how many more previews are left??

**Blxz** · 07-25-2011, 10:21

I have to admit though that my favourite previews are the game mechanic topics. While faction previews are fun and good I found the early Stelae, the province preview, people of north africa and the government and colonisation explanations from the Romani previews to be the most entertaining.

The rest of the previews are very in depth and as a hobby historian only I find that I have a limited interest in massive walls of text that don't apply directly to my field of interest. So I like the balance that has been out there with some catering to both sides although I would definately welcome shorter, more gameplay focused previews interspersed with the faction previews.

Other than that, I guess raithspartan had a valid question for a low post count, EB forum newb. He didn't directly ask the age old question or act all self-righteous and I have to agree that the back of the car comment was a little unfair. We should be welcoming new people to the EB community rather than acting so insular.

Wasn't supposed to sound smug...so apologies if it did....just there are a lot of people champing at the bit including me...and comments along the lines of "when...." are becoming more frequent. Also post count does not equal number of visits to the boards ....my post copunt is low but I check the boards each day sometimes more than once. But apologies again if any offence was taken at what was an attempt at humour. :)

Gaesatoi in the back of the chariot: "Are we bare yet?"

I guess 13 previews left. If i am right I win a balloon.

No biggie, I was tired and grumpy when I posted it last night. I gotta agree my post you replied to was a bit weird when I read it back a second time.

I agree here. The EB community can be a touch hostile to newcomers who ask the same old questions.
