A little EB humor, plus a cool unit image

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Here are a few EB units together. Every one of these is different, but these are by no means all of them - there are tons more I couldn't find clean images of (without stuff in the background I could easily crop away). It's not really the right size for a background yet, but it's too messy to be one anyway probably. Just thought some folks might find it interesting. We did just win the Best Unit Art Award over at the TWC awards a few days ago.

Working on that in high detail - might make a poster out of it.
And some possible titles (with some help from the team):

Europa Barbarorum: Sticking People with Sharp Objects Since January 2004
Europa Barbarorum: Who do you want to stick with a sharp object today?
Europa Barbarorum: Who do you want to invade today?
Europa Barbarorum: We stick more people with sharp objects before 8AM than most people do all day
Europa Barbarorum: Quis Tuus Pater Est?
Europa Barbarorum: Bringing the Ancient World to Your Spleen Since January 2004
Europa Barbarorum: (note: the people pictured here do *not* get along well with others)
Europa Barbarorum: If at all possible, involve a Gaesatae
Europa Barbarorum: No Pirates, No Cowboys, No Ninjas - 143% Awesome
Europa Barbarorum: Have you buried your valuable objects today?
Europa Barbarorum: Got Spear?
Europa Barbarorum: Head for the mountains. No seriously... Oh god! Head for the mountains now!
Europa Barbaorurm: What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.
Europa Barbarorum: What can barbarian do for you?

(I realize "whom" (aka "quem/quos") is the proper declined form in number 2 and 3, but doesn't feel right here, so I'll change it to the alternative "who".)

edit. My suggestion: "Europa Barbarorum: Settling scores with history!"

[edyzmedieval]

I laughed so hard when I read this that the guys in the Internet cafe looked at me like I was some sort of ego maniac.

[Rex_Pelasgorum]

Truth is that life is more beautifull with EB

[Boyar Son]

One of 'em looks like a principe from RTR?!?!?!

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Pretty sure I took them all out of our unit screenshot thread and our unit info images. Which one are you talking about?

Way to bring a thread down.

[antisocialmunky]

Europa Barbarorum: We don't need women, history is our love shack.

[Cata_Tank_Guy#3]

Europa Barborum: Chuck Norris, screw him we got Gaesatae.

Remember, Chuck Norris hit Bruce Lee with a round house kick that was so powerful it split him in two, and one half became Jet Li and the other became Jackie Chan.

That is an awesome pic by the way. But in my quick scan of it, I couldn't find any Pedites Extraordinarii (though there were Samnite Heavy Mercenaries, but those just aren't the same).

[Barbarossa82]

What about, "Where's Wodánáwulfoz?"

Look at the lower left corner (general lower left)

Way to bring a thread down what a good eye!

[Zaknafien]

there is no rtr unit there.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

It was in a group of unit images Aymar sent to me - all of them are EB as far as I know. They were in a format just like the rest (and that format was not a standard RTW one), I can't imagine how it wouldn't be an EB unit. It says Principes.tga and as I said is in a format just like the others - sort of a unit info pic, but larger and with no grass, but with alpha channel already blocked. I don't know our roman units though, except for the first set you get (I never get to play a long campaign) before reforms set in. Is that not an EB unit?

[Zaknafien]

yes, it most defiantely is an EB Polybian principes.

[Boyar Son]

Oh well I saw it in RTR AAR forums and the RTR guide to playing as the Romans, that why I thought that was an RTR unit.

But EB's is also great! I'm not putting you guys down, I just saw this and wanted it pointed out so someone doesnt say that we stole that unit.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Europa Barbarorum: your very own barbarians since ...

Of course, the apropiate date is to be added where the "..." bit is now.

[dutch81]

WOW ... I have been playing this mod for months now ... I have only tried 6 or so factions ... but it is amazing how many of those units I have never seen in my campaigns YET.

[Kralizec]

Where's Waldo?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Also, the EB Polybian and RTR principes have a similar shield painting with the boar.

Ah ok!

Europa Barbarorum: History the way it's meant to be played.

EB: It's historically accurate. HOORAY HISTORICALLY ACCURATE!

More barbarians play Europa Barbarorum than any other mod.

Europa Barbarorum: Think outside the screeching women.

Europa Barbarorum: Only YOU can prevent head hurlers.

The Few, The Proud, The Ha'Abbirim Ha'Qdosim sel Astarte.

(alternatively) The Many, The Naked, The Gaesatae.

Europa Barbarorum: When it absolutely, positively has to be sacked and pillaged overnight.

[Kralizec]

Europa Barbarorum: war, pillage and mass slaughter the way it's supposed to be

[Imperator]

It's not really the right size for a background yet, but it's too messy to be one anyway probably.

Well, that didn't stop me! Thanks for an uber-sweet back-ground!
and to say "Thanks" here's a few ideas of my own:

Europa Barbarorum: Soldiers? What soldiers?
Europa Barbarorum: My thorakitai battalion would smoke any football team
Europa Barbarorum: Laugh at my funny name and get get a spear in the kidney
Europa Barbarorum: History Strikes Back
Europa Barbarorum: Not bad, but have you seen my posse?

[Sheep]

Baexdzhyntae: It's Proto-Ossetic for Hippotoxotai.

Seemed to work pretty well as a desktop background for me too!

[Watchman]

That pic is so my new desktop background. Although I suspect my brother will want the default back in the morning when he can't make out the program icons...

Europa Barbarorum: More obscure terms for violent people than you ever knew existed.

[King Agatholes of Syracuse]

EB:For all your Chremonidean needs

[The_Mark]

Dave, how about you whip up a new one, comprised of the slogans to put it up next to that one

On a side: Hey! Is that SOR's Carthiginian General form his thread in TWC? I was so hoping you guys would use it!! Yay!!
