How about a EB PBEM game?

If your tgas come out all black and you don't want to mess with graphic cards settings, run RTW in windowed mode. You can then take normal screenshots via PrtScr and then paste them in irfanview and do whatever you want.

Yay econ, I wanted to suggest an EB PBEM with a more advanced version of EB at some point, similar to the "Will of the Senate" one. I'm so glad it's already going to happen. It's just so excellent, the people involved and how good it is, one based on EB would rule the universe. Or just be a lot of fun. Either way, I can't wait.

if we do rome or a hellenic faction i'm in.... i kinda suck at the barbarians (and rome but it will still be interesting) and we should take on a single character of the chosen empire and fight their battles automating captain battles or have a 'senate' character play them

although you'll all end up laughing at my pathetic character cos i am so bad at the game

not enough playing and too much modding

A bad player is always fun for PBEM's I think. Not every general was perfect, and this reflects that perfectly for RP and for fun

. Your cloud has a wonderful silver lining Giant Monkey... Man... ehem, yes.

It might be premature, given that 0.8 still sounds some way off, but there's a fair amount of interest in this thread. To begin preparation, I could start a poll in the Throne Room on what EB faction people would prefer. Here's a list I put together of the factions in 0.8, is it correct?

1. SPQR (Rome)
2. Karthadastim (Carthage)
3. Arverni (Gaul)
4. Audei (Gaul)
5. Sweboz (Germania)
6. Casse (Briton)
7. Iberia (Spain)
8. Sauromatae (Samartia)
9. Hayasdan (Armenia)
10. Pontos (Pontus)
11. Pahlav (Parthia)
12. Arche Seleukia (Seleucia)
13. Ptolemaioi (Egypt)
14. Baktria (Bactria)
15. Makedonia (Macedon)
16. Koinon Hellenon (Greece)
17. Getae (Dacia)
18. Epeiros (Epirus)
19. Saka-Rauka (Scythia)

Please point out any spelling mistakes or if the bracketed English translation is 100% wrong (99% is ok so long as there is a grain of truth; it is just for ignoramuses like me who often don't know roughly what the faction represents from its EB name alone).

If you do one, can you allow players who don't have the mod to play a part in it? Like in The Will of the Senate?

Isnt sythia like ages away in a different direction. Id suggest putting something like north eastern steppe faction for saka ruake as sycthia is comepletely different.
