Changes to factions in the next version

**Fraekae** · 09-11-2007, 11:28

Which factions will change most and which factions will change the least in the next EB version? I am asking this because I want to start a new campaign but do not want to play a campaign with a faction only to see that it is much cooler in the new version. I know that Pahlava and Hayasadan will get major changes, so even though I want to play them I will leave them to the next version. The factions I am particularly interested in are the Getai, Sabyn, Sauromatae, Koinon Hellenon and Baktria as I would want to start a campaign with one of these. Can someone tell me if there are some really cool changes in some of these that would justify waiting for the next version?

I understand if the team is reluctant to answer this kind of question as many things in the new version will probably change before it is released, but if I play a faction in this EB version, I will probably never play it on the new one, as I simply do not have the time to play multiple campaigns with the same faction if I ever want to play with all interesting factions. As it is, I do not think I will ever have time to play with all the factions that I would like.

P.S. I am not asking what the particular changes are, even if that would be interesting to know. Simply how much the factions will change/remain the same.

Yes. Take a look at the previews.

I keep forgetting EB is still a beta product!
What is the next version, how close is it to becoming an official, fully developed version, and.. well, a rather expected question I suppose, when am I getting it?
I can only hope it is a patchable version!

EB is not a beta version. Do not get confused with our version numbering. 0.81aV2 is certainly playable, and more stable than most mods well into their 2.x numbers.

It ain't really.

What is the next version,

EB

how close is it to becoming an official, fully developed version,

EB is an open -ended system, it will never be fully developed.

and.. well, a rather expected question I suppose, when am I getting it?

Round about the same time as other people.

I can only hope it is a patchable version!

It will be a full install, there will be no patch for 0.81a v2.

Fraekae's question is somewhat a concern for me too.

Thanks for clarifying that EB is an open-ended project, the present state is quite satisfying, and I'm most enjoying my Punic campaign, but I'm interested too in what main changes are planned as far as factions are concerned

They must be going through some rough patches in the EB factory right now. Foot is rather...gruff today. Gruffer than normal, if that's possible. Hmm. This does not bode well for 0.9...
