    Default Eb- teaching resource

    Hi,

    Is it true that a member of the eb team, who happened to be a teacher, gave his students eb and asked them to play and write a diary? I've heard rumours.
    If so, what happened, and did they record any results?

    My guess is that they have A) Played it and found that their PC sucked and would not play the game well and went back to playing Xbox or PS3. B) Didn't have the patience to refight a battle a couple times and restart the game every hour because of CTDs and therefore stopped playing. C) Got into it enough to play a campaign long enough to make the parent's worry. or D) Played the game so much that they meet the victory conditions of every faction, go to the end of a Romani campaign, and become a talented modder of EB and/or AAR writer that it did worry their parents so much they asked the teacher why they gave their son/daughter the game and why they must put up with them acting like barbarians and wearing lioncloths and wielding huge wooden swords and plastic shields.
    Swords don't kill people, people with swords kill people.

    An odd rumour. Where did you hear it? If so it would have been on a certain focus rather than just free-play, but I can't really imagine it would work since that would require that each student has a copy of Rome installed along with the mod (which is illegal to distribute so those students would have to purchase the game first). Would have been more effective to have simply used the information from the mod in the class than to bother getting them to play it.

    On the otherhand, if the students had mentioned that they owned and played Rome: TW (and possibly believed the terribly inaccurate portrayal of history) then I can believe that this unnamed teacher would have suggested that they try out the mod in their free time.

    Oh, I didn't know it was on the forum. Thanks. I found it in the internet ether.

    And I know that he posted the results. But those aren't on the forum, apparently they were only on the internal forum.

    I stand corrected. He actually bought actual copies of the game. Well, good on him I guess. Hope the results were good.
