Said it yourself.Quote:
"When it is ready",
The ETA of EB 1.1 has been revealed before EB1.0 was even out or shortly thereafter:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I'm going to go out on a limb and say at some general point in the future after today.
dangerous words. We'll hold you to them.....
Since they are betatesting, it won't be terribly long.
...or will it?
The EB site is already updated with the new units, so it must be soon...
Sorry but you are wrong, the EB site as get the last unit´s update just before the release of 1.0
Oh by Iove, no!Quote:

Also, I´m probably wrong here but somehow the Median Medium Cavalry looks different. Sadly I could be wrong on all of this, I´ll check in if I find more things I don´t recognise.
Edit: Just firing wildy here in desperation, but I´ve found 2 Gallic noble units I dont´recognise. Of course I ahvn´t played much Arverni nor Aedui, but anyway, I´m desperate for new units.
2nd Edit: Holy crap, I´ve found some cool shit! 3 Kart-Hasdim units I could have sworn were not there before, had I only ever looked there before. But really, I truly don´t recognise those Balearic light infantry guys, but the late Libyans should of course be from the reforms I never got. I´m still not sure I´ve found anything, but I´m still happy, because those Balearic dudes look damn cool!
3d Edit: Okay, found these Parthohellenikoi Thureophoroi that I don´t recognise, probably just becasue I´ve never played as Pahlava. Damn, there probably aren´t any new units and I´m just getting excited for nothing and Leviathan is openly laughing at me. But still, I can´t stop looking.
4th Edit: I´ve found some Agema Klerouchikon Hippeon that I don´t remember from my last check of the Ptolies units, which I did just yesterday. Could still be wrong though.
5th Edit: Once again I´m probably wrong, but I don´t remember any Agema Hippeon Hellenikon from my Saka-Rauka campaign.
6th Edit: Okay, I´ve looked through all unit thingys, and this is what I´ve found that I don´t recognise. Could be more, could be less. But anyway, I´ve still found some new units that at least I didn´t know about, and that´s always good.
No, as said above, there's no new units there. If you don't believe them, at least take my word that there absolutely, positively, without a shred of doubt is no new units there for either of the Gallic factions. Sorry. :shame:Quote:

Well the EB 1.0 is a complete mod ! I'm wondering what you guys expect anymore ?! Imo No mod is as perfect as EB 1.0 is right now.
true
Even a complete product can always use even more cool shit.
Not "could be", but "are". Those guys were there already in like 0.8x or earlier...Quote:

Dammit. How could I miss have missed them? Stupid me.
Balearic light infantry and Agema Klerouchikon hippeon were also in 0.8. :laugh4:
Argh! I knew it, I´m just stupid. Very well, I shall have to start a new Kart-Hasdim, Pontos and Baktrian campaigns to test these to me "new" units out.
Stupid me, getting overexcited.
EB1.1. appeared to be committed to the 31 November 2007 release date. However, our analyst suggested that we may choose to delay the release of the mod to our second fiscal quarter in order to boost its financial results for 2008 and to avoid competing with the release of other highly anticipated titles.
Needless to say, we fired him because we dont get money profit nor get payed from EB.
this reminds me...i need to get back to beta testing 1.1 and trying out those new units and listening to that great new roman music...
Don't forget those new wonders and such.
Sounds like you've still got a lot of stuff to discover in 1.0 before you worry about 1.1 Appo :laugh4:Quote:

Well, I can't really answer on that. Guess for yourself, logically. There's a reason why it's not called 1.5 or 2.0.
I assure you, the bugs we will inevitably introduce into 1.1 should all be very minor.
...or will they?
Are there supposed be new units in 1.1 at all :inquisitive: ? I thought the unit limit had already been reached.
There are a few officially announced to be in 1.1 - like the Agema Orditon.
Ya, I seem to recall a Boii swordsman preview, among others... so the unit limit hasn't been reached with 1.0? That's good to hear.
No, it hasn't been reached with 1.0. I do believe it's full for 1.1
Well I hope they hurry up. I reckon I'll be sick of 1.0 pretty soon, probably around the year 2498
could somebody point out where that boii swordsman preview is please.
Maybe I'm a little drunk, but this made me smile. :grin: Where else do you have people wanting to know more about that one new unit that they missed the preview on? :laugh4:Quote:

All this, and we have to contend with Hax teasing us with v1.1 on the "How old is your oldest character?" thread...
Ah, don't bother. There's enough stuff in 1.0 to enjoy.
Anyways, we're working on balancing EB 1.1 now. The arcani keep killing the flaming pigs, and we don't want that.
Where's my Taverner's Bounty?
It's there in the Roman tax collector for Judaea's hand, if you can get him to open it. We haven't gotten it back from him yet, you see.
yeah I found it and I do remember seeing that preview now. What region is the Maure calvary guy from. I know I will probably have to be patient and just wait for 1.1 to find out.
I'm appalled that Pezhetaroi hasn't taken the opportunity created by this thread to tell us about the fourth Roman reform being scripted to allow for the introduction of lorica segmentata.Quote:

The Legionary, completely painted red, armed with a gladius, two pilas and a lorica segmentata.
The Cavalry, also red, armed with a big lance and long sword, also with LS and stirrups.
The Archers, red with composite bow and LS, knife for melee.
The Artillery, WW2 Machine gun like ballista, able to fire 2 huge arrows per second over 4 km.
RSF, Roman Special Forces. A unique unit including Arcani, Flaming Pigs, Egyptian Chariots, Oliphants, Amazons, Berserkers, Head Hurlers, Camels and Screaming Women, all wearing LS and wielding Katana swords. Best unit in the game.
This way there´s room for those 20 new special unique all-inclusive Dahae units everybody wants.
I wish I could, I wish I could... But I'm not on the 1.1 team, see. My views on lorica segmentata did not synergise with official viewpoints, and so I was placed in a peripherality where I could exercise and sharpen further my virtue of patience on an earlier version to perfect what had already gone before, adding my estemed advice and feedback that others who expressed greater synergy might conceptualise and leverage upon added knowledgification to transmogrify the systemic experience of EB as we know it.Quote:

uhm... no I don't. :dizzy2: and I am serious I don't know. If you know please PM me where to get it and where I need to put it. :help:Quote:

That would be 2 katanas each, right? Coz there's nothing very "Special Forces" about only wielding 1... :inquisitive:Quote:

I presume the elephants will have several katanas attached to their trunks also?Quote:

Expected releasedate: 31 April 2008.
I hope the 30th of april of 08 because that would be the best birthday present ever.:birthday2:
You know those huge Mumakils form LOTR? Well let´s just say that compared to the new Roman elephants those guys are like two 90 years old indians with hearing problems in a canoe compared to a US Navy Aircarrier Battlegroup with nukes and the authorisation to use em.

What the hell are you guys jabbering about? There is no EB 1.1. You have already got the finished product. What more do you guys want from us? A shiatsu rub and a special's offer from a Thracian brothel with the 20% discount? Give us a break. Unlike those other sadist I refer to as "colleagues" I can't see the humour in letting you live with false expectations.
Show's over people, there is nothing to see here. We have done absolutely nothing since, what, 2005? We even kept the "1.0" release for the shits and the giggles while teasing you with vastly outdated builds. I can't apologize for anyone, but that's the way it is.
Show's over, folks.
I thought they were referring to EB1.1 aka EBI.I? :inquisitive:
Must've been the overkill of 1337 language on these boards...
No, I am talking about the "1.0" build we released some months ago. You know the one we kept for almost two years for ourselves.
...I am afraid my "colleague" Tellos is too brain-washed to realize certain things. He does not even react to the blatant blinking of my eyes. May the gods have mercy upon his sould... :no:
TPC, does the idea of Sweboz in the East make you lol and go wtf at the same time?
Oh that one. Gah, I thought we wrapped 0.6 in a gift box there and called 1.0 instead?Quote:

-A guy at the Multiplayer forum is asking about one since he has not found one so far, and unfortunatly I don't know what to respond (as I am an illiterate when it comes to PCs)
If you want to play MP with him, give him yours. They need to be identical, as do all the rest of your files. Use the installation validation tool to check that you have identical installations (the output should be identical).
Uh, did Cataphract say there will BE no 1.1? I truly hope this is jest.:skull:
It might be.
That would be extrmely sad and awefully RTR of you guys. ::thumbsdown:
It might be.
It might indeed. *shifty eyes*
Alright, Ive had it. Ive held out long enough. Im starting the Pahlava campaign Ive been itching for. Even though I have a horrible feeling 1.1 will be released later this week and all the hours I spend building a Persian empire between now and then will have been in vain. ~:(
I suppose it won't be save game compatable... will it? Go on, ye can give us that much! :beam:
Probably it will not be compatible.Quote:

The next version is not savegame compatible.
Don't worry yourself. A certain law dictates that 1.1 will be released just as I'm about to achieve the Marian reforms in my current campaign. The EB team always manages this unless I cheat to get them. I don't know how they know.Quote:

Personally I have no problems with 1.0 so I just want extra units/sripted events/traits and other bonus stuff like that.
Hopefully this will not be a case where people start saying 'If it ain't broke don't fix it.'
So in a stunning about-turn from his usual ambiguous 'it might be', in answering us non-initiated EB fans he has given us a tacit confirmation that there a next version does exist and will be playable by us!Quote:

I actually think I can confirm that the next 5 releases following the upcoming will also not be savegame compatible with eachother.
:book: I have been around this forum for a reasonable time and i am very pleased and thankfully for what your guys have done for us as fans. But somehow i never get used to the phrase ' it is done when it is done '. In a way it does not feel good, even when i understand it is not fair to try to pin you down on a possible time off release. I mean nothing bad, it is just my opinion and feeling on this matter. Again all my gratitude on what you guys have achieved with this mod, truly fantastic.:balloon2:
You could confidently say that about every future release. Seriously, when has any new version ever been saved game compatible?Quote:
