Website Updated (like you didn't know)

[Krusader]

Okay the website has been updated.

The Eleutheroi unit pages has MANY new units and each faction has at least received two new units or reskins. (well except Sauromatae)

The Galleries have also been updated a bit, most notably the Artwork one.

The Downloads section will be updated in the future even more, with the links from where you can download 1.0, plus game guides (a few images and some PDFs you will love), misc stuff (like the Recruitment Viewer which is still being made) and two new wallpapers have been added to the Artwork section.

The maps have not been updated for the website yet, but will be done soon.

However, something VERY important:

Apparently the browsers do not detect the correct charset the website is using (8859-1 for you tech savvy).
If you see unit names with ? or other strange symbols, then change the Character Encoding in your browser.

In Firefox you go to View --> Character Encoding --> and select Western (ISO-8859-1)

In Internet Explorer it is View --> Encoding --> Western (ISO) (or something like that. Internet Explorer on my computer is in Norwegian. And no, it's not my default browser, Firefox is, but ever tried to remove IE without doing something drastic?)

Don't know for Opera, but probably something similar.

[Sakkura]

My character encoding is already set to western ISO 8859-1 but I still see ??s.

Edit: There seem to be less of them now that I go through the pages again. Only these are left with ??s:

Shuban-� Fradakhshana (Eastern Slingers)
Er�namesh ana-Arabim (East Coast Levies)

There were definitely a LOT more ??s the first time I checked the pages.

[Karo]

I got the same problem here.

Edit: it works now

[Krusader]

I need a punching bag...

On my Firefox (2.0.0.7) when I switch from Unicode to ISO 8859-1 I can see the special characters...if anyone got any ideas, I'm all ears.

EDIT: Aha, thanks guys. Still, charsets is fubar.

[Sakkura]

Hmm, looks like my browser (FF 2.0.0.7) automatically switches to Unicode when I enter some of the pages. Strange.

[shlin28]

Wow, nice artwork!

Edit: W00t! Epierus got Hypaspistai now!

[Sarkiss]

Don't use anything but Unicode & make sure to use a font containing them too. (Windows convert tables don't work that well...)

[Megalos]

Wow guys! Some seriously sexy units there!


Really well done! I can't wait!


I checked the gallery page for some new screenies aswell, I thought maybe Abou had been abit cheeky and snuck some on there, but alas no...a heads-up to those who have entered screenie comps of late however, two of my screenies from recent competions were there (so that makes me happy), perhaps some of your own pics got up there too?



Anyhow, from those who do the artwork through to those who help with tech issues in-game and on the forum, all your efforts are vital to the success of this mod (new game), you all deserve all the praise you shall recieve! Thanks again fellas for all your hard work.

[The Celt]

Wow beautiful units guys! It just amazes me that all these talented folks will work so hard on a mod like this for free. I sometimes have to slap myself to be sure I'm not dreaming...

[Bootsiuv]

That's why all of the fans should donate to help pay for servers and webspace, etc. when they ask for it.

They deserve it, considering EB rules many of our lives. I know I find myself thinking of KH strategy (or whatever) when I'm at work, shopping, driving....hmmm, maybe I play this game too much.

I need EBA... Europa Barbarorum Anonymous.

[HFox]

Yes I admit it....I've hit [CTRL] F5 a few times now.........

[Watchman]

EB is officially made of awesome and win. The slightly annoying issue with the charsets nonwithstanding.

Also, I remember back in the day the Pontic intro text talking about "axes of the interior"; leave it to the team to by far exceed my expectations regarding what lay behind that... damn, but the whole Pontus Euxine region seems to be rotten with guys sporting fancy hats, sharp axes and copious amounts of bad attitude. Me like.

[Bootsiuv]

Heh, 113 viewing....the team probably has a thread in the dev forums where they just comment on our misery.

[bovi]

What misery? This is supposed to be a happy occasion!

[Bootsiuv]

I was joking. Of course, it's happy, that's why I spend so much time here.

[antiochus epiphanes]

Wow, nice artwork!

Edit: W00t! Epierus got Hypaspistai now!

yay! i see units that i skined in there woohoo!

[globobo lord of the bones]

the site is very cool too ! thanks eb team !

[Respenus]

the site is very cool too ! thanks eb team !

Burn the Heretic! Kill the Mutant! Purge the Unclean!

I'm no admin, but if you NECRO one more thread with pointless posts, I swear on whatever your believe in to come and

[Sakkura]

Relax, it's only a few weeks old after all.

[Respenus]

Relax, it's only a few weeks old after all.

One month my friend, one month! His posting is disrupting the normal working of this forums, making it difficult to separate new and useful threads for useless ones.

Don't worry, I've already (meaning finally, should have done it yesterday) informed two of the moderators, hopefully they can do something.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Complimenting Krusader (webmaster) and the website is entirely fine, any day of the year!! Thread necromancy forgiven!!

[Pharnakes]

Yeah I really don't see what every one is getting so excited about, afterall, he hasn't been rude or flamed anyone. Granted it seems rather strange he should only choose to post in threads that are old, but....


Its not doing any harm.

[blacksnail]

People are frustrated because he seems to be attempting to build his post count with short comments in a ton of threads.

[konny]

Yeah I really don't see what every one is getting so excited about, afterall, he hasn't been rude or flamed anyone.

The intention is that the members will start flamming each other in the comments on that behaviour.

Who cares about the post count anyway?

A novice was once curious about the nature of the Post Count. He approached the Zen master and asked, "Zen master, what is the nature of the Post Count?"
"The Post Count is as a road," replied the Zen master. "You must travel the road to reach your destination, and some may travel longer roads than others. But do not judge the person at your door by the length of the road he has travelled to reach you."
And the novice was Enlightened.

[Pharnakes]

Brilliant, Sakkura

[macsen rufus]

EDIT: double, oops...

[macsen rufus]

Well, I for one welcome our necromantic overlords, as I had managed to go a whole month without realising the site had been updated (cursed be the cache!)

Re: Website Updated (like you didn't know)

THAT's the bit that got me - "No, I didn't," I thought

Useful is as useful does, and all that

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I've decided to delete all pointless bumps for threads more than a week old. Ones like this with additional comments, I will leave.
