EB Help Required Thread

[Bouchious]

Welcome Europa Barbarorum Fans!

Firstly I would like to introduce myself;
I am Bouchious, duely volunteered as the EB welcoming recruitment man. This thread is aimed as a place for fans and talent alike to see what positions are available and wanting with the EB group. Don't be put off though if the job or thing you thought you could help us with isn't there. Contact me anyway; EB is always happy to see people showing interest and offering help, and perhaps you never know, the job you wanted may be available!

Currently, the positions EB are looking to fill are:-
-Skinners- This folks is self explanatory isn't it, We need some who can skin, as always some who can put in the hours so to speak, Work fast and keep a high level of activity.

-A person/persons to make new resource icons for the map. - We are looking for someone familiar with 3D modelling and texturing to do low-detail work on resource icons. Other work will come on a when-needed basis; as usual members who can be highly active an ebthusiastic are wanted.

- Reseachers/Descriptive writers - Many descriptions have now been writen from scratch within EB, but that does not mean they are all there. We require someone who can research and produce building descriptions at a good pace. Access to sources/libaries are always good and healthy athough not essential as a person can always have their knowledge to fall back on! People with an interest or those who are knowledgable towards Armenia, Carthage, Pontos And the Getai are most welcome. As is the norm, the person will have to be active and show enthusiasm.

- As Above - We are in need of members with extensive knowledge of Parthia, Armenia and/or Pontos desparately, To do a job similar to the one above; Descriptions for units and buildings would be done. Knowledge is the key requirement, and as always high activity and enthusiasm are needed. Nayone who is interested please contact me ASAP.

- 3D Building Co-ordinator - We are in need of someone who is familiar with the text files surrounding building placement etc in cities/ on battlemap. This person we need to be able to implement and co=ordinate 3D building work. As per usual high activity and enthusiasm are welcomed openly.

See something you are interested in? Perhaps not? Get in contact if you are interested; Firstly you may wish to just use PM's to get in contact, or you may prefer a more direct approach although not always quicker, email me at bouchious@europabarbarorum.com.

I eagerly await any signs of interest and hopefully many new potential members. -Lu

Hail Bouchious!!

hey bouchious. i can't really help with anything but i have an idea that others may be able to do to help y'all. i noticed earlier that some EB members had purchased domains in order to create an EB webpage when you's had the time. well, seeing as you are all so busy with the OB and such, why not get someone else to prepare a webpage, or at least start to. of course this is just an idea, and unfortunately i have not the skills to do such a thing, so i feel rather silly suggesting it, but it was just an idea i had and i thought i would put it out there.

cheers

EDIT: i just realised you added researcher to the list of positions that need filling. i am an avid history fan and would be more than willing to help with this. i am currently studying both ancient and modern history and so i am quite accustomed to researching and the skills associated with it.

In the future these listings will be fleshed out. By researcher/writer we mean someone who will take a list of buildings, for instance, for a particular faction, and research how these buildings would have been used by that faction in antiquity, and write descriptions for each building. The person should be highly active, proactive really, and be willing to put some time into it.

So, we'll need someone with time, a reasonably good grasp of the English language, and the committment to join the team and continue to write descriptions rather that write one, download the mod, and then disappear, as some of our recent new members have done.

Problem is Khelvan, how do you seperate those "one-day-flies" from truely dedicated members?

If I had time, I would apply, but alas, university is very time-consuming. Damn Law Bachelor ... *continues mumbling*

[Solar]

ah, yes, same here. I'm graduating this year, so I'll be in enough trouble making 3d models and textures of my own for my final work.

[Bouchious]

we weed out the one-time-one-download-one-what-the-hell-happend-to? people with long boring monotonous incredibly difficult 'prep' task before they are even members. Let It Be A Warning To You All!!!! Only messing... there not that boring

[Equilibrium]

I'd like to apply as a description writer, if you still need someone. I'm one of the two project leaders of the German Translation Mod for RTR and also the lead translator in that team, so working with the unit descriptions is quite familiar for me. I was always interested in history and am playing vanilla Rome and RTR for a long time; I followed your project since it was started and played the beta since it came out, I'd really like to help you.

I've send you a pm.

@ James

what kind of stuff will you be able to help us with? Do you have a lot of time? Do you have some modding capabilities?

Currently the positions EB are looking to fill are:

-Description writers: Many descriptions are written from scratch within EB. But that doesn't mean they're all there.
We require people who can research and produce builing description at agood place. Acces to sources/libraries arealways
good and healthy athough not essential as a person can always have their knowledge to fall back on! People with an interest
or those who are knowledgable towards Armenia(!!!), Carthage, Pontos And the Getai are most welcome. As is the norm,
the person will have to be active and show enthusiasm.

- Researchers: We are in need of members with extensive knowledge of Parthia, Armenia (!!!) and/or Pontos desparately,
To do a job similar to the one above; Descriptions for units and buildings would be done. Knowledge is the key requirement,
and as always high activity and enthusiasm are needed. Nayone who is interested please contact me ASAP.

- 3D Building Co-ordinator - We are in need of someone who is familiar with the text files surrounding building placement
etc in cities/ on battlemap. This person we need to be able to implement and co=ordinate 3D building work.
As per usual high activity and enthusiasm are welcomed openly.

-Text editor: As you know we have not only changed the game's graphics, gameplay and buildings and units but we've also added a lot of texts: like building descriptions, historical informations about factions, trait descriptions, ancillary descriptions and much more. Now ofcourse there also grammar and spelling errors in it (just like this post ).
Therefor we're still looking for people with decent grammar skills who can help us to correct these. Kull and Blacksnail
have been hard at work but they still could use another hand. If you would like an example of the work you'd be doing you can have a look here:

-We also have room for more skinners/modellers or people with other modding capabilities.

See something you are interested in? Perhaps not? Get in contact if you are interested. You can post here, pm me or send me a mail (if you
send an e-mail it may take longer untill I reply). My e-mail is gert.gregoor@skynet.be

Thanks for showing your intrest, the whole EB team really appreciate it.

Yo, I'm a Celtic Studies major at UC-Berkeley. I've noticed a few minor errors in the Gaulish and British unit and building descriptions, inaddition to a few questionable choices for names. If you'd like me to fact check stuff on the Celtic factions or help with any corrections I'd be glad to help.
