EB 1.0: Teaser 1

[Foot]

Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans.

We are so very close to a new public release of EB, that we can barely contain it behind closed doors. We are all very excited about bringing you the best, and we hope that this teaser, and the ones to follow, will give you that same sense of excitement.

Yes, it is true. Europa Barbarorum 1.0 is coming.

Thanks goes to Kampfkrebs for the great teaser trailer. To Atilius and The_Mark for their scripting work on the Allied Province Rulers, to BozosLiveHere for his work on traits for the same project, and to Teleklos Archelaou for the well written paragraph below.

Teaser Trailer: The Horsemen Have Come
Kampfkrebs has been working diligently on a new line of videos for faction intros. We wanted to show off his talent as soon as possible. So here is the first of a number of teaser trailers he has made for us.

You can watch on Youtube, or you can download a high quality version from our ftp.


Allied Province Rulers:
For all factions in the game, a type4 government is essentially that of an allied state who has ceded over a large degree of their own autonomy to you and your faction after a major defeat at your hands. They have felt like just another province in some respects, until now. Now, when you conquer a territory and build a type4 government there, an allied ruler or puppet ruler will be spawned and will enter the city. He will have a local bodyguard and will have no mobility - he is to remain inside the city. As this is an allied territory, placing your own characters in the city will be taken as a sign of further aggression by the local populace and there may be riots. It is up to you whether or not you will control the city at that point or put it on automanage and let it tend to its own affairs. Keeping local troops stationed there is advisable, and having the city, your "ally", supply your own army with troops for your campaigns would also be a logical result of the arrangement.

We hope you have enjoyed this teaser for the next release of Europa Barbarorum.

That's a pretty sweet system. Is there any way to remove the client ruler once he's established (by changing the government or something?)?

[Remco]

It is good to see EB 1.0 coming closer. I am wondering what other surprises you guys have for us.

[Charge]

Client ruler is a damn funny thing

[Radier]

Cool!

Can't wait for the release.

Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans.

Yes, it is true. Europa Barbarorum 1.0 is coming.

Waiting for it to happen for so long... Never played any pre-release not to spoil my fun.

Who said autumn was the irredeemable season.....???? It will be more like

[The Wicked]

Yes, it is true. Europa Barbarorum 1.0 is coming.

Excellent !!!!!!!

[I of the Storm]

Wonderful news! That client ruler thing is a great idea!

If you'll excuse me now, I'm going to have a heart attack out of excitement...

You can destroy the government, but he'll stay until he dies (or until you create a new gov4, I think, at which point a new one is put in charge). You may want to keep someone close to take over the leadership if you choose to overthrow his government.

[Charge]

How long we need to wait? Month?

Apologies for my constant questioning, but what happens should there be a rebellion with the governor being kicked out? Can he be moved back in?

I like the idea of the system. It makes allied provinces far more distinct.

[bovi]

No, I think you'll have to retake the settlement and rebuild a gov4 then.

[The_Mark]

Actually, provided the traiting supports it, you can move the old ruler back and just repair/rebuild the govt with the old ruler.

[Lysander13]

Brilliant idea with the client ruler system. Nice teaser video as well. Will every faction get an intro video as of the next realease then?

[bovi]

There is no trigger to give back movement to an ousted client ruler, sorry.

Just wait a bit for the suprise, it wont take that long anymore (well, at least we will release it before 2009).

Cruelest thing since khelvan's EB is cancelled hoax.

Do take your time ex-mates.

Well thats all right then, you had me worried it might be awhile.

Nice idea this new governer setup. Can he sally out if besieged, I presume so?

So did I miss something, I thought that v0.9 was the next release, not that I'm complaining. Not long now until another 2-3 month epic campaign then eh!

[Charge]

(well, at least we will release it before 2009)

What?? very close you say? before 2008 is acceptable date, but 2009

[Kampfkrebs]

What?? very close you say? before 2008 is acceptable date, but 2009

Gotcha :p only joking, my beloved fans. Just wait a bit and see whats gonna happen. And now Im stealing myself out of this thread, before you rip me into pieces or something

[Hooahguy]

man, you people let me down! i thought it was gonna be EB v.9, so the last version could be v1.0!!!! man i am so disappointed!

jk!!! this EB is gonna be great! i cant wait for it! nice teaser, btw!

[Maeran]

So is there a chance that if the puppet ruler has disloyal traits, he might rebel with the entire province?

It's a great idea to have them, it also frees up my valuable FMs to go fight like they should.

[bovi]

In this release, there are no triggers that cause them to be particularly disloyal. We may create all sorts of special features for client rulers in a later release though, and disloyalty is hardly the most far fetched of those .

Bah!! Me hates surprises..I prefer educated anticipation.
Great work on the intro video friend.

[TWFanatic]

Grrrr I can't wait to play this. Any EB members taking bribes?

Video was rather short btw. Good, but I felt it could have been longer and more epic; it just wasn't worthy of EB.

Question: How do you crop videos?

[Foot]

Its a teaser video! If we were going to waste our time on full-length epic movies for a teaser you would never get to play EB. Just you wait till you see the first intro.

[Hooahguy]

is there gonna be a romani intro? if there is can we PLEASE see it?

[sgsandor]

3 words....I want IT!

[Hooahguy]

cant wait for the intros!
