Thoughts on EB?

**nuada** · December 28, 2005, 03:02 PM

Top o the mornin to ye all !
Out of curiosty and with the knowledge that SPQR and EB have certain connections

I just downloaded the beta for EB. The traits and map changes look great, the barbarian skins are very nice, and I love the new models. I read alot of complaints about load times, but if you ask me the world has got itself in an awful hurry

The mod looks interesting but.... I hate the roman skins !! I felt a little uncomfortable playing EB, like I did when I tried RTR. I played it for a little while and went straight back to SPQR. I guess that makes me an LT groupie

I cant wait for the new version of SPQR

gime gime gime lol Respect to all the modders out there

but I still like SPQR the most.
thanks for a great mod Mr. LT1956 gach maith duit Oh ! and MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR !

"LT"? "EB"?

Lt1956, usually simplified to ''Lt'' is the creator of SPQR. EB stands for Europa Barbarorum, another mod for RTW.

Nuada, have you only played battles in the campaign? The Camillian infantry might seem a bit strange at first but these are soon replaced by Polybian infantry who look a lot better. After the Polybian infantry comes the Post-Marian infantry and after that the Imperial infantry. Don't let the skins be a reason to stop you from playing a mod that goes way deeper than any other mod. SPQR is great yes, lots of fighting, huge armies, but you will not find the incredible depth that has been added to RTW with EB. Just play a little longer and try to get the hang of it and you'll be stunned with what they've done.

The depth of EB is simply amazing. The trait system for people, the new government system, all of it rocks, especially the economics.

Thats all true but it just doesn't fit my style of play. I like quicker paced/tuff campaigns but still having good skins and SPQR is the perfect mod. EB can get quite boring waiting 20 turns for normal buildings.

Both EB and SPQR give a good account of themselves!

Happy new year !

On your recommendation Homi, I will give the campaign a little more time, it is difficult when I enjoy SPQR so much

Apologies I should not judge a mod so quickly. I know the lads put a lot of work into it, respect

I hope it will not be another imbalance of depth or realism versus game play ! I tried a few custom battles and I still prefer the SPQR Skins and the battle game play.

Revan, Gach maith duit = may all good befall you
