September/October Preview?

[Tanit]

I know the EB team is working especially hard these days to finish .8 and I truly appreciate all of their work, but.....Would it be possible toget another preveiw to wet the appettites of your adoring fans? Possibly even a glimpse at the still mysterious ibex shield faction? That would be great guys.

[eadingas]

We gave you three previews, and three new addons to download, within three weeks, and you still want more? Oh, the humanity!

We're actually back on track with 0.8 (people coming back, things getting sorted out, bugs getting cleaned) so we'd rather spend time finishing this one finally. Expect previews when we're stuck again on something ;)

[Equilibrium]

We are really working hard on the 0.8 release and it seems to be really not far away, so stay tuned. If no major new bugs arise, 0.8 should be available to the public soon.

Edit: In the meanwhile, you could also give Arthurian TW a try, it's a really fun mod. But only until EB 0.8's out of course

[Little Legioner]

Nice news for 0.8 version!

Just wondering, could we able to use our old save games with the new verison? Coz, i've wiped out evil Makedons, poor Hellenon, Greedy Romans and Barbaric Getai from history in my Epeiros campaign.

By the way EB is awesome mod. I play it with a great joy. Serious gameplay like Chess combined with classic TW gameplay ( except vanilla RTW ).

Godspeed mates. We're waiting for your new update eagerly.

i'm sorry this is not possible, the changes are too deep (new units etc...)

[Little Legioner]

Bad news for me good new features for us

So, i'll begin a new campaign again

[Equilibrium]

We've ported from rtw1.2 to 1.5 btw, that alone doesn't allow old saves(since we've added two new factions).

Also a lot of traits have been added or changed(biggest part of that being ethnicities) and that alone would make it impossible to use your old save. Then you add Map changes, resource changes(check the preview if you haven't already done so), new units etc.

Im going to Portugal next Wednesday - reckon I'll come back to a shiny new EB ?

[eadingas]

Now, now, we're not falling for giving any dates this time :) Just because we've moved through with work on 0.8 doesn't mean it will be ready by next week or two. It just means it will be ready soon :)

[Baldrick]

Christmas will be fine thanks

Eadingas is absolutely right here, it will be soon but we won't tell you an exact date.

[Little Legioner]

Good news then

Howmany new units shall you include to 0.8? Plus, if i heard it true many old unit skins redone. You already did a great mod. I believe that a new Epeiros campaign shall be a exciting adventure for me.

Thank's a lot EB team.

Worth a try

[Equilibrium]

Worth a try

Err.....no

[Krusader]

I've placed a preview of sorts somewhere...go hunt!

Not bad, but needs more Agemata.

so the last one, is that a reskin or a new unit, because it looks pretty different from the old unit by the same name...

ps--they all look great!

[Ypoknons]

So somewhere along the line the Indo-Greek Hoplites got reclassified as peltasts and we got true hoplites as Indo-Greek Hoplites instead. Fascinating.

[Homo Sapiens]

Kudos to whoever skinned the Thorakitai!

Indo-Greek Hoplites of previous previews are now named Indo-Hellenikoi Peltastai...so this new unit is prolly Indo-Hellenikoi Hoplitai now.

Now your appetites have been sated for a while hopefully

Wanna bet they want even more?

[Conqueror]

We are EB fans. We have an insatiable lust for more information and more updates. You can never hope to quell our demands, although a new EB version release will probably keep us distracted for a while

[Equilibrium]

Ok, since we previewed this unit already, a panoramic shot I made yesterday during unit integration:
Edit: Whoops, my mistake, we hadn't previewed this unit yet, but here's another one(already previewed):

who can recruit these dudes

[Equilibrium]

Everybody can, that is the Babylonian Shipri Tukrul Infantry, a regional unit. The name suggests where you can recruit them

[Trithemius]

If people have had fun hunting, can some kind person post a link for the rest of us incompetents. ;)

[Mujalumbo]

Check the EB website and gallery every now and then.

I think the team likes to try and slip things by when they think nobody is looking... ;)

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Visit a lot of different sites associated with EB and you never know what in
the world you will come up with. You may find some really cool new things on a
website somewhere if you are lucky, a forum possibly, a review even linked to a
gallery of shots, or some other type of sneak peak into various things EB. Or wait
for them to show up eventually in the game and you can see them then. But if a
new patch or extra download is what you want, you probably won't find any
unit updates or anything like that. But you never know. We have lots of cool
pictures of our new units already shown so maybe that's enough.

edit: damn you!

[paullus]

there's even an interesting shot, posted by TA, of the midriff of a heavy kretan archer. looks nice, and much the sort of direction I was hoping they would go for at least one of the variants of kretans. oh yeah, the shot is in some thread over at twc.

[vizigothe]

I came here looking for a definition of soon. Does anyone have one?
