EBNOM official discussion thread

Quintus about the Iron Maiden stuff i was given an exemple.
I like the music in EB. However i still defend that we could do something diferent.
My point was that music is also part of history. Like poetry, histories, philosophy and so on. All this is history. A cultural history but history in the end.

And if EB tried and achieved follow history in some way we to shall do that.
I'm not against modern songs: perhaps for celtic factions you could add some modern celtic songs with traditional instruments or something like that. In that case the modern and the ancient complete themselves.

[Moros]

The discussion is a little irrelephant and keeps us from telling what a great effort the team has done with it's latest preview.

OT: I'm surprised on how modern the ancient music sounded. But anyway great effort guys and a nice vid, Finn.

There are already crunch-points and difficulties in the team. Why add further pressure by seeking new music when there's already perfectly service-able stuff in EB right now?

I don't see the need for actual modern songs at all, and I've never been arguing for them.

This discussion is turning hostile. Please drop it and go back to discussing the rest of the mod.

It's entirely up to the modding team to decide what kind of music they include. If you do not like their choice it takes only a minute or so to restore the EB soundtrack, so I don't see much point to continuing the argument.

actually, that was an interesting discussions... I don't see the point of hostilities

[Lionheart]

I agree in that one Ludens. Let's drop the discution.

If the team in NOM will add some new soundtrack with would be the players of the mod that will choose what they like.
As said before you can always restore the EB soundtracks so that's no point in pursuing this discution.

About the mod perhaps some new surprises will come shortly. The surprises are for a faction already previewed but i think you would like that guys. When something is ready i will put that in here.

[Rahl]

Is it already clear that you use BI? I didn't follow the thread all the time so I'm not sure if you already decided that.
The new units look great and the later period makes it really interesting so maybe I will get BI when the mod is out...

One request, though I think you will reject it, would you be so nice and upload the model and skins for the machairaphoroi unit? I really want such a unit for EB to include it for hellenic powers in the later part of the campaign but there's no model in EB I really can use for them. I may be able to edit skins on a very low level but moddeling is something I don't have the time to learn...

Hey Rahl...

EB NOM will use BI, that's for certain. We have some ideas on how to use the new engine, and we will implement them in-game, so you'll have to buy it to play EB NOM. But i don't think it's very expensive; it's less then 5 euros in my country...

Unfortunatly i can't upload the model and skins :(. First of all, they are all wip, and second, it's a slippery slope to allow people to use your stuff before the mod is realeased. Unfortunatly you'll just have to wait till it's released. But it will be worth it, don't worry :)
