    I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.

    nice interview. thanks for sharing it. philosophy is a noble profession.

    anyways, about the hoplitai, do they charge in formation, or is it just me? in pic 2 and 4-can't tell if they are stationary or moving. formation cohesion was somewhat of a problem in vanilla M2TW. just out of curiosity.

    and darn they look good. and no more stretched ptureges-just..I dunno how to describe it. makes me want to play EB2 immediately. but i know I must wait, and that I shall do

    Martelus Flavius has been doing some really nice work (and being really patient through nit-picking) on the hoplitai, I'm glad you like what he's done so far.

    Holy crap those Hoplitai look amazing. Combined with the more realistic environments MTW:2 offers... this mod is gonna rock.

    I only asked a question-his hoplites look perfect. the problem is the formation logic in M2TW

    but yeah, his hoplites, as stated, look beautiful. makes me wish there were reps like in Twcenter or something

    Looking forward to it,. I've been cut off from EB1 ever since I lost my RTW disk.

    I'm currently working on a series of manuals for it all, which will explain how each part of EBII will work and which will eventually form part of full documentation for the final release.
    Oh... Piss. There goes my attempt at having some part of EBII.

    Reading through the interview again, I noticed that Foot said that there will be EBII-tutorials to "keep them[the fans] going in the long wait without EBII".

    Does this mean that there will be short tutorial campaigns released before the release of the mod itself?
    Because that would be great!

    Yes there will be tutorial campaigns released before EBII. These will be heavily scripted introductions to the new mechanics, and certainly won't have the scope of true mini-campaigns (like TIC).

    Who cares about scope mate, we've got the main release for that, sounds like a really nice way to preview the mod

    Great interview! Very interesting. The pictures of the hoplites made me think of a quote in The Dark Knight: "Well hellooooo beautiful!"
