EB Unit Development Art

[alatar]

We are NOT The Lordz and we will NEVER be. We are here because we love a good pc game, and historical authenticity first and foremost. EB's goal is to combine that. What Dave showed was for us members only. This is an all-volunteer effor to fix things we believe needed fixing on RTW, in an area that CA simply can't afford to spend that much time/research on. We, on the other hand can, and do.

Think of it this way. CA makes the next best thing, gives us this big huge sandbox to play in, whereas we on the other hand spend a couple of year, and even more and ACCORDING TO OUR OWN VISION, fix what we perceive were faults, and expand it where we consider it should be expanded. Then we go on the newer, better game, and CA can keep on perfecting the next TW franchise title etc.

It is a win, win, win situation. You all get a very good mod of a CA game, We get that sandbox full of opportunities and such-not to mention working on a game we all dreamt of playing, and CA gets the money from increased sales of RTW-M2TW and assorted mechandise. A perfect symbiosis if you ask me. Yet it can change. If people perceive that "THE LORDZ" path is the way to go, CA can very simply make a patch that makes modding its games impossible. Then we all lose as none of the "win,win,win" conditions apply. Let's not go down that road. We are perfectly happy as we are now.

Oh, and one other thing. I really hate it when people start bashing CA. I honestly do. We have a saying on my country, which goes something like..."Don't piss on the pool of drinking water". You can complain on it as long as you want, but ... don't piss on it.

Great post. CA even said the same things in there press release on the m2tw expansion.

Oh, I will say this - if anyone really is incredibly interested, I can just post graphics here for them to use or put on their own shirts or whatever. That takes it out of our hands entirely. As long as no site others can use is made. Pretty much any of the art by caratacos is fair game. I might not be able to do it immediately, but I'll get around to it if people really want one of them posted. There are plenty of sites on the 'net where you can just plug in a graphic and give your paypal number and they will send you a tshirt or sweatshirt or whatever.

These are the ones I had done so far:

I like the idea, but please remove the "Europa barbarorum" text. That's way too nerdish.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Sorry. That's the logo and that was the whole point of having it designed like that - so it's not just a cool unit, but represents the mod. "nerdish" is what EB is about man!

Dude... That Grivpanvar...

Teleklos, I know you hate PMs, but please check your inbox

Come on, the Sahsnotoz has clearly just girded up his loins enough to enter the backroom here, and is now reconsidering.

I love that pic, it reminds me when two my elite italics launched a volly at the Spatan hoplites flank. The hoplite just rqaised there sheild turned to face them and charged, they took about 2 casulties and the elite italics were not happy. But they charged them aswell, Italies best against the best greeks, awesome...

(Slightly off topic but the pict made me think about it)
