Good stuff!

I have a few questions

JMRC, your title says "EB2 PM" - what does "PM" stand for?
What is the "Eras functionality"? I still don't quite understand.
Which factions (or which EB1 factions, at least) will use Q-Celtic? I.e. which language is it in layman's terms?

Cheers!

Hi. I'll answer the first 2 questions, but the other one will be answered in our FAQ, ok?

PM stands for Project Manager. I'm happy and proud to be contributing to the team in the organizing function.

The Eras funcionality can be used when you're preparing a custom battle and you can choose between 3 predetermined sets: Early, Later and All (I'm answering from memory, so they may be 4, though). We are going to use one of those settings to represent the factional recruitment, so the players don't need to be changing the EDU file, as happens currently in EB1.

This is necessary because a faction will be able to recruit more than 100 units, so some of them don't show up in the selection pool.

i know this has nothingto do with unit creation but will the factions in custom battles have their real unit roster becuse in eb1 everyone had exactly the samew thing in custom battle. also will the faction names stay the same because i didnt actualy know who anyonewas other than the romans.

**Copperknickers** · 03-18-2008, 19:03

I'm not actually an EB member, but i think noone will mind if i answer those questions?

Yes, factions will have their own units due to the eras functionality (ie 'early', 'high', 'late' and 'all' settings you get before a custom battle in med 2, which was previously unavailible) as has just been said.

and no, the factions names wont be changed, as even i know that Sweboz are germanic, Casse british, Pahlava parthian, Quarthadast carthaginian, Romani roman, Makedonia macedonian, Sauromatae sarmation, etc, without so much as a PHD in Ancient roman history.

Also there is a screenshot showing the faction select, and the names haven't been changed.

Actually, you can get the correct units in EB1 custom battles by replacing R:TW\EB\Data\export_descr_unit.txt with the file found in the "R:TW\EB\mp custom game edu" folder. Don't forget to replace it with the back-up file (in the "R:TW\EB\sp game edu backup" folder) when you want to play a campaign game again.

Don't know how you found that pic, but just so you all know, that isn't the real skin for the hoplites, just a mix and match from EB1...the EB2 skin, is gonna be different.

**Tellos Athenaios** · 03-25-2008, 06:52

Quite different, it is...

So its fake? Well the poly count is too high for it to be a EB1 port...

You didn't understand. This is a work-in-progress for EB2. The model is from M2TW, but the skin is not. If you liked, I can only say that final will be even better.

I would also like to know how the pic was found... I just hope it was just... luck... (?)

I think it was found in the Modders' Classified Ads over at TWC.

**General Appo** · 03-29-2008, 10:09

A year or two. So you´ll just have stopped drooling over the new pictures.

**Mithridates VI Eupator** · 03-31-2008, 15:53

Sweet!

Those Euzonoi look great! Can't wait for further info...
I'll just have to continue playing EB1, I guess. I've got some nice Indo-Saka action going at the moment!
Keep up the good work!

Just how many skins per unit component can you have?

**paullus** · 04-04-2008, 05:44

a lot. something like 6 torsos, 6 heads/helmets, 6 legs, not sure on the weapons, but something like 8 shields. and you can do a different group for each faction.

**Gebeleisis** · 04-04-2008, 22:26

sounds nice

**antisocialmunky** · 04-05-2008, 04:35

Sounds epic and huge.

**V.T. Marvin** · 04-06-2008, 10:58

Sounds like most of will have to buy a new computer...

...wait a minute! Most of will have a new computer BY THEN!!!

**antisocialmunky** · 04-07-2008, 03:19

Is there anyway to disable the built in reenforcement limit? It seriously underestimates my specs.

Yes, open up your medieval2.preference file in Sega\M2TW folder and add "unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 1" under [game]. It should look like this;

[game]
unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 1

**Subedei** · 04-09-2008, 13:05

WOW! A spiritual supporter of ths mod!

I will be patiently waiting for this! And play EB 1.1. in the meantime...

**The Braindead Colonel** · 04-27-2008, 18:00

What is the process of making the LODs? Does the modeler have to turn those in with the main model, or do you have a separate group of modelers doing this terribly boring but really necessary work? Some units in EB1 didn't have LODs, which is a bit of a problem for even fast computers, let alone in mp.
