Guide to EB?

[Reddington]

Are there any plans to make a guide for EB? I love the mod but it's really overwhelming to new players. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make a guide on units/buildings found in EB? You could print out a PDF guide that lists the units/building each faction can make.
Example:

Romans:

Rorarii:
Unit Type: Light Infantry
Recruitment Building: Campvs
Melee Attack: 9
Missile Attack: 4
Charge Bonus: 1
Total Defense: 16
Recruitment Cost: 1091
Upkeep: 273

Special Abilities:
Bonus fighting cavalry
Javelins thrown before charge
Good Morale
Can sap

Worth in the field:
Rorarii are a cheap infantry choice early in the game. They are capable of matching other early infantry, but shouldn't be relied upon to act as your main infantry units.



I don't know, I think it would be nice to be able to print out the unit descriptions and have them for reference. Any comments...suggestions...ideas... criticisms?

Well here are the gameplay guides for specific factions. Notsure if that was what you were looking for though.....

The Faction strategy guides weren't what I was thinking of but I didn't see this thread before: :oops:

I was wondering wether to make a guide or a PBEM (I think that's the storys about your campaign?) like Maltz. Probably story. Or I could do both.....:juggle2:

No, PBM means play-by-E-mail: people take turns at playing the game (usually every players plays the reign of one king). What you are talking about is an After-Action-Report (AAR). But whatever its name, I think it would be nice to see how other people play.

I am working on a Makedonia AAR myself, titled "Rising Star", but I am only four turns in the game and already 35.000 Mnai in debt. It sounds a bit like the NASA that way ~:) .

Some people are supposedly working on an EB guide, don't be afraid to try making something of your own though.
