Any sample of your work please?
don't have any place that i can upload them, but, i'll look for one soon,
Edit: As i told you, my expertise was on A/P textures, so don't go looking for a face nowhere, i might create patterns for the shields, i might be able to work with faces, but IDK, i trust myself that i can.
~Jirisys
you can... but its not required for any of the sites i listed. i think (i could be wrong) that everything exept megaupload is free to register to

The last 5 images (the planes and the bird) were all created by me, as i told you work with painting, not that much faces , but i can help, (i worked with faces on SWBFII, but never got that much progress, i abandoned the modding because of scripting, sometyhing i suck at) but anyway hope i can help
I know the bightness is horrid, but i will take some screenshots (except of the ATR cause i don't have FS9 anymore) if you would like to see better
~Jirisys
if i'm in, please post here, i check this thread more times than i do myh PMs lol, of course that the PM notification is displayed as soon as you log in , well anyway, am i in or not , or are you still deciding, please notify, thank you

How much help is needed for voice files? Are these being ported over from EB1, or redone? I helped do some recording and voice editing for Greek in EB1. I teach Greek at the college level, and I was a unit leader in the infantry. Both of these are helpful experiences for creating authentic voice files for the battlefield.

Please have a bit of patience, we don't decide lightly on who gets into the team. So stay put, we are currently analyzing your case and will let you kn ow the second we decide. It would help if you had skins on human beings rather than machines, such as a face or an armour or something else.
Currently we are porting the voicemods to EB-II. However, we would need some help with the germanic voice mod, but you are offering help for the greek voicemod, for which we have enough samples.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Here ya go! i did that on 20 mins on phtoshop, it's a campanian cavalry, i changed the shield design, i added hand and leg hair, a pale beard and moustache, different skirt design, longer hair, lol too much to put here! I'll take a screen to this texture, i'll post it later.
Hope it works, (remember i did this on 20 mins, so if i make osmething on days, that will be something quite different)
Please comment about (all the people that get in here)
Thank you
~Jirisys
Enjoy the screens!! (btw, it CTD when i was playing for no reason, it was custom battle, but i plan to leave the original EB texture installed :P)

Hope you like the shield design, that was my focus

I dunno whether it is necessary, but as a local historian with a keen interest in prehistory and prehistoric archeology. I believe I probably have something to contribute with concerning Germanic factions, as does Cmacq BTW. I can only speak for myself, but I would quite like to contribute- even if it is merely giving a critical review of finished material. So if my small amount of knowledge can be of use, please let me know.

I know you guys probably have plenty of historians, but if you need one more I'm up for it. I don't have any computer programming skills (hence why I'm volunteering for the research end of the project), but I'm a classics major in college (junior right now). I'm pretty proficient in Latin and in the process of learning Greek. Let me know if there's any way I can help. -M

Could Europa Barbarorum use any researchers specializing in ancient societies (particularly Greece and Roma)?
The best way to audition as an historian is to post some awesome public threads that everyone agrees are fantastic. Pick your own topic, as long as it's something that we haven't already covered- you can be sure, for example, that we're pretty well up on Roman political offices. We're not only looking for knowledge, but also someone who is proactive, disciplined, self-motivated and creative- so that means that if we have to tell you what to do, you're not the one for us.
The other thing is that you have to get familiar with modding at least the text files. If you can't do that, there's not much you can do to help us. Practise on your EB1 build- as long as you backup the files, there's nothing that can go wrong. Try rewriting all the faction descriptions and character biographies just to see how they come up in game- something like that. It's not a job that we need doing, but it will familiarize you with the process.
Here are some suggestions for areas to look into: Iberia, the Steppes, the Caucasus region. Cutandpaste from wikipedia won't really impress us.
οἵη περ φύλλων γενεὴ τοίη δὲ καὶ ἀνδρῶν.
Even as are the generations of leaves, such are the lives of men.

*Hint* Iberia would particularly impress us *Hint*
To give a bit of an idea of what Oudysseos means, I'll post a few links:
Kyrene - A case for a new faction (Phalanx300)
The Kingdom of the Cimmerian Bosporus - The Case for a new faction (oudysseos)
Ilergetes - A case for a new faction (Bucefal)
And finally my own: Syrakousai - A case for a new faction
It's not at all certain that these factions will be in, but now you have some idea of how it works.

This space intentionally left blank.
Note that it of course isn't new provinces we are looking for. What we need is someone who is willing to do work and is capable at historical research and has enough sources to come by. Being able to implent stuff in the game is a welcome bonus, but not a real necessity.
Some question I'd like to ask:
What kind of sources do you have acces to? (university library? Jstor and similar e-databases? ...) Did you study or are studying history, archeology,...? Both aren't requirements, but they do help. :)
Thank you guys, and for sources I have Jstor, and sources that mainly concern themselves with Rome or Greece, i.e. Frier and McGinn A Casebook on Roman Family Law, J.A. Crook Roman Law and Society, David Johnston Roman Law in Context etc etc.
I will start trying to rewrite faction descriptions, and be back with something if I suceed.
While playing EB 1, I noticed a few typos. Since I can't mod, and my historical knowledge is not as extensive as the rest of yours, I offer myself as a proofreader. I know English isn't everyone's first language, and everyone makes mistakes, so I think this is something I can do to help out.

Along with JStor, I've got access to my college library, which has a very well-equipped Classics section and the Bodleian Library as well (in short, basically everything that's ever been written in English). My area of study is Classics, with a focus on the historical side of things. Regrettably, I have no experience with Archaeology.Some question I'd like to ask:
What kind of sources do you have acces to? (university library? Jstor and similar e-databases? ...) Did you study or are studying history, archeology,...? Both aren't requirements, but they do help. :)
I should warn though that I'm not going to have a whole lot of time on my hands to do research, as I'm going to have quite a lot to do for my classes this term. At best, I could probably serve as a go-between for one of the EB researchers, picking up and copying texts that they need. -M

Hi Mulceber, I'd love to visit the Bodleian. If you'd like to be involved, I think Oudysseos' suggestion is the way to go. Pick out a helpful topic that piques your interest, and do some sort of researched write-up here in the EBII forum. We want to make sure we get historians who 1) can help us with the area where we need the most help, and 2) can provide good help. I'm excited to see what you can do. Do you have ideas of a sort of mini-project you might take on?

Hi everybody,
I'd like to help the EBII team. Maybe I could mostly help the modders if I give some information about Archaeology and Ancient Art. Now I'm studying for a specialization in these cultural areas and I can have the access of my university library and its Geographical-Historical-Artistical department.
I have a basic skill about the use of Photoshop and Gimp (I had to use them for my thesis and for some exams, but I actually my level is only basic), and besides I could make myself useful for audio editing (by using Soundforge and Acid Pro).
If you believe I could be useful don't hesitate to contact me. For informations view my profile.

([...]on the black earth the most beautiful thing remains, I say, whatsoever a person loves) (Sappho, part of fragm. 16)
I've heard somewhere that you guys need stuff for Pahlava and that region. I'm studying History (fifth semester), and currently attending a course on "Middle Persian/Parthian Epigraphy" at Kiel university. Also, I'm somewhat literate in modern Farsi (and Classical Latin). I'd like to know if I can be of any help to the team, however it'd be good if I knew concretely what kind of information you need, or which source (in other words, I'd need instructions).
