Personlly, I'm itching to get EB and install it.
Very anxious. It’s almost as exciting as the ongoing Iranian election. ~D
Dâriûsh, you must vote NOW!!
The only thing that hasn't heightened my anxiousness for EB is the fact that I have lost my cd1 and there is no crack for the 1.2 patch yet :(
I'm debating weather to play RTR 6.0 and EB.
Good lord I wish I could let you guys know so many of the incredible things we've got that we're working on! I'm so full of anticipation of our release of all this stuff that it's killing me. Of couse I'm not saying a word, and we still have a lot to do, but I'm consistently amazed even now at the things that are being done, and I know that this policy will make for a much better download when all is said and done. And I know that all of you will be blown away when the final product is let loose upon this earth! :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:
I voted for 'excited', but darned that 'Ach! Kevlan!' option looks tempting.
I haven't played RTW in weeks now. Only thing that will bring me back is EB.
I voted for 'I cant wait'
EB will be amazing and impossible to top, unless of course they make a 2nd version ~;)
You know, the funny thing is, I'v been spending a lot of time on the RTR forums (I think it will be a really good mod as well) but everyone there is comparing about how this feature will beat EB and that unit looks wayyyy better than the unit in EB and how AOR will kick EB's ass any day and then noone will care about EB anyway, as if theres some kind of cut-throat competition going on between the two mods.
Whereas here, noone really cares.
Which is quite refreshing :)
Oh and yeah, can't wait :D
That's because RTR fanboys feel emasculated by the power of EB ~:cheers:
I voted "I'm really excited!". Don`t have enought time for " I can't wait!" at the moment.
I voted for RTR, because unlike you all, I've seen EB, and let me tell you, it's really crappy... especially the map...
;)
EB does look good, so there`s no way I`m not going to try it ~:cheers:
The fact that I am here, surfing the forums while I should be studying, means a lot.
For the record, I voted "I can't wait".

I'm waiting for Sarcasm explanation...
I'm fairly excited but apart form some nice looking faction previews i have no idea what makes EB so special.
Personaly I'm not going to get too excited just because the mod members keep going on about how great it will be.
Well, that Eb member sig is coming off right now!Quote:

Having played CTW lans, I have seen how piss poor the original RTW mp was. I really look forward to EB now!
Heh...try mixing Probability and Statistic, Mechanical Technology, Mathematical Analysis, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Robotics, etc...and then trying to get something done for the mod.Quote:

Voting Gah! for the first time in the history of my presence on the Org.
Aye, the mod looks good but until the hornblowers release it, we'll basically never know. I am looking forward to playing it but have got the shits with"Countdown To open beta". It's got to be the longest goddamn countdown in Modding history!Quote:

I pity the poor bastards if EB aint all it's cracked up to be.
Oh, ye of little faith ~;)Quote:

RTR's community is bragging a lot more than EB.
and be honest, looking at screenies, reading historical sources and reading what EB is doing with the Strat-map. RTR doesnt come close.
EB is going to be great, I just know it will.
I will not put RTR away when EB comes around though , both mods are just great ~:cheers:
:balloon2:
I played RTR when it first came out but the behavior of their developers truly disgusted me to the core and I uninstalled it. To go around saying "F' EB, they suck and stuff because we say so, lets threaten them on our chatrooms for no apparent reason and badmouth them without provocation" is just so assanine and petty that I feel it completely discredits their work.
Maybe its just me, but I refuse to play something developed by a bunch of four year olds.
Zero, I've seen this and i must say,RTR, don't try to get me to play your mod. EB is for me!
And wait, Eadingas, you're a EB member aren't you? And you voted Eb is rubbish!
... And there he goes berserk. ~:handball:
The Mark, spot on!~:)
mmm, I too was disappointed in the attitude of senior RTR staff.
I was more surprised by the attitude of TWC members though- that just because they're acting like a bunch of nerdy insecure 15 year olds, noone should know because it'll cause 'rifts' in the TW community.
Personally I'd like to know the kind of people who are making a mod because for me it's not irrelevant.
I'm trying not to bash them too much. I'll definately download their mod, or at least I definately will if they release theirs before EB, but I just like this community so much more than the other ones. There's a friendliness here, as well as some serious intellectual rigour and a non-competitive attitude that just makes it all feel a bit more grown-up than the other TW places.
Actually, it's all a big prank. EB will be nothing but a horrible virus that will erase your hard drive and swear at you when you have your sound on. ~;)Quote:

the only faction that really was researched is bartix.
The swears will be in ancient Aramean, so not much to worry about... ~DQuote:

Well, though other, more fantastic (as in fantasy, not excellence) mods have the majority of my angst (being the unapplied form of anxious), (for instance, The Fourth Age: Total War) EB will fulfill my innate penchant for realism and accuracy.
EDIT: Caution: This message is unintentionally convoluted.
Bartix is real, yes. ~;)Quote:

The swearing will be in many languages but will also be translated in english and many other modern languages so you will know what it's saying.( :furious3: )
as long as they give subtitles its ok by me ~;)
EB is elitist because they have the swear words in languages other then english! :furious3:
~;)
You bet your mamushka's zhopa we do ;)
yes Jerby what is EB? I'd really like to know... :p
btw remember who said it about the lame belgium-dutch jokes, it wasn't me was it ~;) ?
well, as far as i know. EB is a Mod, and the jokes are still lame ~;)
I don't know about anyone else but im confused to what the difference between EB and RTR. I've been looking through both sets of previews and such and they both sound interesting. However i have heard on other forums that EB is a more 'stabalized' development whereas RTR is more loikely to have more bugs. I suppose the best thing to do is play the two to come to a conclusion.
One thing for sure is that im very impressed and delighted that the mods have been effective in replacing the vanilla version.
If you don't know, you need to have that conversation with dad and mom about bees, and flowers, and babies... ~DQuote:

Any way, what do you use for the faction names? secret alien messages?
they burn down woods and look for patterns. wichthey translate to letters. there arent much trees around khelvan's house (anymore)
I always thought it had something to do with crop circles.

I cant see any vote category fitting for me. I really wanna play EB but im not gonna get anxious for it. I have to be anxious about so many things in real life that i refuse to be anxious for a computer game.
About RTR vs EB and all sorts of modding conflicts, to all those who spend even minutes of their lives intriguing, manipulating and playing nerdy games of authority and power, i have only this to say
GET A LIFE!!!!!
and propably a girlfriend....
~:cheers:
his mothers ass corect?Quote:

It's not, it's Russian. Well, Russian-ish, with heavy anglicization ;)

Well, I got to leave for four weeks in late July. I bet some evil force will make EB come out like two days before I have to leave! ~;)
Or 1 day after.
in answer to the original question: like, bloody damnedly impatient? I know it's hard on the mods but all the same I still can't wait to get my hands on their throats for not working faster (^_^) And all this because it looks so yum-yum good in the screenshots...
Gah!
I go away for a while and everyone starts the RTR vs. EB thing here. Guys, let's leave that to other forums. We have no need of it. Our work stands on its own. We have no need to brag about what we do, we simply state what we do (some of it, to preserve surprises) and will allow you all to judge if it is good or not once released.
Many of us love it, but you may not. We'll see. Personally, I am looking forward to other mods quite a bit, such as Blue Lotus. But then again, after working a summer at Little Caesar's pizza and smelling the dough all day, I could never eat a Little Caesar's pizza again. I just kept smelling the dough. I haven't played EB since I started modding it...maybe once it is a finished product and the frustration of modding has passed...
Though, once it is finished I am sure I will have pages upon pages of people complaining about it to look forward to, no matter how good it is. Alas...
So, I say, Gah!
I certainly tend to flee from places full of excited guys such as this... :uhoh2:
I need this like i need my heart or my brain. Even RTR looks like a mod made by kiddies when compared to the amazingness of this.... Roll on EB!!!!!
run dux, run while you still can
