Some questions about this amazing mod!

**Copperhaired Berserker!** · 08-30-2005, 21:36

Here are a few questions:

1. In one of the screenshots in the haydasian preview or something along those lines, the icons like fire at will etc. were in different places. Is this been touched by the EB team?

2.What are the benefits of having a general doing the olmypics?

3.Will roman generals be on foot or on horseback?

4.When's the release date?

5.What differences will they be between the beta and the full version?

6. How many previews are left?

7. By any chance will you tell us what Occultus is?

8. I'll be doing a story AND guide for EB. Would you let post in your fourm as it will get much more notice?

I sound like some media girl asking (or pestering) a celebities!

I can answer #4 for you.

when it's done

1) I don't know actually... seems possible that we might have

2) New trait if he wins... that sort of thing.

3) Horseback I think.

4) Check your farmer's almanac.

5) Probably a good many. More units, features, and showy graphical nonsense in the full version

6) Who knows

7) A state of mind.

8) I'd say whatever floats your boat

I'd also see no particular problem with it here, but I can't speak for the mod in saying that.

That's just MINIMUM_UI. You can turn that on in your preferences.txt

7. By any chance will you tell us what Occultus is?

Eventually

It's a secret.

(Damn, but that never gets old!)

I don't mean to sound agressive or demeaning, but I am really tired of hearing about Occultus. Aside from the EB team, I am probably the only person here who isn't standing on their tiptoes, begging to know what it is. (Of course, now it sounds like I desperately want to know what it is, even if I really don't.

)

Well bully for you. I've never said a word about it, I just put it in my .sig. If you don't like it, tell the people who ask about it to stop asking.

Hey! I'm doing a guide for EB too! Seems like I've got competition :) *types even faster now*

Release date? I get this feeling it'll be soon. But as I said on another thread, the concept of soon is an elastic one... :-D

How many previews left... guess. :) Though it shouldn't be that hard.

I expect generals will be on horseback, unless there's a good historical reason for a faction to have its general fight on foot alongside his men.

A general winning the olympics has better traits while losing it has some sort of penalty, if I remember correctly. Must go back to verify. Or you could check some of the old gameplay previews, it's in there somewhere.

Differences between beta and open version, well, there's a thread contemporary to this one that elucidates the differences...

I wasn't blaming you; I was taking the opportunity to ask the other people to... wait... did you just say "bully"? As in the early 20th century slang term Bully? Honestly, I am impressed.

Anyway, I apologise for offending you, but I am asking the EB followers to hold their tongues and just wait. They're like kids when they see a mystery ice cream van- it's silly.
