If you want to create hype and interest, you could try to get Total Biscuit to cover it.
He has covered some mods recently.

While I think more hype should be made about this mod there are a couple of problems with that. I don't think TBs fans really overlap to heavily with EB and I'm pretty sure I remember him saying he normally dislikes playing strategy games and only covered R2 because of the fuss that was being made about it

Although I like TBs videos, I have to agree that this probably isn't the best game for his channel. I think Quill18 would be a lot better choice since he likes strategy games in general, although I can't remember him doing any total war stuff before.

Where did you hear that?
He certainly likes to play strategy games, he even owns a Starcraft 2 team.
And about Rome 2 he didn't intend to cover it was because of his SEGA boycott, rather than him not liking strategy. While Medieval 2 was published by SEGA, since this is a mod an exception would be likely.

While the overlap may or may not be huge (considering it's a PC specific channel it should be somewhat sizable), the size of his channel will make even a relatively small one be quiet a large amount of people.
And add to that the recent disappointment of Rome 2 I think the interest will be higher.

Totalbiscuit has stated that he does not take requests. Lets hope the mod gets big enough!

I think it will, the original EB got some exposure in some gaming magazines in Europe back in the day, and I cannot think of any other mod that has been this long in development, it is special no doubt about it.

My silly suggestion:

To generate buzz, have one of the project beta testers, who also happens to have the video and voice skills, do a series of in-depth "tutorial" vids to put up on Youtube a week or so before going public.

If not TotalBiscuit, there are other large Youtubers that love Strategy and the Total War Series. I'm thinking AngryJoe, Quill18, Arumba, Lionheratx10, DiplexHeated, Unit Lost... Heck, just with AngryJoe there's 1,3 million subscribers. And I'm sure they could showcase the mod, even if it's only a 20 minute video.

AngryJoe reviewing would be pretty awesome, I would just be terrified about what he would say
