EB 3?

[Maximus The Bruce]

Hello there!


I been playing Europa Barbarorum a lot lately. Will there ever be a EB 3 released, if there hasn't already?

[bobbin]

Hold your horses! they haven't even got EBII out yet so any talk about EBIII is a bit futile.

Check out the EBII forums for more info on what the team are up to https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=235

Yeah...really, don't go there. Foot might eat you.

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...

[Megas Methuselah]

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

[a completely inoffensive name]

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

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...

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

[Moros]

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

[Iskander 3.1]

Which no doubt will be revealed under your Occultus sig.

[satalexton]

it may be a bit early, but i propose Bartix to be in EB3 =P

Bartix IS EBIII!

[Silence Hunter]

IMHO Bartix should start as a horde, ravage the known world, settle somewhere in Sibir only to be awakened by a player faction for a late game challenge.

That is no late game challenge. That is the slaughter of the human player.

No one can withstand the might of Bartix!

I am not getting the in-joke, am I.

[Aemilius Paulus]

I am not getting the in-joke, am I.

Then you shall always be an outsider. The Bartix thread is the greatest in-thing in the .Org forums. Even the blokes in the Frontroom all know it, although it started out here.

[miotas]

I AM BARTIX!

[Jolt]

Someone should post on youtube a video "THIS! IS! BARTIX!" *kicks*

[Aemilius Paulus]

Yes Jolt, but meanwhile guys, please refrain from spamming... No need to get this thread locked.

We may as well use it to discuss post EB II projects. So, am I the only one who thinks EB III on Empire engine is not worth doing. I mean, I am the guy who is not looking forward to EB II, as Asia ton Barbaron or an IBDF equivalent would bring the much-needed freshness to EB. Making almost identical remakes is simply not as much fun. Sure, new features and factions are introduced, but many features disappear as each TW is farther from the Antiquity. M2TW has too many bugs.

I may be old-fashioned, but another RTW mod by the EB team would be splendid.

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.

[satalexton]

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.)

[SwissBarbar]

I say wait for EB II, enjoy it and when Rome II Total War is out (with ships ;-) ), we start to think about EB III

CA made a second release for MTW why not for rome?

[SwissBarbar]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying

[miotas]

Just looking at the op again, maybe they thought EB 1.2 was EB 2 ?

[Calypze]

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..

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.
