Prelude to Version 2.3

[QuintusSertorius]

Greetings fans of Europa Barbarorum!

The long-awaited release of 2.3 is near at hand. We're doing final tests (all sorts of little things worm their way out when you compile a final version...) and should be done soon. We will not give a firm date as to when we'll be ready, because we don't know yet. Only that it's soon.

In the meantime, we'd like to share some things to get you ready. We'll add more to this post as we have it to share.


First up: The Player's Guide to Europa Barbarorum II

This is the brainchild of Mantaprey/Chap (they're the same person!), who you might remember put those hugely informative threads on government and colony buildings together a while back. He's taken those original ideas, revamped them with some new graphics and added sections on a host of other topics. It also includes installation instructions, which will spare us the need to do that on the fora. It will be included with 2.3, but you're getting to see it early here.

Secondly, we have a preview video (thanks to xHolyCrusader).

Third up: the changelog

Great, really helpful.

Btw is it worthwhile to start a new campaign with 2.2r?

[QuintusSertorius]

Great, really helpful.

Btw is it worthwhile to start a new campaign with 2.2r?

Play a faction you wouldn't normally is the best bet. One you won't mind abandoning early when 2.3 appears.

[Christianus]

Just went to the local printing store to get a nice print of that player`s guide 2.3;) Cost me about 90usd, but will make me happy <3

[Cadwalader]

Exciting news! I'm especially looking forward to hearing the new voice mods, I'm pumped for that Pre-Germanic. A great thank you to Mantaprey and the team!

[Cincinnatus Johnson]

Thank you Mantaprey for putting so much excellent work into the 2.3 player's guide. I really appreciate it! I was especially glad to see the Cursus Honoroum completely explained.

Thank you both for your contributions to the EB world.
