EB 1.3?

[Aemilius Paulus]

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.
