What are the main things you want to see fixed from EB1 in EB2???

Wow. I didn't want my innocent post at the top of the page 4 to create random arguments and silly accusations. I just wanted to note that fast units, if the EB team thinks so, should be made sure to be given the fast_moving attribute when the time comes....so that there is more variety of uses for units, or more differences in how they're used. I meant only the best intentions to note something and try to improve upon something that was perhaps missing in EB1.

While I don't share micko's general tone, I basically agree with his points. I don't think any of the recent posts (i.e., on page 4) of this thread have been insulting toward the EB team. I understand that as a team member, it's probably very easy to think of the mod sort of like your child, and as such be very protective of it and easily hurt by any criticism of it, but I don't think anyone here feels that the mod is seriously flawed or lacking in quality. It is, bar none, the greatest mod I've ever played, and I absolutely love it. And we're all eagerly anticipating EB2's release and enjoy talking about it. So no team member should have their feelings hurt by some fans discussing their ideas with each other. Not every thought expressed on these forums is necessarily directed at the team. If a few people want to debate how they think two units ought to compare, that shouldn't offend someone who actually is on the team. We're not trying to say, "Hey, EB guys, this is how you ought to have done it!" We're just tossing our ideas around, as much to each other as to anyone on the team. Don't take anybody's thoughts about the mod personally.

And as for the Bart Simpson picture, that was just funny. Nothing more, nothing less.

Wow, this has suddenly turned into a thread that I really don't want to read anymore. I think that some of what people are saying is coming close to stepping over the line from being critical to being insulting. Sometimes, I really really do not like reading these forums. Its so very easy to criticise, and its so very easy to judge and, in doing so, upset. It is a lot harder to work in a volunteer team to create something complex and, dare I say, it beautiful with dozens of conflicting characters all attempting to work with each other. There have been a plethora of these statting threads and they have invariably attacked and insulted the team - the condensed versions is "oh look, there are some apparent inconsistencies. EB must be a bunch of morons for doing that. i can do it much better, here is my work that i did and is so much better because i know why i did it". I find the tone of these posts hateful and their insinuations of the team hurtful.

For people who quite obviously get so much enjoyment from the mod, it seems that some of you have no sense of respect for those who brought it to you. The EB Team have invariably put their life on hold to work on this mod, I know I have, and to have the work of the fine people that I have known disparaged in such a fashion as I find in this thread and in others is not something that I wish to continue engaging in. Insult away, you fixers of things broken, I hope that your mods are as successfully balanced as you wish them to be. However, this is a suggestion thread for EBII, and as the statting system in M2TW cannot be assumed to work in any fashion close enough to that of RTW to make connections, I would suggest that you move discussion about EBI stats to the EBI forums.

Maybe you should just quit working on the mod if it's too much trouble? I don't read every post on these forums, but nevertheless I haven't seen a single post, which I'd count as insulting towards the creators of the mod. Most love it and simply worship you and the rest of the team. I bet every person here is ready name their children after you, and the only purpose of the criticism in this thread is the desire to make something they love even better.

PS. I love the mod and hope it will be finished. I also hope that I will one day have many little Feet. (insert smiley here)

You are such a tease, you know.
