@Centurio Nixalsverdrus:
How did you get those civilians to walk around your settlement?
Great pics everyone:2thumbsup:
EDIT: I think I've found some animation problems.

Animation problem? You mean you've never heard of the famous Carthaginian find in Tunisia, with two halves of a sword stuck to the sides of a helmet, which was apparently a popular Barcid party trick referenced by Polybios? All historically accurate I assure you.
Ah well that explains it. The Barcas were cunning bastards...
Forgive me for ever doubting EB.:bow:
@TWFanatic:
In the settlement details menu, on the lower left-hand corner is a button called "view settlement on battle map". Make a save prior for I've heard that it occasionally CTDs when doing so. (Mine never though)
Oh, and your Celtic pic is great!
@all:
Glad to hear you like them.:yes:
"The real story of Troy"

(you can actually see dear patroklvs BTW. He's above "T")
"500 things we learned from 'The Real Story of Troy'"
#1 The Trojans carry the Ptolemaioi banner to war. Or it's Mycenaeans.
Sorry, couldn't resist :smash:
Of course it's Mycenaeans :smash: :smash: :smash:
the second thing a curious one could learn from 'The Real Story of Troy' is that MiniMe instead of "I've come" for some reasons typed "I'm come" and is not going to correct it, cause he's lazy
#3 Achilles refers to his beloved as Patroklvs deviating towards Roman nomenclature :grin:
That is actualy correct, AFAIK, ableit rather old fashioned.Quote:

Now, that's a beautiful scene Tellos. :yes: I hate fighting in forest maps (too difficult to control everything) but such a scenery is what I often dream myself in. ~:)

I had a screen shot of a battle which took place just outside of the Hot Gates, but I seem to have misplaced it. Perhaps it has been recycled...:skull:
Count! 6 naked guys and only a half of penis. They are shy or just do not want to make problems with public nudity.Quote:

That's a preview of sorts if you want of some geography modding me and LordBula worked on.Quote:

Tellos Athenaios, if i may use you picture, in the spirit of the holidays?......

some snow would be nice, but thats global warming for you!
All hail, indeed. I'm really excited about the prospects of more interesting geography, especially near mountains. Fighting in the mountains in RTW has none of the feeling of actual mountain combat. Hopefully, you've all remedied that with cliffs, rocks, etc...Quote:

Cheers.
How much work did that involve?
I have a nasty susipsion that it took a hell of a long time. It just looks ike that somehow...
At first I tried editing the .db file with a hex editor and that was a nightmare but thankfully LordBula made a great tool that makes it a lot easier to edit the file using Excel.Quote:

hold on, so in EB 1.1 were going to be able to tour the landscape as we tour cities?:2thumbsup:Quote:

ps- we really should start putting out EB postcards- thatll be cool!
No you don't tour the terrain like cities it's just that the landscapes you fight in will look better.Quote:

Postcards are not a bad idea...
oh, i just never really fought in heavily forested areas- i avoided them in my romani campaign
hm..... how about E-Cards?
Will that map be available in custom battles? It just looks like fun to play as all factions in but with my conquering (lack of) speed I'll never reach it as some factions, e.g. Casse or Lusotannan, and it looks great for Lusotannan ambush tactics.
It wasn't as much a forest as the slope of a mountain. And my troops stood on top of it - the AI was attacking. Mind you the AI decided there was only so much crap it could take so it retreated from the battle on its own account (when they were exhausted and had climbed not even halfway yet).Quote:

please say you charged down the slope! :charge:Quote:

:grin:
but seriously, it would be a cool map to play on.....
i would like to see a desert landscape where there are many sand dunes and if there is a sandstorm, the dunes would blow over and over a unit, killing them. :beam:

Having seen these; is it possible to turn off the radar in minimal UI? I prefer the standard UI and stand the widescreenish cropping because of that. ~:handball:
