Bartix; a land of mist beauty and yellow fever. Home to many bartixian tribes, they speak a strange languge that consists of grunting and and oinking. They are of Persix and scythix stock, they are very lean. Infact, they look like stick people. Bartix is a large island in the middle of the caspixian sea
.

They use pikes that are 150 feet long.

Basic cavalry of the bartix army.

Bartixian Trait:

True Bartixian:
This man is a true Bartixian, able to befuddle and bewilder the greatest minds of his age with his encoded messages while insulting them all with his superior mental faculties. His grasp of Bartixian heiroglyphics is unmatched. Woe unto those 20-watt light bulbs who dare oppose or insult him! For he will unleash a rain of alien spacecraft upon them from Uranix that will shag them like objects (Repeat FIVE Times)!

Greetings, EB fans! This week’s preview will be of some of the more powerful bartix units.


Bartix war snake

http://img102.echo.cx/img102/7141/un...nake7rg.th.png

Bartix war snake...they are faster then cavalry, 3 feet long, and bite right threw any kind of shield. They are the bartix answer to RTW vanilla war dogs.

no type of infantry can attack them, They can take out entire armies before any one even tries to
fight back.


Bartixain duck riders


http://img283.echo.cx/img283/630/duck3hn.th.png


They scare elephants and cavalry. They also have an AP attack that allows them destroy any thing in their path. They cause instant routs and they come back to life after every battle. They are also built in “0”turns and cost 10 denarii.

Bartix battle ninja

(Picture of ninja waiting to flip out from behind a wall and kill some guy)

http://img168.echo.cx/img168/4426/ninja0ji.png






These guys are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet. They are mammals and the filp out and kill people. A ninja once kiled a kid just because he opened a window. When they are not flipping out and kiling people, they are usually busy flying.

armoured *EDIT*

*Picture removed*

*EDIT*

Kataprktix II





They are huge, cause instant routs, and are a bright pink.


http://img36.echo.cx/img36/7949/copy...edk28nb.th.png


http://img286.echo.cx/img286/2164/ba...eathray2ru.png

The fearsome Bartix urANUS rayix is a fearsome weapon to behold, sitting on the Bartix homeworldix of urANUS. It is capable of zapping soldiers into pork scratchings, and turning nearby ones into tasty barbacue snacks for the starving Bartixan masses


The Bartix Kamikazix Squirrel unit, that stroms the enemy before being exploded by the Mind Rays from the Bartix King and thus splattering all over the enemy units making them all sticky and stuff and thus sabotaging their fighting effeciency!

http://img239.echo.cx/img239/7296/bartixking5dq.jpg

This is the bartix sacred-samuri-band, they like totaly stab people.

It doesn't, but it's a name of a company. I see it also appears as deformation of "Bartek" which is Polish for Bartholomew.

Damn it! :furious3: I will add that to my first post. :embarassed:

Thanks for the extra content! I will list the credits at the bottom of my first post :bow:

I chuckled a few times, but I'm shocked that you actually went to the trouble.

*claps* With people like you about, the legend will live on for future generations to point at, laugh at, and generally make fun of. You forgot though, that the Bartixian secret weapon is secret weaponsix from Uranus!

Yes, i should add that! :laugh4:

great preview , I no i'm gonna play this one when I get EB ~D

and BTW the Pandix is now offically my favorite unit ! ~:cheers:

Read his other posts. He may be playful and a little kooky, but he doesn't seem very handicapped to me.

WHAT THE F***ing heLL ARE YOU 10 WATT LIGHT BULB?!

How exactly did you get a skinner? ~:eek:

:laugh4:

Y'know, i think that the immortal thread, "so what 'Bartix!?' should be made a sticky in the entrance hall, and made compulsary reading for all Junior Members. They should then take a test, where if they manage to remember five of the most memorable things from it that everyone knows, they get to be a member. Btw, stormy, i love your siggy.

[mode=aboix]

WHAT ThE F*kNg hELL, ARE yU ALL 20 WATT LIGHTBULB (REPEAT 5 TIMES)!!1!? TELL M NOW, OR ALIEN INVASION WILL BE SENT FORTH WHN PRES THIS LINK!!!11!!

PRES THIS LINK!!!11!!

I always did find the google link a nice touch ~;)

:balloon2:

Just to show the wonderful legacy that Bartix has left, i have looked on the "who's online" list, and at any one point in time, 2 people will be looking at "so what 'bartix'!!!?" and 5 people looking at this.

A wonderful legacy, from an utter nut.

Maybe one day, he will come back from Uranus and kill us all with a link to google, or with his secret weapon, from Uranus!!!

Uhh... Mongoose? I didn't make that Bartix sig. Teleklos did.

Not bad for a count down, though. ~:cheers:

No problems. I even thought this might be appropriate:

(please note that this is too big to use as a signature banner)

Crossposting makes baby Jesus cry.

I just want to say I'm very happy that this thread was not closed like it was elsewhere. It's a fun diversion ***specifically*** for this board, like it was on the other too. And it is mostly parody on RTW and EB fora and posts, with people making fun of themselves. Sheesh.

:jumping:

Thanks :bow:


http://img271.echo.cx/img271/7219/untitledeb5nr.th.png


Bartix war snake...they are faster then cavalry, 3 feet long, and bite right threw any kind of shield. They are the bartix answer to RTW vanilla war dogs.

also, infantry can't attack them. They can take out entire armys before any one even tries to fight back. :charge:

Next friday there wil be another preview ~:cool:

Don't forget the faction icon: ~:cool:

Hurrah!!

Good one mongoose. Very funny. ~:)

Thanks. ~:cool:

There will be more next week. :charge:


Dux, Thanks for faction icon! ~:cool:

why did they close this thread over at twc? shouldn't EB have some say in what threads are closed in their forum?

anyway, isn't that bulb too bright for 20 watts?

One of the mods there wanted to give out warnings for the love of god :stwshame:

EDIT:

Yeah, looks more like a F'****NG 30 watt to me ~D

:laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

This is the funniest forum ever (and most pleasant). Never met such nice, understanding, patient and funny people on a forum before ~D

Thanks...there will be more next week ~:cheers: About five new bartix units. :charge:

Hey hate to be a bad sport but are you sure those are historically accurate?

Contemporary accounts on Bartixix troops, as well as their Uranix allies, are contraditcix at best.

Are we going to see th uranus preview next friday?

Is it true that Bartix will be able to develope gift televisions to give to other nations that will play teletubbies and cause its population to be dead at the age 1,1/2? Because I would be intrested into how you can balance this with game play. ~D

i still can't believe you guys aren't including the armored whores...

and whar about those feared Spartix Gayix

This thread was funny, but now it has reached its end, IMHO. Making fun is one thing, doing the same joke and over is not.

But ignore me, I have got to study and that would make you lose your sense of humour as well!

Wow. This looks great! Great Job EB, as always!

I brought it up on the mod forum, and the consensus was that it was funny but veered toward spam. Posts like "OMC!(Oh my Cock) It is YOU who is eating the mushrooms!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :faints:" are generally not approved of at TWC, rightly or wrongly. I mean, stuff like that is just gibberish, and there were other posts like it. If people had kept on with the jocular historical arguments ("I'm ok with the heat seeking darts, but I would like to see some evidence for the one handed grip of the spears") and similar intelligible but silly remarks, then it probably wouldn't have been closed.

I still think that it should have been left open, but I was outnumbered.

Centurion Quintus is not a mod. All TWC mods (Urbanis Legio, Quaestor, Praetor, Consul, Dictator) have some kind of shield design on their user group graphic, excluding local mods (like Khelvan). Centurion Quintus is just a Civitates—somewhat comparable to the Guild's Senior Member honorific, although rather more dramatic—and he's only that temporarily and by mistake.

But enough of this. Let's not derail this thread from sheer silliness.

It's your damn fault for having such strange names for your moderators! ~;)


BTW, i agree with you on Mount and blade. ~D

Back on topic:

Would it be better to add new bartix content on fridays or just when ever it's ready?

i donwloaded mount&blade. played it for 20 minutes and i wanna see some damn battles! I like RPG's but this one is getting dull
