I know you said you want to wait to explain things, but I just wanted to try and understand it a little better. Using that new system, is it beneficial to start with one type and once the town is developed enough to then switch to the other type? for example If I used the pastoral option and then built walls and good things like that, could I then switch the gov. to nomadic and still have the walls and all? If you want to talk about this with the release that's fine i would just like to hear some explanation on this kind of thing at some point. Thanks, Awesome job guys and I can't wait!!!
It all looks awesome. I cant wait. Its probably a good thing it wasnt released today, as I have work to prepare for tomorrow, and if .8 had been released I doubt I would do it.
Hopefully 'VERY soon' means hours rather than days, as then I can at least get some guilt-free hours of play in over the weekend...
Once again, Im totally in awe of your hard work and effort. Whenever it comes out, Im sure it will be worth the wait!
While you could destroy pretty much everything, and then restart with a migration and then choose a different path (nomadism or pastoralism), this won't happen as much I think. The determinent for what buildings are available are due partially to this building level (nomadism or pastoralism) but also to some other buildings like the first warlord's camps you build. So you'd have to clean things out sorta. Anyway, in pure nomadic provinces, you won't be turning pastoral anyway because of restrictions in Hidden Resources.
I'm gonna start an Arveni campaign, but not before squeashing the game with custom battles...

Wow, freaking awesome, but I'm really anxious for this..
If anyone really wants to talk about that stuff, you can find it in the Backroom, with an appropriately named title.
Keep stuff posted here appropriate to the forum. Thanks.

That almost makes me want to write a song-"Santa Zeus is Coming to Town" *goes to write song*

EB 0.8 will include the latin and gaul voice mods, as well as completelly new music done by 2 talented artists, I'm not sure it'll be completed in 0.8 though.

Trust me guys, EB 0.8 is a huuuge improvement over 0.74. Tons of new stuff have been added.
Just wait a little more, we need some mashing with these nasty pests to do.
Ok, a whole new custom musical score, a number of new voice mods...I don't know that there are any other new sounds.
I've been told EB 1.0 will be released before 11th May 2348, is that true? ;)

I would like to formally request an add-on for the .81 patch when it's released. In .74 for some reason the barbarian warcry doesn't make any sound really. So as we are on the topic of sound will switching to .8 solve this since it runs off the 1.5 patch? And if not could someone please, please try to mod that aspect, because I really miss hearing the barbarians screaming?

I hate to ask the forbidden question, but what's the status of 0.8? Can we expect a release this weekend?
pezhetairoi 05:57 12-02-2006
My gut feeling says it will only come out towards Christmas, but squee! It's coming out, at least, and that's all I'm going to ask for! Though it may be a little hard to pull myself away from Maple Story now that my girlfriend's wanting me to play all the time... >_>
But yes, I will start a Makedonian campaign first of all! After they gave me such trouble as the Romani, it's time to give them back some of their own. But I seriously hope there'll be some regional recruitables in Italia, or I will have serious troubles garrisoning a vacuum like I did when my Arverni invaded Italia surfing on seas of blood.

It won't be out today.

I would say you should not expect that, but it isn't out of the question.
Our target release date was Nov. 30th, and even if we had not made a choice to add a rather impressive new feature that was completed a day after the desired date, unforseen bugs would have caused a similar delay. However, we have locked the build down and it is just a matter of getting all our ducks in a row.
Given the current state of the posts in the forum I would bet my own mother in law it will be out tonight (I would want to lose that bet), or my own mother it will be some time this week.
I wonder how many fans died while waiting for the release. I'm sure a few have passed away, sad.
