EB July Map and Features Preview

[Kull]

You guys continue to amaze me.

One question though (other than the obvious WHEN WILL IT BE DONE?!?! OMG!! )

In your testing, has the elimination of Arabia made the Saba faction anymore secure than before from the AS or the Ptolemaics?

One thing we did not like was the ahistorical "journey across the heart of burning desert". Every time an army marched in a straight line from Seleukia to Saba, the historians wanted to throw up. So without getting too much into the details, suffice it to say that more traditional routes are now preferred.

Edit: By the way, the screen shots simply don't do justice to Stefan25's new map graphics....and nor could they. When you first load up the next EB release, the visceral shock will take your breath away. Literally.

Thank you. I look forward to playing Saba

Hi all;

Thx Kambiz! Just wish I had someone around where I live to practice with.

And I wish I had someone around to learn me some Irish I'm always ready to help the comrades

I don't know if the specific names mentioned above are to be used (mostly just because I am not familiar with Iranian-type names or languages), but several months ago, while helping me with a project that I won't name here because I'm not sure if its been mentioned publicly before, Ario (Persian Cataphract) mentioned to me that he had a list of correct Pahlavan names that had not yet been implemented.

The name lists were actually made a long time ago, both for males and females, including some very obscure names. The basis behind the work on authentic names were the name charts made by Shapour Suren-Pahlav of CAIS. The issue has rather been the implementation, however we do not want to reveal exactly every aspect of the work behind the Pahlavân, so what you get to read is the tip of the iceberg =)

Oh you read correctly, there's much, much more in store for the Pahlavâ. In fact, I dare to even say that currently they are one of the most complete factions as we speak, and let's just say that I've got more in store for them

Thank you so mutch mates ,I've really excited
@The Persian Cataphract in Finglish

@All
I know there's a reward for the best mod (Maybe of the year !?). Anyone know its address on the web? And Has EB been nominated there ?

Thanks a lot everyone

@The Persian Cataphract in Finglish

I thought that was what a heavily American English-influenced dialect of Finnish (spoken in certain parts of the USA by finnish immigrants, though I'm not sure it exists anymore) was called?

I know there was a thread about this in the EB forum, but I didn't manage to track it down.

Is this the 0.9 preview? If so it looks really good.

it is a preview, its certainly not the preview, we probably couldnt fit everything in one preview..
