Please post suggestions for the next version of EB here. All complaints, comments, tech support issues, and discussions which do not pertain to the next version of EB should be posted elsewhere.

Dear EB Team,

The obvious would be to carry on into the next period but as that has been done by RTW and no doubt you will bring out a better version, why not go in the opposite direction. Is it possible to start Rome under Aeneas and or begin with his flight from Troy to Rome and then build around the conquests and alliances down to the time of 7.3. The time factor would more than cover for the lack of opponents as each ruler would be included and the game could only continue as each overcomes his enemies. The idea comes after playing Slitherine's terrific new game Legion Arena. Am I asking too much or do I underestimate the genius of you guys?

Yours,
basics.

maybe you could make a mod with that in it, but as you said thats the total opposite of what they're trying to accomplish right now...
if I'm wrong, then I apologize, but I think they enjoy their set start and end dates and wish to progress with said time period before looking elsewhere.

Khelven isn't talking about "EB 2.0", but "EB .74". That means what do you think we should include in the next patch/version? Not stuff that's broken or obviously missing, but new concepts or ideas.

If its possible, I'd like to see some sort of scripting that would direct computer-controlled factions to expand as they really did.

I would really love to see more sprites. It's not really important gameplay wise, but it really does change the beauty of the EB models when they all appear the same from far away.

Touche, I really think this is the most important thing to do next.

Sorry,
Got the wrong end of the stick there. It's old age I'm afraid.

Sprites, the new units, some of that new beautiful vegetation people have been making, and anytime you can add more to the traits and scripting (the coolest part about EB to me) that's a good thing.

Is the plan to add a new faction in the next build, or is it further down the line?
