Ode to EB
Lo! See as the EB team puts right
That of which CA had made a slight.
'Quisque est barbarus alio',
Such is their great motto.
How true it happens to be,
Even considering the Romani.
Gaul wasn't united by a tribe, ever.
Not in Europa Barbarorum either.
Know that fear you will betray,
When you face the dreaded Gaesatae.
The Casse must fight for their very lives:
They are threatened by large Eleutheroi hives.
The Swêboz have it relatively easy:
They face weak armies of Eleutheroi.
EB may be slightly misleading:
They limit themselves not to "Barbarians",
In the Eastern lands can now be found fighting
The Saka, Baktria and even Arabians.
No more watching the Return of the Mummy,
Egypt's army is now that of the Ptolemaioi.
The West has not been forgotten. With disdain,
Kart-Hadastim and Lusotannan face off in Spain.
The East has never been in such turmoil,
With The Grey Death of Seleukeia fighting
Against former Satrapies of Pontos and Hayasdan.
The Pahlav with who they are also contending
For control over the ancient Roads of the Asian.
They defend not for once the precious oil.
Originally founded in 2004,
They mod the series of Total War.
First for Rome and then for Medieval II,
They dedicate themselves to a period of time,
And they do this modification not for a dime,
But for historical accuracy and for us too!
They continue their great endeavor,
And leave us drooling monthly
With their previews of features, units and more,
And their new music by Casey and Wylie.
Now they work on 0.9
It is but a matter of months, they say
They don't expect any pay,
And it will be sweet as wine!
