Unique cities and wonders

[olly]

Hello

I lurk a lot and post rarely but I just have a couple of questions about your excellent mod.

First off I remember from the old RTR forums many a year ago people saying that EB had some historically accurate cities that had been made (in particular the blue gates of Babylon although it is named differently in your mod and I am at work so cannot check what it is called). I have checked this out (only really rememberd last night) and that does not seem to be the case. Was this just a rumour?

Also how can you get custom battles at the seven wonders of the world? They seem to locked when I try and would rather not have to complete a campaign to unlock them as I usually quit a campaign once I think I cannot be possibly defeated.

Anyway, a marvellous mod. Thank you for your effort.

About the gates of Babylon, I think someone mixed up EB with Rise Of Persia, which has those, or at least has them in the trailer. The city of Babylon itself will make its EB debut in the next version, so we'll see. Probably a rumour.

The second question, there shouldn't be any locked wonders in custom battle. If you don't see a huge list of "wonder battlegrounds", including the stonehenge and the royal tombs of Macedonia, then something is screwed up. If you see those, the seven wonders, or at least most of them, should be in that list.

Im quite sure that in EB the gates of Babylon are a special thing, you know with the stonehenge on the map.

It's just the gardens.

the gates of babylon are a stratmap building, not a battlemap building. The gardens are a battlemap building but not a strat map building. Confusing, huh?

is there a tentative release date for the next version of EB?

About the middle of next sometime, is the best we can do at the moment, though it may be sooner.

It'll be a little delayed, so it may be the end of the next sometime, or the start of the one after that.
