The EB II Help Required Thread

**TheOmegaWalrus** · 05-01-2008, 02:05

Hi there, I'd like to try for traiter.

I've put out a mod for RTW:Rome Total Realism called Crowley's Academy. The only evidence of it's existance that the forum hasn't swallowed is . But it basically assigned management traits to generals stationed in citys with academies, along with a couple other common sense fixes to the trait system. I understand MTW2 has a couple of new twists to it compaired to RTW, but am eager to both learn and exploit them :)

I'm also a senior at UH, majoring in both history and anthropology. My interests lie inside of this time period, so I won't be going in totally blind.

So let me know if you can use me

Hi all,

I've been a fan of EB for a while now and I loved the historical aspect of the game. I have a minor in classical studies with focuses on the Greek, Roman and Trojan periods. I know the Greeks and Romans are probably the two factions that you have the most subject matter experts in, but if you need one more, I would be willing to help out. Also, I can help to do research and the like, I do have a lot of old historical books. I will also try to find more out about the other factions. I do have some knowledge of the Epirote, Carthaginian, Gallic, and Ptolemaic (I loved that you changed the name of Egypt to this, as it had started to have been discussed that the later "Egyptian" leaders like Cleopatra might have had very distinct Greek attributes due to her lineage) factions.

Also, I do draw quite a bit, not professionally like others here, but it's been a hobby of mine for a while. Unfortunately, not being a professional, I don't know all the great computer tricks to make the drawings look better, but i do shade and color some of my better drawings. Another, probable detraction, is that I draw more in the manga/anime style, so, it may not be what you would be looking for as concept art as I've seen the style that's used in the previous EBs.

One last note, I am currently travelling through Europe (already visited London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin) and am in Athens currently. If there is anything from the museums you would like me to look at and take pictures of, let me know and I'll do my best to get these to you guys. I am also going to Molyvos on Lesvos and Florence and Rome before returning to the States, so, if there is anything from those areas you would need references from, let me know and I'll try to get the pictures and references from there also. I will be visiting a lot of museums while I'm in these areas, so, it'll probably jive with what I'm going to be doing anyway.

Lastly, I wouldn't mind doing editing work on the large amount of text that you guys have in the game from unit cards to script based event cards. If you need any more help with that (it seems like you have a lot already), I'd be willing to help in that department also. I've written a lot of reports (I do a lot of data analysis and economic analysis), so I'm pretty good and editing, revising and tweaking things to make them more appealing to the end user.

If none of this is useful to you guys (as I know you guys need skinners and such, which I've never done, although I have a natural affinity for computers and programs), it's okay too. I'd just thought I'd throw my hat into the ring to help out with the game as much as possible, so we can all see it that much faster. I really can't wait to play a ancient world based game on the M2TW engine. My first thought in playing M2TW was, "I wonder if they're going to remake RTW with these graphics and game tweaks."

Either way, kudos to you guys for tackling this and working so hard on it. Best of luck and I, with everyone else, will be waiting anxiously for it's release.

Going in Athens archaeological museum is a very enlighting experience. If you happen to take some pics along the way we wouldn't mind, of course!

Thing is, it would be a great thing for you to have those pics, either you become an EB member or not. We are always on the lookout for concept unit artists so please post a drawing of an EB unit.

Hey Keravnos,

Yeah, I really like the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. It has been one of my favorite places, as well as the Pnyx and Lycabettus Hill. I'm going to try to go out to the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus, I hear they have some of the old bronze statues that were found in an underwater excavation.

Also, I'm going to draw a picture of a Spartan warrior with Pilos helm (I took some pictures of the Pilos helm they had at the museum), and use the references from the Thermopylae spear/arrow point exhibit to draw the hoplite. I'll send it to you when I'm done. It won't be colored, since I don't have any of my coloring pencils here, but it'll give you a general idea of my drawing style.

Thanks for the response. I'm off to Delphi tomorrow, I can't wait!

Kervanos asked me to help out with some units so I thought it would be polite and 'check in'. I have a little bit of experience with the M2TW engine.

little bit of experience he says... 150+ units worth of it for Broken Crescent.
