Europa Barbarorum is the coolest mod ever!

Nah, the Lusotannans never controled Ireland, but they were descendants of the Celts, who came from the north, including Ireland. I guess that's what the victory conditions come from.
Same with the Casse, I suppose. They never descended into Gaul, yet their victory condition include going as far south as the Pyrenées.

But some iberian tribes did invade (mostly likely be assimilating) the southern tribes of ireland, creating the gaelic culture. It happened within our timeframe (quite early on in fact) and that is why we chose it for the Lusotannans.

On Eb dieing, I will quote from a famous writer...

Reports of EB death have been slightly exaggerated

In fact, I believe these are good times for us. New members have joined the ranks, plans for M2TW are being laid out. In fact we drool over the possibilities that M2TW, once fully moddable can present us.

Oh, and another thing. With the amount of details inherent on EB as is it will take years to see all it has to offer. My advice is not to rush into it. Enjoy it for what it can offer, plan ahead, build up your territories, then when on war, go for the throat, then stop, build up your new acquisitions, etc.

Oh and another thing. It might be a good idea to limit your EB playing time to 2-3 hours per day...

Yes EB is such a beautiful mod, to bad I can't play it right now since I'm so engrossed in Oblivion :P

Easy to say... Much harder to actually do.

Wow im glad I got answers. Interesting ones too..I gotta look more into Lusotannans..

I second that. EB is very addicting...

[Dan_Grr]

Interesting, Im playing with the Lusotanan right now, which happen to be my direct or semi-direct ancestors. And I had no idea about them going to Ireland, aren't they supposed to be a low level sea nation on the game?

Life's so easy when:

1) You're an active EB member
2) You don't have a PC of your own, but have to share one with others
3) Or both 1 & 2 apply

Makes it impossible to spend more than roughly an hour a day on playing EB and that's an average. Plus, of course, you get to see more of the real action.

The only downside for easily located members is the gaesatae reminder squad.

In 2 hours I got bored of Oblivion. I killed everything that was possible. Not hard enough...

You should have played until you leveled up a few times... In vanilla Oblivion the monsters become harder to beat as you level up, rather than the opposite. Which is the biggest flaw of it... Try Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. There you get instant challenge and an incentive to level up.

Yea I like the way they did it though, when your just starting out and learning stuff is easy for you in the game, then as you get farther along it gets more challenging as you learn the ropes more, I did the quest were you have to go into oblivion to shut down the first gate at like level 12 and was having to deal with some tough Sob's.. I just started a new char though cause my last 2 kept becomming mass murderers expelled from all the guilds... I made a shaman like class for this char, Light armor, mysticism, alchemy, blunt, and a couple others, designed loosly on the WoW Shaman class.


The funny thing is on my computer EB is more stable then Oblivion...

are you getting less downloads or whatever than when the mod was first released?

i fo one only came to eb this year having got bored with m2tw.

Looks like you didn't read the thread:

I just want to say that this mod is the best mad it beats all other games and stuff. I just hope it doesn't die like all the other mods in "Hosted mods for RTW". I can't wait for the next patch. I heard there was an EB2 thats for Medieval 2: Total War. I hope to get that game. I know this mod will live long (though not forever) but keep me satisfied for a long time.

Emphasis added by me.

This is the downloads of 0.81a from the time it was released until ...now...

Downloads of EB 0.81(a): 40747 (includes patch installer)

I think we are doing pretty fine.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Yes that's true, EB rocks.

[Yun Dog]

almost 41,000 downloads HOLY cr@p!!!

is EB bigger than Jesus?
