Europa barbarorum 2

[Jebivjetar]

...just wandering if someone have some information when EB2 is going to be released? few days ago i downloaded medieval 2 tw just for the mod. I've seen some previews of EB2 and i can not wait to play it

[Urg]

They haven't given any indication yet when EB2 will be released.

Sometimes they get upset when you ask that question...

[Julius Augustus]

I heard a while back on some EB 2 thread that it could be a year or more. Not sure if that is accurate though....

OOps... ok ok ok... i just ask.... i couldn't help myself...

[Raygereio]

Just remember the sacred mantra: "It's done when it's done and not a minute sooner"

In the future I’d refrain from asking questions like this; you see, any time an EB member sees a post like this, he has to roll his eyes and sigh exasperatedly.
And as we all now, any decent eye-rolling action takes up at least 5 minutes, that's 5 minute he could have been working on EBII!

Quickly! Delete this thread so we can play EB2 5 minutes earlier!!

I'd rather wait long till they are really done, bug-free and with all extras on and working.

The new version of Hegemony 268 BC is gonna be out before EB2 so i'll just play that while i wait.

Qft. It will come some day and it will be great, even greater than EB I, that's all I need to know. There are a lot not-as-great-but-still-entertaining mods and games out there, so we won't really need to worry how to kill the time.

[HunGeneral]

I quess Uni should keep me occupied until I can get MedII and EBII gets out.

[paullus]

The first release should be a short campaign, and depending on a few factors, it could be released in the next couple of months.

[Scud]

Syrian Wars tutorial campaign, RIGHT? :D

[DaciaJC]

I thought it was the Gaza Campaign...

[Scud]

Gaza...Syria, a small geographical error by only a few hundred miles on my behalf. In short, the tutorial campaign will be somewhere around the Levant according to rumours. :3

[Zarax]

The EB team recently hired 3D Realm's Duke Nukem Forever developers to help speeding up development.
Thanks to their expertise in fast game development we are now sure to release the finished product within the 21st century.

[Urg]

I think its a legitimate question, to ask when EB2 will be finished.

I mean, lets be honest...we all want to know the answer.

I suppose they just get tired of answering it...and when you are tired you get cranky, right?

[Tellos Athenaios]

Legitimate question, sure thing. Upset members because of the question? Nah. But saying "within 7 years, 3 months, 12 days and 8 hours' time" is as good an answer as any, so why not "within the next couple of rotations around the center of the galaxy; hopefully"...

A long time ago, a very precise & well-defined estimate for the upcoming release of EB was posted by The Mark. If you dig deep enough you should be able to find it; I just hope that we will be done before that time, though...

In simplier terms, there's so much work, concepting and testing of different ideas going on that trying to give an accurate estimate on anything than small defined parts of the mod would be not much different than guessing.

Previews can give you an idea of what has been more or less worked on in a semi-finished to finished shape, for the rest you might have better luck with specific questions rather than broad ones

*ahem* You shouldn't say things like that.

[miotas]

You're too suspicious. There are perfectly legitimate ways to download games.

[satalexton]

good lord, steam is a can of worms it's own right, I'm a die hard buyer of cds and dvds.

We are sure, though, that EB2 would be completed well before the Sun engulfs Earth....

[Jebivjetar]

Yeah, i've heard something about that and...

I always like humour that is actually realistically plausible.

I quite like steam since it allows me to buy games at those ridiculously cheap US prices. And with the whole recession thingie they have over there, the currency conversion doesn't even add that much to the price.

[tls5669]

LOL at the Troll part!!

Can't stand steam. But agree with the ridiculously cheap prices the amreicans have. Can't believe they are charging $110 for PS3 games and up to $130 for some of the newer packs of PC games in Australia. And they wonder why piracy is growing despite all their efforts at anti piracy tactics. Even the thread starter finds the urge to illegally download games. Although, it might be his fault that we are actually paying such huge prices now. Which came first, the chicken or the egg.

(Actually thats a stupid question, of course the egg came first. A chicken MUST hatch from an egg. But lots of animals can lay eggs. So by simple evolution a 'pre-chicken' could have laid an egg and a mutated chicken (modern chicken) hatched from it.)

[SwissBarbar]

Actually considering this timetable, EBII would have to be released NOW

[mountaingoat]

the "present" being some kind of alternate abstract time period not yet experienced since it is about 2 billion years after humans roamed the earth.

maybe someone brought this info back with some kind of flying car?

[Lysimachos]

Actually considering this timetable, EBII would have to be released NOW

That, my friend, is an artifact from the distant future, more than 2 billion years. I'm lucky I won't live to see the gruesome Troll-wars, but it is kind of sad, I also won't live to see EB II released

Edit: I guess Mountaingoat found the explanation
