answer: no.

Any idea how much work it is to make all factions historically correct for a certain date?
Just 272BC is already hard enough.

Are you one of the developers?

Does that make a difference when the answer to your question is well known?

Members of the EB team have sig that says "EB Member".

Nevermind, I checked the FAQ and the start and end date is given there.

I'd like an alternative starting time with LS. Please.

How about an alternate starting time with Bartix armoured with LS! :spammer:

There are no official plans to do anything but the one start date at 272BC. There was an attempt to make and official "Late Project" EB for EB1, but it never got too far. There could be an official or unofficial try at that again, but nobody has done anything towards that end as of this time.

Thank you for the information!

This is one of those things where the fans are more than welcome to jump in and develop their own eras mod based on EB. A suggested starting time would be before the 3rd Macedonian War.

Hint, hint.

Can you just have someone internally play until the Marian Reforms using forced diplo/province giving and include a save form that period with the release?

Or just change the requirements so that you get Marians from the beginnining if you just want to play with Marians. Loads of people do that.
