i dont even know if Atilius was counting me, if not that would make it 5x active Rome faction members alone, and the only reason I was inactive for so long was because I was in Iraq doing..uh, field work.

the idea that EB has fallen on hard times is ludicrous. Our internal forums are far more active than these public fora, in fact, I can say that I am simply amazed by the amount of progress that has gone on in the past year while I was away. When I left for Iraq in November of 2007, EB II was still in the 'talk' phases, brainstorming, we didnt even have internal forums for it yet, and EB 1.x was still in the works.

When I came back this month, the amount of work on everything from factions, models, skins, to maps, to audio/visual effects, is stunning.
