I want your opinion

I say: All these mods will never be completed fast enough, nor will they ever reach a very large audience, because the mod community is to devided, and working on to many mods.

what do you think?

[Lovejoy]

I think it's great that there is many diffrent mods out there. Ofc its a shame many of them dont get the credit they deserv. But on the other hand, even if Jesus himself recommended and loved EB, it wouldn't be enough credit. :)

[Teleklos Archelaou]

I say: Well, since EB was the first mod for RTW, and started before the game itself was released, you can get mad at all the others ones instead. EB has a team that has changed over time but still has the directors it had two years ago and it's also the most ambitious and expansive mod for RTW out there.

[Djurre]

then why did RTW come to be. i mean, they aim for the same think, only with excessive sieging, and ugly units.

because CA didn't have access or didn't want to/couldn't afford to pay for infomation that some EB historians had, CA probably thought that historical accuracy could have lowered the gameplay experience (something that many people of the community also believe) and also CA actually wanted to make money and they percieved that their product, RTW, was the best way to do this
to be honest, RTW is a great game even with its flaws, it has kept me entertained for hours upon hours and mods like EB wouldn't be possible without the origional game or the producer's views on allowing community modding and have kept the gaming time increasing
this has been argued over and over again; why didn't CA make RTW like 'mod X' but in truth 'mod X' only came to be because of RTW

Stop spewing your CA-fanboi propaganda BS here!!!



Joking.

No, what GMM says is true. I have had many hours of enjoyment playing RTW myself too, and well, without RTW no mods
Although I will say, after playing some mods I really have a hard time going back to vanilla. But everyone have different tastes. Its impossible making a game (or mod) that everyone is 100% satisifed with.
Plus, its always the games you love, you know most flaws about, at least for me.

RTW is the game. It was created and produced by men and women that do such things for a living. This is how they make the money to pay their bills, send their kids to college and replace their personally own vehicles and such. It's called a job. It is a rather universal concept.

Without the RTW there is nothing to mod therefore no EB, RTR, or any other mod to RTW.

The good folk behind EB and all other mods are not getting paid. They are players that decided that they would like to see the game in a different style, so they devote time and energy to making the changes they feel appropriate for their own desires.

They do it for free, they do it the way they want it done, for the reasons that matter to them. It's called being creative. That is also a rather universal concept.

Then, at no charge or cost to the rest of us, they make it available. That's called sharing and being really nice.

Then all too often, those that did all the work and devoted all that time get cussed at, questioned on their choices, or argued with over concepts by folk that put zero effort into making the changes. It's called being an ass. That is also a rather universal concept, unfortunately.

I hope that helped address your apparent confusion.

Just be happy that you know of EB then.
