False Statements about EB

[Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom]

Quote: Combat in Barbarorum is very similar to how it is in the vanilla version of Rome Total War, and as such is much faster paced than the battles in Total Realism. Depending on how you like to play the game and at what sort of speed, this could be a deal breaker in terms of which mod you prefer, as the character of fights is completely different between the two mods.
With Europa Barbarorum still very much a work in progress, as can be seen from the lack of descriptions to some units and factions, it is clear that there is still some way to go before it is as highly refined as Total Realism.

This is one of those reviewers who played all the way to year 50BC, with at least 3 factions (Rome/Carthage, a Celt one and a Hellenistic one), right? Right?

Nevermind.

I'm not sure what you're complaining about. He stated that EB isn't as complete as RTR, and I agree. It is far more detailed than the latter, yes, and that's why I still like EB, but in my opinion, RTR is more complete.

So all he's saying is that EB still has a ways to go before it reaches its full potential. RTR has already reached the full potential that 6.x allows.

Personally, I'm getting quite sick of the friction between the fans of both mods. As soon as someone mentions something that vaguely favours RTR, he's said to be on RTR's payroll. By all means, disagree with the guy's statement; just don't use it as another excuse to slag off another mod.

Sigh...

There's no reason to disparage RTR over this Roddy. I've got no mod powers, but could you drop the 'rtr payroll' quip? We appreciate you posting the link here though, as I don't think anyone knew about it.

Though I'm not thrilled about that writeup, any press is good press around here I suppose.

You have to admit they guy/gal doesn't sound that informed now I have never played the two mods back to back but I sure as hell wouldnt call EB's combat vanilla like.

[Cheexsta]

I'd agree with Descent, it's certainly not always like Vanilla. It depends on your general; with an average general, your battles will be at a level higher than vanilla. With a bad general, the battle will be over pretty quickly, like vanilla. Unfortunately, the AI doesn't seem to give all of their armies generals, which may be what this guy is basing his opinion off. But I haven't read the whole article so I don't know...

IS this a joke, lol this guy must be on Rome total realism's payroll.

Remember that everyone have right for their opinions. I dont agree with him, that doesnt make him less right than me.
