Asia ton Barbaron disscusion thread

[Malik of Sindh]

You mean youre a modeler?This is not far east mod its middle east mod,so its Greece-Bengal(includes Greece to Indian suncontinent).i don't care what your experience is,since we don't have ANYONE to do the units.Middle east was mainly hellenic at this time and I think only new units we would need would be Indian and some Persian ones,add a few more hellenic ones.So could you please help this mod?

[TWFanatic]

No...when I said "I would but" I meant "I would give suggestions but," not help with modeling. I am not a modeler. Sorry, I'd help if I was. Most of what I've done modding-wise is some basic texturing (I've created and reskinned a few units for vanilla RTW in my time) and countless hours spent screwing around in the EDU file of every mod I've ever had. It's an urge I cannot control - I'm never happy with what I have (see First Cohort/Phalanx/Char/Ele mod).

So I'm not sure if I'd be of any use. Let me know if there’s anything I can do, though.

[Malik of Sindh]

Oh,ok,you posted a few posts later,which were about modelers so I thought...

[Admetos]

We'd love it if you could help us Fanatic, we've only got a small team at the moment so we need all the help we can get.

[Malik of Sindh]

Yeah,I agree too,please join us TWFanatic.

[TWFanatic]

Oh,ok,you posted a few posts later,which were about modelers so I thought...

Yeah my bad, I was unclear.

Well what would you want me to do? I suppose I could be an EDU editter (unit statistician).

[Admetos]

Anything and everything you feel comfortable with.

[Malik of Sindh]

Ok, Edu guy works.Just change your title and were good to go.

[TWFanatic]

Time spent modding EB 1.0: too many hours to count.
Time spent playing EB 1.0 for fun: about 2 hours.
Joining a modding team for a game you have yet to really play: priceless.

Alright then. I'll do what I can.

[Pharnakes]

Good to have you TWFanatic.

[Hound of Ulster]

This looks like it could be fun.

Good luck.

[Malik of Sindh]

Added A map with faction positions in first post.

[Admetos]

The factions map:


The Admetos Special Edition:


Spot the difference.

[Pharnakes]

Very nice work, I'l send the hitman imdeiately (I haven't even looked at the maps yet but I can guess what the difference is)

[Roman_Man#3]

clearly, you've added the galatians in place of Cyrene

[Hound of Ulster]

What's the release date you guys are shooting for in terms of at least a beta?

[Admetos]

Why Pharnakes do you jump to conclusions without even looking at the map? But yes, I guess it was obvious what I'd done without even looking.

Still, I WILL get my Galatians eventually.

EDIT: We can't even speculate a release date at the moment, we haven't even started any modding yet. Of course, if we got some help it would be able to be released alot quicker...

We got a free slot remember?No need to scrap Cyrene.Oh,and Mauryan border should be a little bit higher.

[Malik of Sindh]

Tamils changed to pandya.if anyone is wondering its just a name change.

[The Persian Cataphract]

Atropatene needs something of an adjustment in size; Please refer to this map:

[Malik of Sindh]

Yes,some things need to be fixed but admetos is not online now.

[Malik of Sindh]

Updated first post "The team currentily needs" section.We are looking for a historian on India.Any historians on succesors are welcome too.

[KuKulzA]

I've been looking through the Kautilya's Arthashastra (1915 Shamasastry translation)...
it's like an ancient Indian text similar to Art of War

as a researcher... I should try to make construction-trees and soldier-types based off the historical evidence? Cause unless asked not to, I figure that's what I'm gonna do.

I think I've got some good ideas down and I'll post them up soon

[Pharnakes]

Yup, thats the idea, thanks very much for this Kulkulza

[Malik of Sindh]

In 1 month,Pharnakes is going to get his new computer,and he will start creating the map.So I guess we will soon get started.

[keravnos]

Great news. I love where you are going with this guys, do keep going!

[Malik of Sindh]

It great when we get encouragement from EB team.Thank you!

[Tellos Athenaios]

Yes,we are thinking of borrowing units from other mods,since we don't have any modelers or skinners.We will also borrowing chariots with 4 horses from FATW,they will only need a reskin.

Borrow?! You are gonna give them back again then?!

[Tellos Athenaios]

We got a free slot remember?No need to scrap Cyrene.Oh,and Mauryan border should be a little bit higher.

You've axed the Getai then?

[Pharnakes]

Yeah, barbarians are right out. Dunno why we call it Asia ton Barbaron, really.
