False Statements about EB

[Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom]

whaa????

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...

Indeed its certainly not always like Vanilla. In fact, its usually gonna be always certainly not like Vanilla. It was a very biased write-up, and the sort of thing that surely doesnt help the perceived relations between the two mods. Can't we all just have our multiple installs and deal with it?

Fighting in RTR is in fact much slower than in EB. I remember when I was playing 6.2 version having a clash between one unit of mak pikemen and one of some greek hoplites that took about 20 minutes with minimal casualties. Well... I like realism, but i dont have whole day to fight single battle.

[stalin]

No it isn't in the gold version, the troops rout a lot quicker I play it regularly to remind myself how lucky I am to have EB. But we've had this thread before hence why don't we show uselves to be we bigger men than the other fanboys and close this?
