Countdown to Open Beta - Eleutheroi

[The Wizard]

Are my eyes deceiving me or is there a black chicken in the screenshot of the altars of Alexandros?

Fowl warriors defend it!

Fowl warriors defend it!



~Wiz

Is there an echo in here?

[ArbitraryReality]

Excellent work, gentlemen. Not what I was expecting, but you never disappoint.

Now show me Britannia.

[mode=aboix]

YOUR ALL F**KING WASTER WHAT ARE TH FOWL WARIX N THE PREVEW?????1?!?!?! (REPEAT 5 TIMES)

[Dutch_guy]

interresting preview EB team , the ''faction'' caught me off guard though

[Greek_fire19]

Yeah, I read the greek sounding name and thought aaah. Another successor state. But yes, excellent work, of course.

[Steppe Merc]

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.

This is the great thing about this mod: we've got people who really know a lot about *all* these different factions and cultures. It's not like it's a trade-off. We will have them all well represented. In fact, I personally hope everyone uses the new renderings of the factions to totally destroy the factions they hate in particular. Hate barbs? Drive them into the ground with your phalangites and heavy cav. Detest greeks? Make them run and weep before your legions. Abhor the Romans? Destroy their capital and turn it into an open field or at least a site of your grandest harem. Yipppeeee!

Why, why, WHY does EVERYTHING have to be an argument with you people?! And don't say "because so-and-so is an idiot and knows nothing about history", because by perpetuating the argument, you are just as idiotic. I mean, I can understand the occasional venting of frustration- and Gelationus Cube's comment was somewhat uncalled-for- but by refusing to let it go, you're just perpetuating a situation that everyone else is bored to death by.

So please, for the sake of everyone else here, DROP IT.

Edit: I looked again, and it looks like this argument just ended. So let's please keep it that way.

IMHO, in forums two of the socially acceptable-polite rules are:

Rule#1: Unless you have something to contribute to the thread, don’t say anything.
Rule#2: Since there is no compulsory reading or replying, see Rule#1

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.

[barocca]

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...)

[Sarcasm]

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....

[QwertyMIDX]

I didn't see the comments that were erased, but I too would perfer if the mods would let us run our sub-forum and only throw their weight around when we call in the big guns, or someone asks for a mod to intervein because they feel we are abusing our control of our forum.

[Stormy]

I think someone said something hostile towards a group of ppl, a specific rebel group we have in our mod.

It was about jews...
