Hey Aulus, how many grams of salt and how many liters of water should be used in the first step?

Hey Aulus, how many grams of salt and how many liters of water should be used in the first step?

depends on your preferences...
I put two tablespoons of salt in about 2 and a half liters of water = 2 servings
But each must make attempts to obtain as are its tastes. even cooking can be more or less long depending on whether you prefer the dough soft and slightly tough.
I always feel out of the pasta during cooking to monitor if fits.
ah and a nice meal

Women love me anyway, at least enough do that I can tell myself that all do ;-)

Anyway, on this topic...

If the EB team cared about support from a mass of fans, they would probably have made something like the original RTW, but with even more fantasy units and easier gameplay. However, as you will have noticed, they did not. They set out with little prospect of success and acclaim to make RTW more historically accurate, without much consideration about reception, but because they thought it was the right thing to do and wanted a more historical game.

They succeeded and as it happened enough people appreciated the result of their labour that EB is probably the most popular mod there is, as I understand it. That is in fact what makes a game or mod succesful that it is a labour of love and belief. So we have an almost H.C. Andersen-like fairytale about the poor modders setting out against hope and winning the Modding Crown...

I suspect EBII is just about the same and that the EB Team continues to care little for general acclaim and appeal as long as they are themselves satisfied and possibly influenced by the opinion of a few history nerds, but definately totally impervious to the opinion of the general public. EBII takes the time it takes.


However, the complaints that EBII is taking too long is of course because we love EB and are so anticipant, tense with expectation, so am I, but I will wait for the complete product and not declare it dead.

Hell, I have waited 13 years for Computer World in Flames, and I will still buy that...

PS. If the EB-Team needs the help of a moderately competent historian with some little knowledge of Rome and Denmark/Germania, poke me.
