    Thanks to all for the support

    Yup, been very happy with Qwerty's stats. It ain't easy balancing all these new units so they all succeed / fail according to their relative strengths to other units. I think he's done a bloody brilliant job imho.

    I ran a poll, and 95% of respondents replied that a thread titled "Congrats and Comments" would be.....congratulatory. But somehow those statistics don't seem to back up the results playing out here in the thread. How odd.

    Since the originator is a fanatic for accuracy, perhaps he could either retitle this one, or start a new one. To be accurate, please title it "Accusations and Insults".

    You know, I was thinking this myself!

    I think that the first post was well thought out (clearly) and had some useful points. But I think that the responses have fairly reasonably explained that the model proposed by the thread-starter had been explored, and discarded in favour of another approach. This seems fair enough to me.

    However, it seems that some people have taken over this thread in an effort to ressurrect old arguments (about spear use or something, or so I gather?).

    Perhaps this thread, having diverged from the original post to such a great degree, should be closed and not simply renamed?

    fallen851 i was about to write long post but fortunately i dont have to anymore.

    Thus I will be creating my own EDU file.
    I say You Go Boy.
    I wish you best luck, and i can assure you that if your stat system will be better that the one we have we will use it (with your permission offcource).
    Loading stats into EB and "feeling" how they work its the only test.
    Plain numbers cant substitute this unless you know formula that RTW uses.
    You cant just say lower armour value, rise shield value and it will be better.
    We just dont know it because we dont know RTW formula.

    "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes" Dunno what this means, but i like to interpret it as "If it ain't broke don't fix it". I love EB, we don't pay for it, so if the maestro's behind don't wanna change it, then why press it? Also what factions can recruit gesticae? (off topic i know, but the topic was getting old)

    My two pence also (go British currency)

    Ditto. The irony if someone creating a long winded detailed thread complaining about numbers systems and armor values to characters on a computer video game calling other people "dorks" or "geeks" is not lost. Especially considering this same person spent a good ammount of time creating his own system for playing his computer game.

    Of course then launching off into some long winded diatribe attacking people here with some pretty out of left field insults makes it pretty obvious who the real person he was describing was. Looks to me like he's lived a pretty rough life from what he described. Might be a good idea to seek therapy about it because if it manifests itself here and you lash out like this over a video game, you need to get yourself under control because I doubt it is limited to your encounters over the internet.

    I guess to sum it up. To quote a great troll from the Bears forums:

    ". . . Ah, Macroi, the irony . . ."

    The sad truth is, you can't even respect yourselves.
    Wow, I think this deserves this week's "least graceful exit from a flamewar" prize.

    We have one of them, right?

    Being a keen historian and wargamer (and modder, why not) doesn't preclude a person from having relationships or doing other, possibly physically active, things - that it might in some way is a very strange idea! Nearly as strange as the concept that age inexplicably leads to wisdom, or that men typically develop sexual characteristics in their twenties.

    Is this thread done yet?
