    I honestly feel long long blocks of text, like the 'dramatic novelisation' and history of each faction and so on, could be split into parts on separate pages, it'd be easier on the eyes and less scroll-heavy?

    Creating an 'interactive' unit card section would be good too, so people could SEE the unit cards online. It'd be the most shiny thing. Unit card, screenshots of the unit at attention and in action.

    ...A Makedonian history that nicely stands in the middle ground and takes into account all viewpoints would be nice. o.O But hey, who're we kidding?

    I volunteer to do these, or some of the other labour-intensive stuff, too. There's a few months before I head for York so I can make myself useful :)

    This.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR

    has anyone else tried the EB homepage with FF3? The random unit pic is misplaced off to the left...

    We need a huge, ultra tight, in ur face flash intro, that pretty much lets everyone know who's the big dog on the mod scene, actually let's make everything flash, screw people that want html only, let's live in the now! Customizable homepage for each user with login, with fancy gadgets like google's homepage, so I can have like tons of RSS readers and find out the weather, news, stocks and movie times in one place. Not too mention a new search engine that automatically categorizes websites based on historical accuracy, not just EB's site, so I can browse the web through an EB team member's eyes. And webmail, definitely webmail, with cool EB skins and unit pictures for everyone on your contacts list and 5 gigs of free storage. We need sweet EB webcomics that are stupid and redundant like penny arcade. Then we need a cool social networking system that will rip myspace and facebook a new one, all without ads and crap, but implementing EB's trait system so you can keep track of your friend's traits and ancilliaries; I mean, come on, even EBer's need to keep track of all their bizzies in the hizzy. While we are at it, we can integrate a game ladder so we can have sweet EB competitions. Don't forget a sweet web app that lets you easily edit all the RTW configuration files from within the site, hell let's just make an EB client so you can play EB through the webserver where ever you are without installing it, that would be way dope. See, you won't even need to download EB when we are all done, just go to the hottest site on the net. Let's not forget a secret file sharing forum so we can pirate music and programs and warez and crap with an EB torrent tracker. I think EB could be a real competitor out their in cyberspace, but we just need to get with the times guys!

    a EB history is a little bit better in order...(like unit research, when and where units are/ were used, why a unit was dropped or changed in shape, etc). if you won't do it, then at least let someone else do it for the site.

    Would definitely be nice to get a list of building descriptions and effects - either related to or entirely seperate from the trees.

    Also, as other people have said more info on FAQs and fixes actually on the site, as some people arent too keen on forums still, as we saw in the other thread about ages that there are all types of people playing EB...
