EB 3?

[a completely inoffensive name]

Can a game based around gunpowder weaponry be adapted for melee combat?

empire has melee combat units, archers, even elephants! so land units are ready but to adapt navy is the problem for modding
the only problem city sieges

What a coincedence I was just proposing some factions for EB IV.

Which no doubt will be revealed under your Occultus sig.

it may be a bit early, but i propose Bartix to be in EB3 =P

Bartix IS EBIII!

[Silence Hunter]

IMHO Bartix should start as a horde, ravage the known world, settle somewhere in Sibir only to be awakened by a player faction for a late game challenge.

I think that while they have melee combat, it is too far from the fighting of antiquity to be relevent, are there any units in the game with shields? I haven't played any eastern factions so I don't know. There are certain things that an antiquity game needs and unless this game has no modding restrictions I don't see how it could be done.

I think the E:TW engine is perfect for a Han Dynasty Mod. Crossbow warfare aglore!

PREPARE FOR EBIII: BARTIX INVASION!

E:TW isn't really suited for classical warfare. Many of the old mechanics like fighting to the death, reenforcements and other things have been completely stripped away(Move Fire, Phalanx, etc). Honestly, I think that Kingdoms is probably the msot feature complete TW game.

That being said, ETW might work well for a WWI-Modern Warfare mod or a Warhamme 40K mod(cover, destructable cover, and other stuff is already there.)

I say wait for EB II, enjoy it and when Rome II Total War is out (with ships ;-) ), we start to think about EB III
