Preview: The People of North Africa

[RawPower]

Outstanding!!

[J.R.M]

As always.. AWESOME!!!!!

i almost had a heart attack when i saw this

[Meneldil]

Glad to know you're using KE and Bwian's work. EB wouldn't have been EB without chariots.

The units look great, and so does the population system.

[athanaric]

Awesome. More chariots for me to kill in the future...

[Apraxiteles]

Yes! This means more opportunities for chariot vs. elephant battles. There is nothing I've found in EB1 yet that causes as much raw chaos and death.

[Sarkiss]

Foot (and Co) stop tormenting us!

awesome stuff, as always. the units are very pretty

[penguinking]

Will there be more provinces in North Africa?

[Bucefalo]

Just came to my mind: if there is one "populace" building in each settlement, does that means that there will be like 199 different kind of "populace buildings"? or will some of them be repeated to similar regions?

[A Very Super Market]

I suppose they would have as many cultures that existed. I don't think there is a building limit, is there?

In EB1, the rebel settlements describe their culture in brackets, so I guess they'll just be using those.

[Foot]

Video is up.

[Phalanx300]

Awesome video! weren't the Hoplites in EB2 going to use the shieldwall formation though? (I liked the 8 men deep ranks though!)

[a completely inoffensive name]

I have always wondered Foot, what settings are used when you record these preview videos?

[Ibrahim]

AWESOME

what can I say? this has blown my mind beyond all expectation, having just now found it.

[BerkeleyBoi]

That video was pretty awesome, though I wish you guys let us see more of the battle...

[Ludens]

Foot (and Co) stop tormenting us!

Do you mean the team should stop giving previews?

[Eastern Foot-Rocker]

Its a awesome system with the new recruitment buildings. I hope it makes gameplay more challenging. All I can say is: SIEG, SIEG, HURRA! SUPERGEIL!

[/Bean\]

Nice stuff, guys.

We seem to be getting a sudden increase in previews and stuff. Is work on EBII really getting on, or do you happen to just be finishing and releasing stuff around the same time?

[antisocialmunky]

Great preview. I take it with this video that the Gaza Campaign isn't such a high priority anymore. Oh well, keep up the good work!

PS: Just watched the video. Lol, whoever put it together has been studying the Micheal Bay school of ridiculous camera movement.

[Phalanx300]

From Twitter the Gaza campaign is finished but just needs fine tuning and alot of testing. For me the fact that they work on non Gaza units means the Gaza units are already completed.

Gaza is done? yess!!!, my first taste of EBII is near! The movie is brillian though the shields are cutting into the horse's neck. But I am fine, everything (almost) is still a WIP.

[antisocialmunky]

*explodes*

Woohooo. Especially because I jsut tested a 55,000 man battle in MTW @ 10 FPS. Will be awesome to see 1:1 - 1:4 battles. :)

Would you be releasing the Gaza campaign prematurely?

[-Praetor-]

Would you be releasing the Gaza campaign prematurely?

OMG you're right! We should delay it long enough to comply with our EB timetable...

[Phalanx300]

Well not done, but guessing from Twitter I think it can be said that the map and units are done.

[Tellos Athenaios]

OMG you're right! We should delay it long enough to comply with our EB timetable...

Don't worry. I can take care of that... Or else my Internet connection will.

[Reno Melitensis]

Great one EB team, may Jupiter be praised. EB II is going to be a great great mod.

Cheers.

[/Bean\]

I just know from my bad luck EBII is going to come out while I'm at Uni...which would drastically hamper my studies...(of course no mention of I would have to play it less or manage my time well. Good God, no. Wouldn't that be stupid...)

[Andy1984]

Marvellous preview. Keep up the good work

[Chris1959]

Visually stunning, no other words for it

And did I really see other members of the unit reflected in the elephant towers bronze shield!

I can only think of the hours I used to spend painting figures to wargame with.

The upside of the time it will take to complete EBII is I can save up for a computer to do it justice, any advice of best configuration?
