    They never were "Friday" previews, even when I was doing them. They were always weekend previews. I just tried to post them on Friday when I could.

    "Excuse?" What is amusing are people who have this sense of entitlement. Morbidly amusing.

    We don't have to do any sort of prievews. We don't even have to release our mod. That is something it is always good to rember when we are late with our dates, as well as the reason why we will never give a release date for the actual mod.

    Idomeneas, we were doing that for a while, just having units as it was done. This way, more units are completed from one faction, in order to allow a more complete faction line up, as opposed to a sprinklining from all over the factions, as we used to do.

    Guys, the preview will be a really good one. We are just waiting on something else to really make it better -- it's got nothing to do with someone not getting work done or forgetting about it or anything like that at all. Our skinners and modellers (or both when it's the same person) are overtaxed and we are all going as fast as we can, but when something else is almost ready, but it means holding the preview off just a little longer, then we will probably do it.

    It's not even noon on Sunday where I am yet, and we have every expectation of having it up at some point today still, but we can't promise anything ever really. Just cool down a bit, I know there is no way you can possibly be more anxious to see it as some of us are to actually get it out to you. So it won't be much longer at all till you see the words: Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans!, but you gotta hang on patiently just a bit more.

    It's not a matter of preview quality at all. I know the previews will be very good. What I am saying is, maybe you should reconsider the timing of the previews. It just seems like they are a lot of work for some already overworked people. Come to think of it, why not do bi-weekly previews? That way, you would be sure to have enough time to do them on time. Or, as I suggested, just don't even bother setting a timescale- do them whenever you feel you have time.

    It's a weekend preview, so it's suppose to Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. It's still Sunday, so they're are not late. Sometimes the preview did come on a Monday or Tuesday or later, but the previews are so nicely done, the extra days of wait are worth it.

    i disagree with the: show what you got, when you get it.
    if that will be done now 3 people will be working their butts of to upload 35 random screenies.
    follow 3 months of intense silence where here and there a picture will be uploaded. everyhtign will be compared to 'that day EB released 25%'..marketingwise.
    dont show everything you got. and what you show shoudl be spread out.

    23:45, and wiz lives in my timezone. or wil Aymar be our saint this time?

    We haven't seen Wiz for a week or two, so I think it won't be him. But we do have plans, fear not.

    well, to be honest, i dont 'fear' anything. take your time, release what you got.
    now that the 'new' stuff is out of it, i'm still anxious to play it, but not jibbering to see the previeuw

    Sun's still way up in the sky on Sunday for me guys.

    One other thing about the preview. Whether we like it or not, it does push production a little faster and lights small fires under our tails over and over.
