Loving it

[polluxlm]

After playing Rome for a year I couldn't help noticing all the praise going around the forums for this game. Installed EB a couple of weeks ago, and I never looked back. This is no doubt the best game I've ever played. Exquisite work guys!

I'm 50 years into my usual Macedon campaign (after conquering Italy in my Roman game on Hard, jesus christ, they never rout!). I've had to micromanage my economy, disband armies to avoid going bankrupt 2 times, almost no auto-resolve due to the recruitment system. Even though I rule from Italy and Sicily to Antiocheia, I still get a fair share of challenge from the AS and Ptolemy. Getai is taken care of after giving me serious hardship in my homeland. Soon I guess Qhartadast and Sweboz will start to interfere.

This game has so much depth, so many units, balance, realism and challenge. It's near perfect. You guys seem to have thought about everything. I'm away at work now, so I haven't been able to play for over a week. 5 days left and I'm sitting here thinking about strategies. Damn, this can last forever.

Keep up the good work.

Ditto, here. CA ought to hire this design team. They made a good game, but it just can't compare with the masterpiece of Europa Barbarorum.

Bad idea.

If the EB team were working in a studio, they'd have a deadline.

Deadline = less time to make a realistic game

Realistic game = EB

Catch my drift?

Yeah but if the EB team had a studio, they would probably get paid, could stop working at their jobs and make EB their profession

so they would have had more time than now probably

I'd suggest quitting work, divorcing your wife, adopting out any children you may have, and selling your house. Suddenly your time pressures are gone! Then you can buy an expensive computer, a cheap caravan, and enough pot noodles to last you a lifetime (or a full campain for every faction, whichever comes first).

(I haven't told my wife about this grand plan just yet... )
