    Default New player - a few questions

    Hi! I'm a new player for EB Online, I don't have too much experience with the mod itself but I think that I manage some basics of tactics (At least!), anyway, I think I got my hands on this forum like five or four years too late (or maybe not! :D).

    First, I would like to say that I'm really eager to play some friendly battles in the game, I don't get really anger when I lost so you guys can abuse of my incompetence if you want an ego boost :)

    Second, I was reading some topics to get familiarizated with all the things but I can't get the meaning of 'HA', what it is? Huge Army? High Armoured?

    Third, I would like to know what factions are actually balanced in the current EDU, as I saw some units with akward stats compared to another ones (not big deal, as they were merc or something I think).

    Well, that is, thanks beforehand.

    Greetings.

    Hello Nacrox, welcome to EB Online!

    To answer your questions, HA stands for Horse Archer and all factions are currently playable except for the Saka Rauka. EB's stat system (well, Gamegeek's :p) as I gather is rather different from most other mods (including vanilla), so perhaps that's what throws you off?

    The latest version of the stat system is not finished quite yet.

    BTW Viking could you upload the latest build of the system for me as well as your current export_units file? I want to restart working on a finalized 3.0 from a fresh copy.

    Do you mean with or without Shak's fixes?

    I meant, I'm not really veteran on RTW, but I have played anothers tactics games like Close Combat, Combat Mission, and stuff (however, those games are more like spearhead/firepower tactics than counter-maneuver tactics from RTW :P)

    That one doesn't include all the files though, like mine does.
