How anxious are you to get EB?

[Zero1]

Aye, the mod looks good but until the hornblowers release it, we'll basically never know. I am looking forward to playing it but have got the shits with"Countdown To open beta". It's got to be the longest goddamn countdown in Modding history!
I pity the poor bastards if EB aint all it's cracked up to be.

Oh, ye of little faith

[jerby]

Personaly I'm not going to get too excited just because the mod members keep going on about how great it will be.

so much for Ano's optimism.
Personnally, i think EB isnt bragging. just because other mods dont release so much info this looks like bragging, since they can explain a lot.
RTR's community is bragging a lot more than EB.
and be honest, looking at screenies, reading historical sources and reading what EB is doing with the Strat-map. RTR doesnt come close.

[Dutch_guy]

EB is going to be great, I just know it will.

I will not put RTR away when EB comes around though , both mods are just great

[Zero1]

I played RTR when it first came out but the behavior of their developers truly disgusted me to the core and I uninstalled it. To go around saying "F' EB, they suck and stuff because we say so, lets threaten them on our chatrooms for no apparent reason and badmouth them without provocation" is just so assanine and petty that I feel it completely discredits their work.

Maybe its just me, but I refuse to play something developed by a bunch of four year olds.

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

Zero, I've seen this and i must say,RTR, don't try to get me to play your mod. EB is for me!

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

And wait, Eadingas, you're a EB member aren't you? And you voted Eb is rubbish!

[The_Mark]

... And there he goes berserk.

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

The Mark, spot on!

[Greek_fire19]

mmm, I too was disappointed in the attitude of senior RTR staff.

I was more surprised by the attitude of TWC members though- that just because they're acting like a bunch of nerdy insecure 15 year olds, noone should know because it'll cause 'rifts' in the TW community.

Personally I'd like to know the kind of people who are making a mod because for me it's not irrelevant.

I'm trying not to bash them too much. I'll definately download their mod, or at least I definately will if they release theirs before EB, but I just like this community so much more than the other ones. There's a friendliness here, as well as some serious intellectual rigour and a non-competitive attitude that just makes it all feel a bit more grown-up than the other TW places.

Actually, it's all a big prank. EB will be nothing but a horrible virus that will erase your hard drive and swear at you when you have your sound on.

The names are conplete non-sense, they have monkeys chained to keyboards who are forced to make up crazy names.

the only faction that really was researched is bartix.

The swears will be in ancient Aramean, so not much to worry about...

No animals are harmed in the making of this mod. In fact, they're bonobo chimps. We let them do their things on the keyboard.

[ArbitraryReality]

Well, though other, more fantastic (as in fantasy, not excellence) mods have the majority of my angst (being the unapplied form of anxious), (for instance, The Fourth Age: Total War) EB will fulfill my innate penchant for realism and accuracy.

EDIT: Caution: This message is unintentionally convoluted.

[Mongoose]

the only faction that really was researched is bartix.

Bartix is real, yes.

Err...dux...what are those monkeys doing?

The swearing will be in many languages but will also be translated in english and many other modern languages so you will know what it's saying.( )

[jerby]

as long as they give subtitles its ok by me

[Mongoose]

EB is elitist because they have the swear words in languages other then english!

[eadingas]

You bet your mamushka's zhopa we do ;)

[Moros]

yes Jerby what is EB? I'd really like to know... :p
btw remember who said it about the lame belgium-dutch jokes, it wasn't me was it ?

[jerby]

well, as far as i know. EB is a Mod, and the jokes are still lame

[Sargon the Great]

I don't know about anyone else but im confused to what the difference between EB and RTR. I've been looking through both sets of previews and such and they both sound interesting. However i have heard on other forums that EB is a more 'stabalized' development whereas RTR is more loikely to have more bugs. I suppose the best thing to do is play the two to come to a conclusion.

One thing for sure is that im very impressed and delighted that the mods have been effective in replacing the vanilla version.

[Dux Corvanus]

Err...dux...what are those monkeys doing?

If you don't know, you need to have that conversation with dad and mom about bees, and flowers, and babies...

[Mongoose]

LOL, i am not that young.


Any way, what do you use for the faction names? secret alien messages?

[jerby]

they burn down woods and look for patterns. wichthey translate to letters. there arent much trees around khelvan's house (anymore)

[Mongoose]

I always thought it had something to do with crop circles.

[Idomeneas]

I cant see any vote category fitting for me. I really wanna play EB but im not gonna get anxious for it. I have to be anxious about so many things in real life that i refuse to be anxious for a computer game.

About RTR vs EB and all sorts of modding conflicts, to all those who spend even minutes of their lives intriguing, manipulating and playing nerdy games of authority and power, i have only this to say

GET A LIFE!!!!!

and propably a girlfriend....

[Idomeneas]

You bet your mamushka's zhopa we do ;)

his mothers ass corect?
interesting i didnt know its the same in polish as in russian

[eadingas]

It's not, it's Russian. Well, Russian-ish, with heavy anglicization ;)

[Dux Corvanus]

GET A LIFE!!!!!

and propably a girlfriend....

Or a bonobo chimp pet...

[Moros]

Or a bonobo chimp pet...

Ever tought off a Llama?
