Europa Barbarorum Status

[Epistolary Richard]

but don't be holding off until december 24th just because it's cute

We can't help it...

[Spendios]

I believe 0.7 will be ready in just a few days. Unless testing finds things horribly wrong, after that it will just be a couple of weeks, I think. Sooner if things are perfect. But, keep in mind that internally such guesses are generally off, so I guess EB might be a nice Christmas present. We'll see.

If this happens this is great news !
I can't wait

[GoreBag]

You don't get your Christmas presents at the beginning of December, do you?

Yep. I don't open them until Christ-Mass, but I do GET them rather early. And since I don't plan on ripping the beta to pieces anyway...

[vizigothe]

well by the time this comes out my computer will be more than capable to play RTW the way i want to again, max everything

but i kinda want it now!

[Samurai Fanatic]

im hoping its tomorrow, if it is.....

The Trivium Organization is proud to present: Europa Barbarorum, a complete conversion for Rome: Total War.

The TTO is no more - It has been been transformed in the NTO (New Trivium Organization) ... so I assume that the EB no longer requires to use the TTO trademark. Still EB is entitled at the TTO legacy - so its up to the EB managers to decide what they will do with the TTO trademark inside or outside EB.

i bet he means christmas in 06 ...........

[the_handsome_viking]

awwwwwwww imagine them working on christmas day, ahaha

[Spendios]

So, what is the progress of the closed beta ? Are things doing well or have new problems appeared ?

[Crownsteler]

What khelvan meant to say was that he hopes a final _internal_ build will be available in a few days. Then there'll be a period of final bug-hunting to find the most obvious issues (the last internal build, for example, had a CTD bug after a few years which has now been fixed). And then we're looking at the Open Beta. Note that khelvan said it 'might be a Christmas present'... you don't get your Christmas presents at the beginning of December, do you?

Well, actually yes I do! December 5th is our national-santa-claus-present-giving-day-you-americans-later-stole-and-moved-to-christmas, honestly! So can I have it earlier? ;)

[Greek_fire19]

Yeah, hows the final internal build shaping up?

[Steppe Merc]

Well, we have encountered some problems with something that I don't understand, but am trying to.

That clear it up?

[jerby]

that was quite disturbing, DA..OR SHOULD I SAY "KHELVAN"!!!

you're absolutly right!

even though i found Khelvan bashing himself for beiing drunk quite a gooddiversion

[Dayve]

Is it finished yet!?

[Krusader]

Is it finished yet!?

Probably take another year before EB is finished.
The open beta though...

[Samurai Fanatic]

in about a year the next totalwar game will probably b released if they are making one.

[Moros]

who needs a new TWR when there'll be EB

[Ergion]

who needs a new TWR when there'll be EB

We will play the new TW game while we awaiting for the OB

[Spendios]

EB will lead to the the ruin of CA

[Zenith Darksea]

It still astonishes me at how amateur skinners can absolutely put a professional team to shame. Still, no doubt CA will be spending too much time with their eyes shut and their fingers in their ears to think about that.

[Byzantine Mercenary]

EB will probably help CA more than harm it by incorageing more people to get the game to run EB on it

[Mouzafphaerre]

.
No CA bashing please!

Like all of your loyal fans,
I look foward to a (possible) holiday release of the long-awaited EB Beta. The work shown to date looks wonderful!

Good luck, and I wish you a speedy resolution of any last-minute obstacles!

[Ypoknons]

Ah, how wonderful it is that the 1.5/1.6 patch is out. Even more wonderful is that EB will released after my finals, so that I may concentrate on my studies!

Yeah, I finish my exams on Friday so I thanks the EB team for not having released the Open Beta this week...
Btw I have two weeks holidays at the end of the week so if you could release it during the week-end it will be very nice

[Dayve]

ob please

[Ypoknons]

I'll finish Monday actually and flying home next Sunday. How brilliant it would be for the EB team to release the OB so that a poor homesick kid can lose himself in the beauty of EB whilist on a sixteen hour flight!

It's a funny world where studying one side of the globe and living on the opposite side, flying 16 hours to go home, seems perfectly normal!

[Malrubius]

We've added enough new things, including some pretty neat things that were envisioned by kayapó, that I feel confident in pronouncing the Traits and Ancillaries 45% complete!

There's still much to be done, but we're almost halfway there.

I'm also pretty sure there aren't any crippling CTD bugs hiding within the traits and ancillaries files.

This is SCARY!!!
It took you 1 year to make 45% will it take another one to complete?
And with the whole:
"Its a final product, we have families to feed and boss shouting on us but we call it Open "Beta" for fun."
Should I expect the Open "Beta" to be out Christmas 2006...

My motto has always been - always expect the worst, and you'll never be disappointed...

Buy a decent joystick and have some fun with BF2 whilst you're waiting... It's working for me.
