What a pity - and it is really not aviable anymore? Not even on sides the EB-Team isn't responsible for and couldn't be harmed for a picture showing a naked "Barbarian"? ^^

OK

Whats the difference between the unit art....and michael angelos david. Both are unashamed, art, historical, not in anyway pornographic or 'silly'. Next thing we'll have to cover up any naked knees shown in the unit art!

Sorry but this type of pithyness is a load of bollocks....in both senses :).

I vote for his reinstatement.....bollocks to the prissy brigade!!

What does a knee have to do with a willy? I agree with you in terms of historical accuracy since these warriors fought in the nude or close to it. The original way the EB team posted the picture was in a spoiler so anybody could choose whether they wanted to see the picture or not. I think that this way was fair.

Not going to happen.

The spoiler didn't work on the TWC, we knew we were taking a risk in putting it up, there were complaints, so we, as a courtesy, withdrew the image. Perhaps, and I'm not sure about this, we could give the image by pm to someone who requested it.

We'll see.

Guys, this mattered has been considered by the team, and decided upon. No use talking about it. If you dislike us for acting this way, it is too bad. I DO believe there are other marvelous things both EB, and Caratacos have shown throughout the time Caratacos has joined our ranks. Absolutely no use talking about this issue because nothing is going to happen.

Besides, there's no real reason for it not to appear on the official EB site in the future.

**Watchman** · 05-07-2007, 23:11

But the audience demands fan service !

It won't be being released to the public. Whilst EB does contain naked fanatics, its not something that we wish to advertise with. Regardless of our own feelings on the matter we must be aware that others do find such images offensive. We won't be changing things on the inside, we assume people have agreed to the past in all its nakedness when playing, but when we advertise EB we must be aware of the public's sentiment when confronted with such pictures.

This is a decision that the entire EB team came to after much deliberation. Comments and complaints had been made, and we decided that it was better to remove the picture than to alienate valued fans. Thats all really. Besides, Caractacos never really liked the anatomy of that figure, it was never supposed to be released to the public.

It's a slightly weird commentary on current values that normal, inert male genetalia are regarded as more shocking - and deserving of censorship - than the bleeding, severed head of a recently-killed man.
