Hello follow EB’ers. Long time no see.

I am longtime EB player/forumer who ceased both activities months ago after buying a new computer capable of handling M2TW. At first I was amazed at all the eye candy, but I quickly got bored as I realized that the game had no real depth. I tried at least a dozen mods, but remained intensely frustrated by the lack of realism and accuracy in all of them. Some were better than others, but as a whole they left me feeling empty on the inside.

Then one day as I was modding an M2TW mod, slaving away trying to make it balanced and at least mildly realistic, I fell upon some old files titled “EB.” For the next half hour I nostalgically reminisced over the good ol’ days, the countless hours of fun EB had provided. Well, its a day later and I’m a half-decade into a KH campaign, fighting for my very survival against Antigonos and Pyrrhus.

I can’t believe it, but I enjoy EB far more than M2TW or any M2 mods on the market. I only regret that it took me months of exile in order to learn that you can’t do any better than EB, even with RTW’s primitive engine. With the sheer amount of blood, toil, tears, and sweat poured into every individual faction (if I may quote Sir Winston Churchill), I doubt that it is possible to ever grow tired of it.

I never realized till now how much I appreciate EB and the people who created it. There truly is no other mod like it. I think we too often take it for granted that we can enjoy other people’s hard work for free, so I just wanted to say “thanks” to the EB team and everyone involved/affiliated with it.

p.s. Why don’t the legionaries wear the lorica segmentata cuirass?
