Thoughts on EB 1.0

[mlc82]

I must have missed the joke as well, cause that first post here had me terrified... "Streamlined to appeal to a wider audience" has been the death knell of most of my favorite game series (Deus Ex, Ghost Recon, Elder Scrolls, most likely Fallout next). I was honestly almost ready to cry :(



I can't wait for version 1.0, I will not be doing anything besides playing EB the first week that's out!

I just want to add this note, due to Zaknafien's response to my comment on not being crazy about the Augustan Legionaries plumed helmets. (i.e: 'Sorry, but that's how they were, and that's how they'll be in EB')

I realise there have been some past problems on the EB forum regarding trolls and people who have flamed the team for the changes to units to make them more historical. I am not one of those people. I say that I am not crazy about the plumed helmets, but if they're based on historical, archeological facts, they're fine by me, and won't prevent me from loving EB any less, and in fact I would probably be a bit dissapointed if they weren't included now!

The only reason why I'm reluctant to the new image is that I'm still getting over the idea I have in my head of the 'Lorica Segmentata Legionary' which I accepted and absorbed since I was, well, like 7.

I'm just the nit-picky kind, but please, don't think that this means I'll make mountains out of molehills. I love EB, and I think that what the team is doing is nothing short of magnificent work. You know a helluva lot more than me when it comes to making a mod, and I know that what you show on EB is probably as close to the truth as one can get with regards to the period. That's why I play EB to begin with: To get as close to the truth of the period as I can.

So, in short, don't get the wrong idea of me. I'm just a natural whiner and nit-picker, but I really do love the mod and wouldn't change a thing about it, or about what's to come. I continue to look forwad to v 1.0

Keep the great work, EB!
