I have to admit though that my favourite previews are the game mechanic topics. While faction previews are fun and good I found the early Stelae, the province preview, people of north africa and the government and colonisation explanations from the Romani previews to be the most entertaining.

The rest of the previews are very in depth and as a hobby historian only I find that I have a limited interest in massive walls of text that don't apply directly to my field of interest. So I like the balance that has been out there with some catering to both sides although I would definately welcome shorter, more gameplay focused previews interspersed with the faction previews.


Other than that, I guess raithspartan had a valid question for a low post count, EB forum newb. He didn't directly ask the age old question or act all self-righteous and I have to agree that the back of the car comment was a little unfair. We should be welcoming new people to the EB community rather than acting so insular.
