    Default 100,000 EBH Posts (& Unit Preview)

    100.000

    To all of you coming here, a big discrepancy must have made itself evident. While Eb can account for something like 163.000+ posts only 63K of those were of the public domain. The rest were not existent. What are they about? Where are they hidden?

    This thread is to let you know...

    Never mind the "300" Focus on the 100.000. The 100.000 post. It happened a few days ago.

    and...

    ----Again, click on the above link----

    Just to give you people a "inside" into our world, EBH, EB home. It is a place of wonder and work. Somewhere out of the boundaries of RL, a place where we military historians, artists, web monkeys, codderz, trait-ors, and even us voicemodders like. It is here that EB was and is still being created. The number 100.000 is the posts it took for us to get to where we are now. I honestly believe that a "beta" like EB is worth a lot more than other "fully develloped" mods, even games out there. If nothing else, playing it you will know why we love it. It took 100.000 posts on our internal forum, our work and your patience to see it through.

    Of course, this isn't over. Far from it. More than 20 of us (me among them) have expressed our desire to continue work on EB with 6 planning to work more in the future. Now, I won't lie to you. There are members among us who are worth more than half the team. There are others who just manage to pull their own weight, and others who just hang about. It isn't a matter of one being more worthy than someone else, far from it, just a matter of time and RL commitments. Heck, one of our members who didn't vote on the above internal "gallop" was out in military drills with his unit.

    There are still so many more things we want to do... So much more we see in Europa Barbarorum. Yet we do NOT forget our dues. We are thankful to CA for a magnificent game to mod, and are gearing up for transition on M2TW engine. Update 2 is shaping up to be a very nice thing. Our primary concern right now, is the "antitraits" which is broken. As Europa Barbarorum relies heavily on traits and scripts, not having them, will make translating into M2TW, very, very difficult.

    To conclude, don't let the 100.000 post godzilla get you! It is a tame kind of godzilla, our godzilla. It is us! Here is a sample of the goodness that awaits you in a future version of EB. A goodness made possible because of those 100.000 posts. (Don't try to guess what kind of unit it is, it IS difficult, but you are more than welcome to try!)

    You can always go check the https://www.europabarbarorum.com/factions.html site for references that will help you discern the following units. Click on the faction you want, then click on the "units" for some quick pictorial reference. Accurate too. All 350+ units of 0.81a EB are now in there. (-Edit: Just edited this to mention our web guy Krusader who went above and beyond for the site to be complete, and once you see it, you will understand the magnitude of the work involved).

    I will give you one name... Stephan25... He is one of our most talented artists and if the pics below won't convince you about that, nothing will!

    Keep up the good work. You have improved RTW greatly; with more factions, better AI, better recruitment system, and non-clone soldiers the MTW2 version of EB will no doubt be even more impressive.

    It's mind-boggling to think that EB, for all it's bad-assery, is still a beta. The finished article, that will be a mighty thing indeed. One day, the sheer amount of work that's gone into this beautiful game might stop impressing me. But it shall not be this day!

    And judging by the current rate of patches, by the time you guys have finished making EB, CA might have finished making M2

    Rabbit heartily recommends these EB AARs.

    Now that I have seen behind the curtain I am qualified to spread rumours.
    Thread titles put into perspective

    "EB v1.0 - Updates and Status": Meaning 1.0 is already finished, you're just testing our faith and making us wait.
    "Who is still on board": The EB team is having a crisis and is falling apart.
    "Quarterly fundraiser": The team is involved in drug trafficing and owe money to some Columbian cartel.
    "Why is Wikipedia the devil?": The EB research department finally sacks Wikipedia as their historical source.
    "300 sequal": The team is secretly a pro-300 group.
    "Attention! To Pack or not to Pack?": Urnamma is firing everyone.
    "My glorious return!": Zaknafien returns to Afghanistan for Rambo VI.
    "Things all EB Team Members should know": 1. Never let anyone backstage.


    Congratulations on the impressive mileage!

    What is amazing is that 10% of the post come from one individual!

    How come you dont fundraise in the public forum? Im sure many people would be eager to give to such a worthy cause. You guys have done so much for us after all.

    This is the kind of information that really makes me feel...humbled...I already knew I was "walking amongst giants" in terms of history knowledge, artistic aptitude and computer skills, but this speaks loud of the admirable dedication and constancy of the EB team.

    Congrats guys, know that we really appreciate your effort and dedication.




    Umm forgot to mention....those skins....are amazing!

    100000 posts is just mindboggling ... ... if anyone ever was in doubt that this is one of the greatest mod projects ever this will surely set them straight.

    Just one thing though: "Discussion of new unit stat/cost system" .... aaaaargh!!!!

    Why, didn't you know already? I remember that day Kull stated that EB 2 was done, yet the EB 1 guys kept it from being released... Now EB 1 is finished, we'll just lean back have some fun with it, and be as evil as not to share.

    Well, you see, when you see "Discussion of new unit stat/cost system" you should read "Discussion of the now old unit stat/cost system". The thread started in early 2005 but has grown somewhat far from it's initial topic: now we use it to discuss bugs in the stats or the numbers for new units. You won't have to rewrite all your cards in the near future.

    As a shot in the dark, I'd say it's a high level Getai spearman unit. But it was implied that the unit's appearance is misleading... hmm.

    Umm why would there be guessing, isn't it exactly as the pictures are titled Keltohellenikoi Hoplitai? I really love the design of the Casse skin!

    Hmmm a small oversight. You get the craftyness award Sir Ed. Though you could have pretended it was a guess-- we would have thought you a wizard then .

    Is it a new Peltastai model?
