    Be patient, the open beta is coming closer to your PC every minute there’s an EB member online!

    Yawn.....
    yes yes, closer, always closer. Goddamnit, we wan't the bastard now!
    If I had a dollar for all the times the open beta was moving "CLOSER", well. i'd hire myself a few extra modders to move it even closer even quicker.......
    hmmm....i'm lost..
    Peace out!

    Or you could start paying us, that would be nice . Or perhaps you have some skills of your own to offer? Modding skills would be good, but you could bake us sweets to keep our energy levels up, that too would be acceptable.

    Ah, the independent nations..looking good! If it is so that you've managed to make them both expansionistic and able to act (and react) properly to the player's actions, the quality that is EB has been raised even further - hooray!

    Gee, I guess I was hoping for a fun representation of Warfare in Antiquity instead of a Barbarian-Fest. I mean, the skins are nice, but there's little difference between all these Barbarian factions, tactics-wise, aside from your starting place
    I should not respond, but I must. None of our factions were barbarians. The so called barbarians were very advanced, in many ways more so then your precious civilized states, especially militarily.
    And we are about history. And so called barbarians were just as important as any Romans. We are not about holloywood, and lies about the savagery of non Latins and Greeks.
    And many of your so called barbarians had great power, and may well have gotten it if some things had been different. Gauls sacked Rome, and did very well against Greeks. Parthians had a very rich and powerful empire. Perhaps you should find out about so called barbarians before discrediting them, and a bit more about your "civilized" peoples many failures.

    No 'Temple in Jerusalem'? Have it give a great law & order bonus, and make Judea a very rebellious province. Make it destructable above all else.

    Keeping it keeps the people from revolting, but it hinders assimilation.

    as i understand it this is a barbarian mod made by a team

    babarian factions are the order of the day
    (trying to convince this team otherwise is TOTALLY pointless!)


    asking questions is welcome

    providing information is welcome

    offering opinions is welcome


    insults, no matter how mild, are not welcome
    that means everybody please, no insults aimed at the mod makers,
    and no insults at people asking questions/making comments


    if the mod team dont agree with you , well, you simply have to accept that

    i have edited a few posts, i have issued a warning, i have sent a couple of pms asking people to edit their posts.

    can we all play nice,

    the less we distract this team with arguments,
    the faster they can get this mod into our eager hands

    Cheers,
    B.

    Hello,

    I've read this forum for months and i figured it would be an appropiate moment to drop a line in order to :

    1) thank the team for the fine job i've seen so far.
    2) invite them to keep it up and well going
    3) state that i wait for this mod with eagerness
    4) fail (miserably) at making a smart comment.

    This said, i am truly impressed by the amount of trouble and work you've put in independant troops. This is the way to go and i'd surely like to be able to to this in my job.

    Cheers from a french history lover. (Well, i am french and i love history, i am not a lover of french history... well, i AM, but not only french history... oh well...)

    I personaly do not believe there were made any comments that warranted this type of editing. This community resolves its own problems, and every one thinks like adults, and for the most part, take jokes lightly.

    I'm not trying to offend the admin or something, just saying that this sub-forum enjoys a certain autonomy and has a particular spirit, about discussions which do not require for such an intervention. If things get out of hand, we simply close or erase the thread ourselves.

    Again, don't take this the wrong way....
