100,000 EBH Posts (& Unit Preview)
100.000
To all of you coming here, a big discrepancy must have made itself evident. While Eb can account for something like 163.000+ posts only 63K of those were of the public domain. The rest were not existent. What are they about? Where are they hidden?
This thread is to let you know...

Never mind the "300" Focus on the 100.000. The 100.000 post. It happened a few days ago.

Just to give you people a "inside" into our world, EBH, EB home. It is a place of wonder and work. Somewhere out of the boundaries of RL, a place where we military historians, artists, web monkeys, codderz, trait-ors, and even us voicemodders like. It is here that EB was and is still being created. The number 100.000 is the posts it took for us to get to where we are now. I honestly believe that a "beta" like EB is worth a lot more than other "fully develloped" mods, even games out there. If nothing else, playing it you will know why we love it. It took 100.000 posts on our internal forum, our work and your patience to see it through.
Of course, this isn't over. Far from it. More than 20 of us (me among them) have expressed our desire to continue work on EB with 6 planning to work more in the future. Now, I won't lie to you. There are members among us who are worth more than half the team. There are others who just manage to pull their own weight, and others who just hang about. It isn't a matter of one being more worthy than someone else, far from it, just a matter of time and RL commitments. Heck, one of our members who didn't vote on the above internal "gallop" was out in military drills with his unit.
There are still so many more things we want to do... So much more we see in Europa Barbarorum. Yet we do NOT forget our dues. We are thankful to CA for a magnificent game to mod, and are gearing up for transition on M2TW engine. Update 2 is shaping up to be a very nice thing. Our primary concern right now, is the "antitraits" which is broken. As Europa Barbarorum relies heavily on traits and scripts, not having them, will make translating into M2TW, very, very difficult.
To conclude, don't let the 100.000 post godzilla get you! It is a tame kind of godzilla, our godzilla. It is us! Here is a sample of the goodness that awaits you in a future version of EB. A goodness made possible because of those 100.000 posts. (Don't try to guess what kind of unit it is, it IS difficult, but you are more than welcome to try!)
You can always go check the https://www.europabarbarorum.com/factions.html site for references that will help you discern the following units. Click on the faction you want, then click on the "units" for some quick pictorial reference. Accurate too. All 350+ units of 0.81a EB are now in there. (-Edit: Just edited this to mention our web guy Krusader who went above and beyond for the site to be complete, and once you see it, you will understand the magnitude of the work involved).
I will give you one name... Stephan25... He is one of our most talented artists and if the pics below won't convince you about that, nothing will!

To give or not to give them a hint regarding their guesses... :grin: Nah I won't, far too few have tried yet.

You should at least say which factions are those. I think I see Baktria or even Celtic factions.
I will try with Illyrian Skirmisher, but could be a Ligurian too.

(Bows and offers sacrifices to the EB pantheon of heroes). I feel like a mere mortal amongst these Gods of modding.

Hmmm a small oversight. You get the craftyness award Sir Ed. Though you could have pretended it was a guess-- we would have thought you a wizard then :laugh4:.

Well maybe you guys could do another preview soon. And next time I won't dabble in black magic to gain my insight. But overall this is a great mod you've created, I am really enjoying my current Carthage campaign. Hats off to the entire EB team.

it's interesting that some of the image names are casse, averni, and aduei. i have no clue how any hellenic influence would get that far. hmmmm

Those units are probably recruitable in hellenic provinces if conquered by Casse, Arvernii or Aedui, so it's more of celtic influence spreading to Hellas. Don't take this as a fact for I have a slight tendency of being stupid.

I would say they'll be recruitable somewhere in asia minor for the seleucs, ptolies and pontos, other helens: around ancyra:yes:
and for Case, Arveni and Aedui in helenic towns on the medetirian cost - like massila:idea2:
Re: 100,000 EBH Posts (& Unit Preview)
There were celtic mercenaries on every Hellenistic power that was. They influenced heavily the Hellenistic states of the era. The old round "hoplon" full bronze shield was gradually phased out, in favor of the celtic thureos. They were influenced in return. Those living near Hellenic cities/states or those who had fought with Hellenic armies would arm themselves thus, and fight in that manner. Greeks had a great deal of respect for the Celts... Probably after the fate of Ptolemaios Keraunos, who fought them...
Re: 100,000 EBH Posts (& Unit Preview)
Historical reference would be Massilians and Galatians, who had 'Hellenized' or 'Celticized' warriors, who adopted various bits and pieces of the other culture's society. Very interesting mixture of things, at that, and we thought it'd be a nice touch for Celts invading Greece, or Hellenes in Celtic territories, to also perhaps get similar units, representing the integration of some locals who willingly embrace some aspects of the foreign culture.

Nice. Now I need the KH to have some sort of effective swordsman for assault or shock... and they need to look KOOL too.
