Ασια των βαρβαρων - Asia ton Barbaron

nice logo(whoever made it^^) and I like the Image above too but that is no reason to quote it, that just makes the thread longer and less clear.

furthermore I haven't noticed any more real progress since the change in management, I rather have the feeling that this thread mainly features discussions that (in a way)had been held years ago :(
and hostility

btw I know that concepts, images, historical research etc take lots of time and are important for a project like this(things I often do for mods actually) but in this case it really is time to spread out some texture/ingame previews, otherwise Jirisys will bury the already dead AtB instead of reviving it.

I made it :grin: thanks.

I quoted it because of all the banter, the pre-preview will be overlooked.

Do not mind the hostility, moderators are here to remove any sort of it.

Have I told you that our first full preview will be (hopefully) done for friday :grin:

You don't see progress because you're outside Santa's factory. If you get in you will notice all the unpaid elves being exploited to death :laugh4:

Lies...*cough*...kill him...*choke*...please!...*dies*

nah I don't mind the hostility, It's just sooooo entertaining! but I know that it does not belong here, like beer at work!

honestly, everyone who skims through the thread sees this HUGE banner, It's not like there are any other large images that draw ones attention, so no reason to quote it.

if you show me some candy I may come into Santa's factory but when I don't have proof that there is candy inside I have no reason to follow that tired little elf with a chain around his neck into the building!!

Wait a week more and lots and lots of candy will be given :grin:

Ασια των βαρβαρων - Asia ton Barbaron

ΑΝΔΡΩΝ ΕΠΙΦΑΝΩΝ ΠΑΣΑ Η ΓΗ ΤΑΦΟΣ - The grave of great men is the whole Earth.
-Thucydides

Official Announcement

Greeting Europa Barbarorum fans.
I have several announcements to make from the whole team.
I will not keep you waiting.

1. We are currently working hard on our next preview, however it is possible it will be delayed a few days, possibly until next week. Other matters require a lot from us too.
   
2. A contest will be devised: After each preview, you can post here your guesses for the next faction we are going to preview, only one guess is allowed, and the first person to guess correctly before the next pre-preview will be granted Team Member Access to our development forum until the full preview comes out. Of course, as you may have deducted; team members can't participate in this contest.
   
3. We are currently in dire need for a modeler and a skinner. While some of us can do a tad of both, we need someone who is can do more complex things. We urge you to help us, if you do; we might even get more and more previews sooner.
   
4. Also here we would like to announce our 2D art; first one is the logo, which is in the first post of this thread. The second one is the official banner, used for each preview, announcement or newsletter in the forums. You can see it at the top of this post or on any other official posts.
   
5. We will be making a bi-monthly (every two weeks) newsletter here; so you may see how big is our progress. Starting Monday, March 28th.

That is all. Thanks for your support and I hope you have a good day.

If you guys want to use my faction symbols or skins, I'm okay with it. If you want a skinner, I'd be glad to help (again).
This was my old Maurya symbol:

I am sure that would be great!

Not to offend anyone or something, but can something be scavenged from previous ATB, of course with permissions?

Lots, but we try not to, exhumating a dead body always feels weird.

~Jirisys ()

Have you guys asked gamegeek about this?

Wait, so you are not reviving the project at all but starting again and just using the same name? Bah, and I got all excited when I saw this title. I'm trying not to critisize but I've not seen much leadership from you in this thread.

Best of luck and hope things work well for the project.

seconded, if rep are exist in da org, I'll rep you, but now, have a balloon for telling the truth :balloon:

We could better just revive the old one, the map and Indian factions are done and so are most skins for the Hellenistic factions.

but definitely not with Jirisys and BeOs as leaders, Svramj, Gamegeek, Finn, and even you are more deserving than that hijackers

Svramj is gone, gamegeek could be a better leader, we should ask him.

We're not reviving it because it will be different. We had a few annoyances with the other one. Such as the fact that Makedonia there will be pretty much useless, Kyrene is there for no reason, etc.

We have the same outlines and basic concepts. We are actually using old AtB research (ask svramj). Besides; what's the fun in taking someone else's almost complete campaign and then only playing it for twenty minutes till you win? We want to create a new thing out of the same concept. We have lots of new things and removed several old ones.

Also the exhumating the dead body part... I wasn't talking about AtB...

What? I'm trying to be like DaVinci here... Can't blame me...

Svramj is fine with the project; he in fact, granted me admin access to the old AtB forums, is helping me A LOT with the maurya faction and further, the many other indian ones. He is a Moderator of the forum and also has helped us gladly, and we are in deep gratitude for that, you can see him on the members section by the way.

If someone liked the concept, they will stick around (like beos, svramj, me, etc) and try to make it better to suit their perspectives.

If someone liked the mod itself, they will be somewhat dissapointed at first, but possibly could wind up to like the new one as much as they liked the old one.

If someone dislikes either the leaders, members or has a dogmatic love for the old one, they will insult and try to undermine other people's effort into changing the concepts.

Stop the banter.

Did you see what his concept was going to be? Did you actually read the first few pages of this?

We obviously need more cities in India, some more steppe cities, and maybe a couple more in China

(Also it will be from 80 BC)

I think his concept is WAY more far-fetched than mine.

If you excuse me, I have to help out the mod come along. Also preview will obviously be moved to monday due to several real-life issues.

~Jirisys ()

No fights, please. If you have complaints, PM me.

All this fuss IMO is with Jyris taking the name, if the project name is changed as a compromise, wont everyone just be happy and let this go on???

Skullheadhq, for your information i'm back to atb :) Jiri is doing a good job coordinating the team. Its not about leaders, its about the whole team. remember the old team ? ppl dropped like flies. one by one everyone vanished until ony we were left. Even gamegeek has come forward helping us here. I'd say lets revive it and get it done. The Indians are being revived again and are coming up bigger and better now :)

:brood: Horaoy for dsyelixa! :brood:

Like you the police doesn't get coerced by kidnappers or hostage-grabbers. Like Apple doesn't get coerced for diffamation and fraud on the getamac ads, and like McDonalds doesn't get coerced by any sort of government restrictive policy for food and children advertising...

I won't be coerced by a few people angry because they have a dogmatic attachment to something that is semantically unimportant and unrestricted.

~Jirisys ()

If its not the name WHAT BE THE PROBLEM then?

That isn't helping at all.

Thead closed until further notice.

Incorrect...I have not come forward with help really, I'm undecided on that.

I hoped to resolve this in private, but apparently that isn't possible.

At the request of Jirisys, this thread will remain closed. You can now follow the Asia ton Barbaron project in the Forge.
