A different time?

**white_star** · 12-19-2008, 23:25

First I just have to say I love EB1 and have great expectation on EB2. And I kinda wish you where working for CA. Great job to y all!

But now I wanna head out a question to all fan and members. I am no expert on ancient history. But after seeing and playing EB1 and 2. Which time period would you like to play? For example for E:TW? Just read an Article and thought it would be kinda cool to take controll over Herodes empire. Or maybe spark (and win) the rebellion in Britain with Boudicca at my side.

Wich ancient period end empire would you like to see the EB team to recreate?

I wonder what kind of reaction this will get out of everyone.

The EB Team is not CA, they are highly specialized, which is part of why EB is so splendid. Most of the EB historians (and all of the historians in general for that matter) have exceedingly in-depth knowledge about one specific time period and location, knowing much less about other periods/places. In order to move on to a "different time", much of the EB Team will have to quit and new recruits will have to be found. Its tough. Of course, my wishes are the same as yours, I want a different EB as well - I love Asia ton Barbaron and I wish it was the successor of EB I, but alas, not everything happens according to our wishes...

Bronze Age EB would also be nice, but only after AtB.

Yeah, I doubt EB will ever go for a different timeframe.

Bronze Age EB would also be nice

Even if it isn't EB, a bronze age TW is just sweet...

It can't go to a different time frame. Everyone on EB is there because they are knowledgeable about the ancient period of the 3rd through 1st century B.C. Changing the time frame renders them useless, and since they are essentially EB, it would an entire new group as EB in name only.

dude, I think the OP was saying that "if you could have a mod as good as EB in a different time frame what would it be" not "the eb tem should switch timeframes"
but anyways, I would RRREEEEAAALLY want to see Egypt in its prime like in RoP.

or an ancient American mod with all of the Aztec, maya, chinnok, etc

Win. Although any period in China would be ace as well.

Yep, with Hittites, Egyptians, Assyrians, Medians, Minoans, Mycenaeans, Mitanni, Elamites, and maybe even some barbarians from Northern Greece or the Philistines and Jews who migrated to the Modern-day Palestine following the catastrophic Theran eruption? The same eruption that destroyed the world's most advanced civilization until the Medieval times - the Therans as well as Minoans for that matter too.

I would like to see a timeframe from 14 A.D. to 180 A.D. Although I doubt it would ever happen. Bronze age seems cool and so does late antiquity too. maybe early Byzantine period?

Personally, I want to play the 19-20th centuries...WW1..and WW2.

I wanna play as Hitler and destroy Washington.

hope I didnt make any spelling mistakes..
