We know that many of you are eagerly awaiting the release of the next version of Europa Barbarorum, and the EB Team wanted to update you on our progress. Over the past month, a titanic amount of labor has been expended, and the build is right on the cusp of completion. Although we were hopeful about a November release, the team needed a little more time to integrate a major new feature, plug in additional Unit UI cards, and to playtest the final build a little more thoroughly. We are literally down to a handful of changes and the build will be released VERY soon. Your long wait is almost over!

I`m sure we`re all as eager to try the .8 "beta" as a virgin for a marriage...
Thank you for your efforts, lads.

Will all the unit cards be done in 0.80?

Good answer! :)
I should note that not everyone is as obsessed about unit cards as some people (I'm obsessed about Roman auxiliaries).

For my part, I`m compulsively curious (obsessed maybe

) with the new baktrian units... how will they look like?
And also with the new nomadic government system...
May I ask a question: Have you got means to count how many times the new version will be downloaded? I`m just curious

, and would loooove to compare that number with the number of sold copies of M2TW...
Cheers!
Horray!!!!!

That's all you need to know:

Thanks, I`ve already seen that...
"Playing" it will be an entirely different feeling than "knowing"

I saw this thread posted and thought... THIS IS IIIITTTTTT!!!
but alas
*sobs*
whats the first thing you guys do when you start a new version/mod?
personally i start some custom battles with as many new units as possible, start the battle then read their unit descriptions while the games paused

in the 'allied client state' option, when it reads 'recruitment is limited to what the faction can recruit through local MIC's', does that mean the nomadic conquerors have to use the pre-existing MIC's that belong to the conquered peoples?
just wondering because sometimes in the early game rebels dont have MIC's yet.
BTW the build is frozen, and only two parts are to be finalized... One big, something you always dreamed of, but almost given up hopes for, and the UIs have to be put right to an extent. So don't plan on going for long holydays... postpone parties, cancel your date, divorce your wives.
Stay well tuned.

Will talk about this when it's released. It involves some things we don't want to say too much about just yet. Just hang on a bit more.
Oh yeah!, oh yeah!, oh yeah!
I'll exhaust the build when I get it! Thanks EB team for being so nice to us!

Will we have a tech tree this detailed for all the other factions?
No, sorry. This is necessary because it's a new system. The other tech trees are all very complex, but known fairly well for all the factions. Plus, they'd be so big and so dependent upon whatever government you chose and what hidden resources are in a province, that I don't think it's possible to draw it all out in something understandable.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
