EB 1.3?

[Aemilius Paulus]

Meh, I say, trash Saba and add Goidils! And a landbridge in Dover to make sure either the Casse or the Goidils have a room to expand.

Or, EB 1.3 could be based on ALEX, giving the team extra spaces to add their own EB units (as opposed to pilfering form other mods).

But that is not realistic. I just wish the EB team would quit remaking the original EB to death and move on to IBFD or Asia ton Barbaron setting. Or even Rise of Persia and Paeninsula Italica united in one map. Much more fun than redoing EB ad perpetuum. The only problem would be the historians, as some may have their specialisations. But in any case, the EB Team did a lot of research as well, which they could do again I suppose.

to change the period of EB means another at least 2 years to adapt it.
Be logical, mate, even they forward their base beginning time 40- 50 years later,
they have to create nearly a completely new mod.

Precisely. What is the point of remakes? Who in the bloody heck is going to play EB 3 after playing EB I and EB II for five or even more years?? May as well start a new mod than kill the EB with endless remakes. Not to mention, it is not like EB II takes a year to complete.

It's not a remake. We have the same start date and the same principles. Historical, depth and gameplay. But you can have a lot of different end results starting by this.
For starters there will be 30 factions, which makes for much changes on the map. They are all worked out again form scratch. The game will also be different on gameplay level and core mechanics. Also the whole unit list has been made for zero. And while there units that represent the same people/soldiers as in EB I. They might look quite different in certain cases. Some where removed, for the benefit of others and more were added,...

It will be a different game. Mere the region and timespan will be the same.
