I won't flame you. And you have a great question. Certainly, the propensity of ambitious hobbyists is to sometimes bite off more than one can chew.

I'll be deadpan honest with you.

When I first joined Europa Barbarorum, my gut reaction was "Holy S***! Is this even possible?"

The ambitions of your EB team are really that aggressive!

As I have had time to see the minutia of the project develop, I have seen these things come to fruition. And much more is slated or in progress.

I can best describe it as this:

A great idea is had by a team member. That idea is shared, and more ideas take place. Some are feasible, some are not. Soon, a chain reaction of ideas occur. The ones that are relevant, adoptable, and historical are put in the bigfat to-do list. The rest are s***canned (many of mine go this way, because I lack techno-savvy).

Sure, new ideas become appealing, but they are not embraced at the expense of older core ideas.

It is not a car that is always being worked on.

It is an artist's gallery, where each piece alone is beautiful, but the artist views the totality of the gallery as the masterpiece. The whole is not dependant on the individual component, instead the individual component id unique in it's own respect. EB is a collection of many brilliant mini-mods all wrapped and packaged into one, with each mini-mod amazingly tied into the whole and made symbiotic with others where possible.
