New to EB: Kudos to the EB team...

Oh, you think you are astonished yet? Just play some campaigns, it will take a VERY VERY long time until you stop discovering new stuff, new history details on sites, persons etc.

I play EB only since the late days of 0.8, but still, there is just such an incredible amount of stuff packed into this...and the only reason there isn't more is because the RTW engine simply can't handle more and would suffocate if any more would be in there...

**Tiberius Aurelius Cotta** · 08-05-2008, 10:21

yeah... they really took RTW and made it into all it could be... Historically, physically...

for crying out loud, it's the first trime i've ever actualkly 'felt there' in an RTS / Turn-based RTS... very great work, this.

and when you change sides after your current campaign, the game will change with you...

Yeah, I can't wait to give Hayasdan, Saba, Saka Rauka a crack. I've explored most of the world with spies, the map is very rich.

Wow everybody here so far that posted has the same avatar.

Except me of course.

Also EB: The Borg, to be honest.

Indeed. And me, too.

On a sidenote, you guys should all join the EB interactive campaign. It should most successfully bring a whole new experience for classic EB players. Check it out (sign up, Rilder!).

Anyways, keep in mind that if you don't sign up volountarily, you will be drafted.

Glad you're enjoying EB, theGlobalizer. May it bring you utter joy and possible salvation for years to come!

Nah, I'm one of those silly people who still likes to slowly uncover the goodies and figure stuff out as I go.

I haven't looked at the reform prerequisites, either. It's giving me fits, not being able to train real armies in half of my cities, but it's fun that way. Well, except for those 10 minutes spent being routed by a full stack of rebels with a 10-star general. :-P

**Tiberius Aurelius Cotta** · 08-08-2008, 16:10

the rebels are a pain early on...

give it time, then when you are strong, you can deal with them... I usually start by building my econ...

**TheGlobalizer** · 08-12-2008, 16:25

Yeah, it's getting easier now. I still take some big hits, and the inability to retrain effectively is a complication.

It all makes the game more challenging, and thereby, more fun.
