First Impressions of EB 1.0?

Good grief, move on people. This is about first impressions of EB 1.0.

Do you people not understand English? Continue arguing about religion or something that doesn't relate to this topic and you'll no longer have access to this subforum.

I thought we had just agreed to let it go, and thus already ended the argument?

Regardless, I just noticed something about 1.0 during my Epeiros campaign that I'd like to ask a question about: It seems that the Granaries (the first level of them, at least) don't actually increase your population growth, despite claims on the "Building Card". Is this intentional, accidental, or is there some "hidden" benefit of a granary that doesn't appear?

Cheers.

This is probably due to the fact you have a building that gives negative population growth. Negative bonuses can only cancel out possitive bonuses and not go below 0.

Nothing's changed. Good to see you at your benevolent best there Dave.

On a more positive note, congratulations to the team. Generally the game has been improved significantly from previous versions.

I do however have some problems with accuracy which I will post in detail when I get the chance. Disapointing considering the whole.

Just remember to be polite and maybe even squeeze in a few jokes to lighten the mood. Try to give a solution to the problem, but don't demand it. If those steps are followed, we might get through this without the need for peacekeepers.

Thank you for your cooperation!

.. will do.

mine also runs incredibly smooth, always has. I always wonder why some folks have such problems.

You do realize you can switch off the "watch AI moves" part, right?

You haven't played vanilla (or any mod without script) recently. The vanilla Ai turn is a matter of seconds (~1-5) while the eb ai turn is near 1 minute (~30 seconds to 1 minutes and if you catch the eleutheori on an bad turn it takes even longer).

Play a bit FATW (or just eb without the script) and you will notice that EB ai turns take a damn large amount of time compared to any other tw game.

After you have played it for a while you won't notice the long ai turns any more, but i can assure you that they are there.

Hello

Finally had time for a couple of hours play last night.

Again an excellent mod, installed easily, no CTD's or bugs, and no slower then the 0.8 version I had before.

Had a go as KH and instantly got Athens nicked from me by Macedon but thanks to Epiros eating up a lot of their army I am stabilising a bit now and pushing them back.

Not sure what to make of the sea at the moment but then again I have been used to the same old blue for a couple of years now!

Thank you very much for another excellent mod. Really enjoying it.

My first impression was simply "wow!". There's so many changes to the already great previous release. But I still haven't started a campaign yet: all the marvellous additions to most of the factions make it too hard for me to choose

Thank you EB team for giving me this luxury problem and be assured your hard work is very much appreciated!

Fought my first battle as Rome against a rebel town, up north,stacked full of gauls. Had my entire army annihilated.

Damn naked warriors are just sooooo hard to kill. That, and the other gauls all appearing in stacks of 240 just adds to the pain.

[Strategos Alexandros]

The campaign map textures and loading screen artwork are great. The AI turn and campaign map is laggy but that could just be my slow computer. I love the new units, especially the Cordinau Orca and Karian warband.

[LusitanianWolf]

Greats congrats to the EB team!!!!
I've instaled it yesterday and I couldnt leave it before 4am!!!!
It took lots of time to do it tought (I was thinking it wasnt instaling, nearly gived up) but it worthed!!!!

[Conradus]

I've started some campaigns this weekend with EB 1.0 and love it. First I united the tribes as the Sweboz, and loved all the new units, new traits, the celtic fortesses (damn those were hard battles)...
In a short Bactrian campaign I already enjoyed the client rulers and the new bactrian units.

Now I'm conquering the Seleucid Empire as Ptolemaioi and like the new units/mercenaries in the Levant.
And my computer 's finally fast enough to play EB!

[Oleander Ardens]

WOW

So far, so very nice

Of coursed I loved the regional Rhaetian units, very nice skins... but now back to playing

Cheers
