An EB interactive campaign ...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Love EB?
Wanna play it with other people in an interactive campaign where you can help decide the fate of the Antique World?
Then take a look at this thread to help us set it up!

If you like to know more about these kind of games then just look into the Throne Rooms sub-forum called LotR - Last of the Romans

So perhaps there are some people here who are interested in this?

I will update this first post regularly so people would get the latest information about the game.

The mini-mod for this game is almost finished.. There will be some testing to do and perhaps then we are ready to go!

The name of the game is: Will of the Basileus (WotB)

EB uses the mod-switch function; so you can rename your current EB folder to something like EBv1. Once that's done, reinstall EB, then you'll be able to install our mod, and you'll be set to go!

The faction is Arche Seleukeia.

Players who are interested:
Ibn-Khaldun
Warmaster Horus
The Celtic Viking

So far we have 26 people interested. That's more than enough to start this game!

For more information PM me or Warmaster Horus.

You can also check our temporary forum and discuss over the rules and give us some ideas to make the game more interesting. You can find the forum here: WotB temporary forum

First off a lil bit of details for those of us who have no idea what a "interactive campaign simular to lotr" is.

Also, I say one of the smaller factions, Pontos, Casse, maybe Swebos.

Check out the Throne room, or the link in my sig.
Last of the Romans (LotR) is a sort of PBM (play by mail), where each player is assigned a character, and then can influence the game in various ways. The player fights each battle their character does; he can vote in the voting sessions, interact with other characters, etc. I'm not giving a great description here, but it's awesome. Before LotR were WotS (Will of the Senate, played with RTR, and first of this kind of game) and KotR (King of the Romans, played with slightly modded M2TW).
I guess I'd be interested.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Looks like I don't have to explain what LotR is .. WH managed to do that before me

I doubt that it is possible to play something like that with smaller factions because it is possible that they will be destroyed before the faction had time to expand..

I wouldn't want to pick Romani because.. well.. that's what everyone are doing
I would prefer actually Ptolemaioi or Arche.. With them it is possible to RP more than with the smaller factions. Of course this would mean that we already have a pretty big Empire in our hands.

So.. I would appreciate your ideas over this thing..

Btw.. link to LotR can be found in my sig too

[The Celtic Viking]

I'm in. I'd vote for AS, but as long as it's not Rome, I'm game.

[Warmaster Horus]

Well, KH would be logical since they were a sort of Democracy. But just about anything's fine with me. I agree that a small faction would be hard to play well, though.
A good faction would be the Arche Seleukeia, since they do have a big Empire, but that would be good with many players (we could mod characters in, and other stuff to make it harder for us.)

[lobf]

AS would be awesome... imagine fighting between the satrapies...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

(I have always wanted to use this smilie)

So it wouldn't be buried under other threads..

Anyway .. once the rules have been decided then perhaps we can start this thing..
So far the WotB mod made by WH looks working just fine...

[||Lz3||]

I would be interested in being part of the council...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Every player will be part of the 'Council'

It just that some of them will have more influence than others.. like Basileus and the faction heir(whoes greek name i always forget) and some others..

[Warmaster Horus]

Kleronomos Basileion, I believe it is.

The Council is what we'll call our Senate. It sounds better than Senate, considering the Arche is supposed to be a Kingdom, and not a Republic.

You forgot to put my name in, Ibn-Khaldun.
