Just wondering how many factions EB is planning on having, and more importantly, how many factions will be in the open beta?
Also what will the be the makeup of the "rebel forces", will every province pretty much be owned by one faction (like in vanilla) or will there be a lot of rebel provinces?
152. And that's just for the OB.
There are a lot of rebel provinces. The factions really only have what they had in history, and that leaves a lot spaces in certain areas. But they aren't just generic "rebels", there are unique units that are rebels.

Does EB use the same ERE/WRE rebel factions that BI had? I haven't played BI myself, but reading about the system it seems perfectly cut for the Seleucid and Ptolemaic empires who did have many trouble subduing seperatists because of the sheer sizes of their empires. It would also add some more challenge, because the Seleucid are in a vastly advantagous position due to their many rich provinces.
I believe the problem with that system is that each "rebel" faction requires it's own faction slot, so implementing it unfortunately eats away at the number of of available faction slots very quickly?

Right, but how many will make the open beta?Quote:

Oh, you wanted something more specific? Well, after due consideration and sophisticated computational analysis so advanced that you would suffer an immediate aneurysm if we even began to explain it to you, we have decided that the most accurate representation for the period involves no more than eight factions. All other units we've showcased, such as the Roman and Celtic units, will actually be rebels-only.
Sorry to disappoint you, but always remember: we know what's good for you way better than you do, and we always have.
I thought I was supposed to be head of misinformation... it looks like I'll hvae to give up that title. I have been humbled. :lipsrsealed2:Quote:

factions? yeah right like there is moddeling going on in the EBH.
Its just khelvan with 20 puppet accounts and few other. The only thing we do in the EBH is finding new ways to torture you.

As I said in that other forum...We can't release it for a couple days, at least, as we're still updating text on the website and we're still putting together the installer with our options. Then as soon as we're sure we've found as many of the campaign-blocking CTDs as we can without mass help, and fixed them if possible, it will be released.
This is basically the hypothetical scenario I discussed in the past. We are now at a point where the campaign is playable, but we still have CTD bugs that crop up occasionally. One has shown up 24 turns into the game or so - does it happen all the time? I'm not sure. But who wants to play a game, even a beta, that might crash, for -every- person, 24 turns into the game?
If you guys can tell me you wouldn't mind getting to test such a version with us, and find the bugs, I'm ok with releasing it. But I suspect that if we did that, every person but those who said "Yes, oh God yes!" here, would complain.
That's what I heard too! I believe it involves editing a few dozen text files and creating an extremely large amount of visuals from scratch.Quote:

look at rtr for an example, im just gald you havent set a date.
Ah, we can't blame the scripters for any CTD's (well, maybe one, but it's not game-crippling). Those pesky traiters, on the other hand... :san_angry:
