EB 3?

[Atraphoenix]

EB3 if there will be may be on empire but in empire there is no city battles (sieges sallies) that really kills the concept of EB, methinks but who knows if some manages to mod it but believe me it would be harder to mod empire than any other exes. the more variety the more torture for modders!

but dreaming is ok un till you face the reality...

Funny, too. ETW has no faction/region limit. It has potential.

Can a game based around gunpowder weaponry be adapted for melee combat?

empire has melee combat units, archers, even elephants! so land units are ready but to adapt navy is the problem for modding
the only problem city sieges

What a coincedence I was just proposing some factions for EB IV.

Which no doubt will be revealed under your Occultus sig.

I think that while they have melee combat, it is too far from the fighting of antiquity to be relevent, are there any units in the game with shields? I haven't played any eastern factions so I don't know. There are certain things that an antiquity game needs and unless this game has no modding restrictions I don't see how it could be done.

I think the E:TW engine is perfect for a Han Dynasty Mod. Crossbow warfare aglore!

[antisocialmunky]

PREPARE FOR EBIII: BARTIX INVASION!

E:TW isn't really suited for classical warfare. Many of the old mechanics like fighting to the death, reenforcements and other things have been completely stripped away(Move Fire, Phalanx, etc). Honestly, I think that Kingdoms is probably the msot feature complete TW game.

That being said, ETW might work well for a WWI-Modern Warfare mod or a Warhamme 40K mod(cover, destructable cover, and other stuff is already there.)

I know but will we sacrifice sieges?

yes from iberia to even japan you can mod empire, and to think to fight as romans with Han Empire in china is breath taking..

but there should be at least 100 modders to perform it it may take an alone modder more than 10 years!
or am I too realist? I hope even I pray I err...

You could add the Americas too. Olmecs and the other guys.

Rome could become the capital of... Earth

Though it will never happen

[Zradha Pahlavan]

It could be an infinitely complex game...there could be all sorts of factions, too many to count...it could be chaos...
Still kind of pointless if you can't siege things.

[Maeran]

But you can besiege cities and assault forts. So maybe there is a way.

I heard EBV is being developed as a Star Trek Holoprogram.
