    What kind of research is expected from individuals, and from which sources is such information to be derived (classical sources, modern commentaries, etc.)? I consider myself reasonably well informed about history, but I'm not certain if I could rise to the standards of EB when it comes to historical accuracy. Is there a chance you could post an example building, how research was done for it, and the description written about it? And what kind of hours put into the work are expected each week? Any information on what's expected from volunteers would be much appreciated.

    Apologies, I understand my descriptions and information are inbiguous, I am ongoing in improving them, As soon as I recieve an example peice of research and outcome, which I have put in a request for, I will post it to provide you some insight, As for hours, I high level of active with the forum is always wanted, we don't want another dreaded lurker... but ultimately it is the outcomes which are wanted.

    A quick note - the types of writing that we need are mostly descriptions. There will be no vanilla descriptions in EB - all vanilla ones have been wiped away. We are rewriting all unit (of course as you've seen) and building descriptions. So we need people who know a fair amount about certain factions and have access to materials that they can use to write descriptions about a certain thing - for example a Carthaginian trading port, or an Iberian market, or a Pontic road (etc.). Some factions are totally done (most celtic ones), but some like Armenia/Hayasdan, Getai, Carthaginians/Karthadastim, and some variants for Hellenic descriptions, Iberia, etc. still could use from a little to a lot of work. We also would need more than a description every four days or so. Not looking just for speed, but it would be nice if it didn't take a really long time to do them.

    Hopefully that may answer some of your questions for now. -Lu
