Unfortunately this mod isn't finished yet :sad:, but if you own Rome total war you can download EB for that from here (https://www.europabarbarorum.com/downloads_mod.html).

Reply to Muzzius:
Thanks, I already have EB. From what I see the effort for EBII started a long time ago. In computer technology time-terms it could be considered centuries. I understand it is a not-for-profit endeavor so I have to ask: does it follow through, at what pace, any ETA, or has it been abandoned?

Thanks again!

As far as I know there is no planned release date for EB2 at the moment, any other questions you have can probably be answered in the FAQ (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?102768-Europa-Barbarorum-II-FAQ).

The FAQ doesn't mention system requirements, are they going to be the same as with M2TW kingdoms?
Also, I played M2TW years ago but I remember that experience gaining of units would not give the same attack/deffence/moral upgrades. IIRC a unit would gain plus one in attack/deffence for every three experience levels (it really annoyed me). Does this stay on or will it be changed to the classical style of RTW?

I think that it will work with the EB system where units gain Experience (chevrons) but there will be no upgrades for attack or defence, as it upsets combat balancing.

Perhaps a little bit heavier due to all the scripting. I suppose somewhere like other mods with scripts, like Stainless Steel or Deus lo Vult.

AFAIK the EB team want to eliminate experience boni because they are unrealistic. In any case - and I don't think it would be possible - it won't be changed to the RTW experience.


Some remarks:
1. Why did you think the mod was dead? Just look at the forum and the dates of the threads and all is recent.
2. I agree that a question about a mod on that mod's forum is iirelevant. Totally irrelevant. You should be banned for posting something as off topic as this on a forum...
3. In computer technology the mod takes ages, yes. But EB means research, detail, immersion and a great experience. So it's normal that it takes time, even when the makers would be payed. That's why other games, even good games, are such rubbish compared to EB.

1. My eye was caught by the age of some of the stickies. Other than that I have no excuse, crucify me!
2. I was reffering to my not being well informed.
3. No offence meant!

1. Will be taken care of.
2. Don't worry I was just joking.
3. Everyone is impatient to play EB II, so none will take offence.

Not all of us have English as our first language, I knew what you meant and so-I believe- did Mediolanicus.

Have a look at my reply to whether EBII should be set in the BI era (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?127790-EB2.-Mod-for-Vanilla-or-BI&p=2478502&viewfull=1#post2478502), it answers much of your original question.
