EBNOM official discussion thread

[Lionheart]

I'm glad that you liked. I always feel the same. Since the vanilla version i always liked Numidia.

[Lionheart]

Here goes some screenshots from the units. Hope that you liked it.

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Looks amazing, great job.

[Lionheart]

The credit goes to LDC he made that. I simply do the research.

However in our name i will like to tank your kind words. I believe that when this is finished you will liked it even more.

[Gaius Sempronius Gracchus]

The more I see of this mod, the more I look forward to it. Keep it up guys, great work so far..

[plutoboyz]

this one looks great. I always wanted to play numidia.

btw, aren't Numidian(Berber) are light skinned?

[Lionheart]

That depends. Numidia at this time was a very interesting place to be.

We have Numidians, Maurae, Gaetuli, Garamantes you even have mercenaries from Hispania, Gaul, roman desertors, punic descendents, roman merchants (mainly of north of italy and some from the italian allies).

All this kind of man served in the Numidian armies. So we have try to make that come true in some way with this faction.

Thanks for your kind words. I believe that when this is ready you will like to play as Numidia.

[Reno Melitensis]

One question about Numidia. Its true or it is an invention that north africans during this time used chariots. As always its a great preview. Cheers.

[Ludens]

The African preview for EB2 shows a Libyan chariot unit, so yes. Unless you mean the era of this submod; then I don't know. I am not sure how heavily the Libyans participated in the battles against (or with) the Romans. If they did not, there is probably no way of knowing.

The Numidians had developed proper heavy cavalry at this point, so they did not use chariots.

[Lionheart]

From the research i made i was not able to find references to the use of chariots in the Numidian army.

However i do find like Ludens says that at this time they begun developing heavy cavalry and infantry units very inspired in the roman way of warfare.
Besides the most powerful unit they possess are the war elephants (in that way they are very similar to the Carthaginians both in the use of elephants and mercenary units. We have tried to make that a reality in the mod)

[Nyz]

Great works guys! And things are very peaceful here.

[anubis88]

And amen to that :).

We solved that issue thank god. Now we can soon start working on another preview... Actually 2 more important factions are all but ready... But we don't want to spoil you by making previews too quick in succesion

[Cute Wolf]

Great works guys! And things are very peaceful here.

Yeah, the ORG is like nice countryside, and everyone is familiar and generally nice with each other, even with newbie or "strangers". While TWC are more about busy Downtown, that it doesn't too surprising when something nasty happened

[Nyz]

Well, keep up guys!!! We at the .org will continue to support you...

[CaesarAugustus]

That was a very good preview, well done!

[anubis88]

That was a very good preview, well done!

On behalf of our team, thank you . Lionheart and LDC really did a great job on the Numidians. But don't be fooled tough... Numidia will definetly be one of the toughest if not the toughest faction in EBNOM. Resisting Rome at this time was very hard, especially by a kingdom devastaded by the Jugurthine war. Of course hope remains, if you manage to kick the Romans out of Africa and establish a strong state with good income. Then everything will be possible.

But as i said, it will be a very difficult campaing.

The next preview will be about a less difficult faction. A great faction. A faction that will fight Rome sooner or later... Wiht cavalry... And infantry... And....

Anyone willing to guess?

[Gaius Sempronius Gracchus]

The Parthian Empire? The other great powerhouse of this era, along with SPQR...

True. The player that will try Numidia will found a very hard campaign. Not only because you need to kick the romans out of africa. But mainly because you need to develop your kingdom and gain the heart of your pleople.
Also the Kingdom of Mauretania will be a hard chellenge even if they are eleutheroi but be ready to have a hard time conquering Africa.
But after you do that like Anubis says almost all will become possible. Even put a Numidian governor in rome. :)

Also thanks for you kind words and i express my thank's in my name and LDC.

The next preview will be .... (not telling you have to wait a little longer)

[Nyz]

The next preview will be the tough one for your guys because of recent incident for us to guess what is it because very little clues given...

I guess Ptolemaoi though, as gamegeek2 showed us the cavalry unit (with Serapis-design shield) for that faction earlier...

[anubis88]

The incident was only about 1 unit. So no further "incidents" are expected. And it's not the Ptolemaioi! For once intifadanyz is wrong! Hooray

[Nyz]

hohoho.... you are happy when I had wrong answer.....well, I cannot read your mind though.... never mind, sometimes we guess it right, sometimes not... next guess... Pontos?

[anubis88]

I refuse to answer this

[Nyz]

~Sigh~

I get 2 clowns in a row....

[anubis88]

It's just not fun when you guess everything so soon



But your right... Pontos is next

[Nyz]

Nah, Anubis, don't take it seriously... So far it is just Mr. Gracchus and me participated in your guys guessing game.... and sometimes Mr. Butcher...

If the prize of guessing the right answer is a PREVIEW, then take your time to publish it... we will patiently wait for it.

Well, you know... when somebody take part in the guessing game, or take time to post comments in the thread, then it's just mean that they are interested in your project and closely following your guys...

[anubis88]

I know that :)

It would be more fun tough if there were 19 wrong answers and 1 correct :D

I'll start working on the preview today or tommorow.

[gamegeek2]

Wow that movie is AWESOME! I especially love tha part when the Numidian Bodyguards and GLDMTK are in a fight with the Devotio spearmen of the Sertoriani, and then the Sertoriani Devotio cavalry destroys everything in it's path!

[Nyz]

The Malays always make a joke that if you cannot see, or you see things differently from others, it mean that your life is shorter and the end is near...

Well, I just don't want to admit it, but never mind.... It's a great preview...
