A request from Brennus

[HFox]

Do you feel that increased historical accuracy detracts from or increases the excitement/enjoyment of such games?
Strongly Detracts (1). Detracts (2). Has no real effect (3). Increases (4). Strongly Increases (5).

5. The game becomes more immersive and you become more aware of changes and the reasons for those changes, be it in armour design or cultural. Also you don't have to deal with flaming pig units

As a result of playing Europa Barbarorum have you developed a greater interest in history, archaeology or the past in general?

No, but it has supported my interest and add more layers of detail and understanding. The quality, tone and level of detail in the writing is very, very good and should be in a book.....or at least a pdf us old codgers can print off and read in the comfort of our favourite armchair, wearing our best dressing gown and slippers, while smoking a pipe and sipping a nice claret.

Would you prefer to see more historical accuracy in other games, or other forms of visual media such as films or television programmes?
Yes (1). No (2). Indifferent (3).

3. Do not feel this can be controlled but feel the mark of quality in EB1+2 and other non commercial mods have put professional game makers to shame

Has playing Europa Barbarorum improved or altered your understanding of the period 272BC – AD14.

Yes. The detail in the information contents wrapped around the game has not only changed my understanding but added layers of detail around the thought processes of the civilisations and how their collective mind worked to a degree.

As a game, what is the greatest strength of Europa Barbarorum and what is perhaps its greatest weakness?

The team behind the mod answers both

Does the fact that Europa Barbarorum is open to volunteers and fan contributions make its work more appealing or not.
It makes it very unappealing (1). It is not appealing (2). No real effect (3). It makes it appealing (4). It makes it strongly appealing (5).

5. A community project always appeals as you can be sure that the aim will not be slewed by Mammon
