The birth of SOMETHING GOOD... EBCIV

**keravnos** · 05-17-2007, 17:25

Aranor, after consulting with us, has JUST started working on a EB on CIV. It will be hard, difficult and sometimes thankless effort. We understand this, because it took us this long to make EB for RTW. It might have also been a good idea to wait on it, before letting you guys know. But since it is out on civfanatics, it is already out.

Besides, Aranor is undertaking a big step in trying to create EB for "Beyond the Sword" expansion of Civ4. So, call my post a blatant "EBCIV WANTS YOU" if you must, but if you love EB as much as we all do, and also civ (which I don't think anyone playing strategy games can not appreciate, if not love), well, EBCIV can't hurt.

If you can help with the EBCIV effort and want to, or just feel like sayin "hello ebciv" click the link!

Looks good, I may have to brush the dust off of my CIV install before I play this though.

LOL Thanks Keravnos! I had been hoping to keep it quiet here at least until I had a few more factions done or a workable beta but any announcement that might bring us more help is definitely welcome!

Hopefully within the next 3 weeks 3 more faction will be added to the Completed pile (Well completed for Warlords that is

they still will be needed to be converted to Beyond the Sword.) Now here's hoping I can live up to the impressive name EB has already made!

Cheers

Make us proud! You do realize that you will probably be squished under the pressure. On that note, good luck Aranor!

Btw, I would probably kill to see something like EBCIV flourish, so expect human sacrifices.

I LIVE FOR PRESSURE!

I EAT IT FOR BREAKFAST!!

If you want human sacrifices, sure I have one ready for you. And will keep them coming as you request. I think I will create a position called Thaatu's human sacriface and every week Thaatu can do what he wills to them!

I also have extremely high hopes for EBCIV. And grand plans. If anyone wishes for EBCIV to succeed its me, more than anyone here, or on CivFantics. While EB is the EB teams baby, the entire concept of porting to CIV Beyond the Sword is my baby and as such I need it to be perfect. And believe me, it will be perfect or I will sacrifice myself for you Thaatu!

Don't set your goals too high. The Great God of modding has smited even more confident men. He tends to do that, just for fun. So remember you're going against divine powers.

LOL small steps first. Factions, then techs and the EDU after that the goals get high. But atleast for the short term the goal will be low enough that they can be achieved by myself and a small team. And I always have the original EB team for support and advice, Keravnos has already been an amazing help.

Speaking of factions, I have just released the Galatians, and I have just taken a look at an early release of the Sweboz, they are looking great! I would never have known that pay-t had only published 2 civs before these. From what I am seeing, EBCIV factions are going too look very pretty indeed
