    Sticky: Re: EB v1.3 - EB v1.31a Alex released!

    ALL HAIL ROMAIOKTONOI!!! Sacking Barbaropolis never gets old.
  2. You know you're playing too much EBII when...

    ...you add Sharp/Charismatic/Vigorous to your CVs. :crandar:
  3. Re: "Time to make greek factions a bit more different..."

    Perhaps the updated research reflected in EB2 may or may not have had a direct or indirect influence or inspiration....
  4. Re: Lost my saves, anyone have a historical progression Romani save with Polybian or Marian reforms achieved?

    It's not entirely for naught. ;)

    ...yes, it's 2.2b
  5. Re: CTD when opening and closing unit descriptions

    Thanks, I did have a feeling that it may be a memory leak....
  6. CTD when opening and closing unit descriptions

    I seem to consistently get this crash every so often. Been clocking up to 120+ hours already.

    I run on Win 10 btw.
  7. Re: [The interminable debate] Overhand v underhand spear usage

    It's more than ten years since EB 1, yet this topic is still popping up. What happen to the agreement "I shall read more history" during installation?

    Poll: Re: Marian Madness?

    You, sir, are speaking the words of a true Rhomaioktonos. Hai, Getai, Saba and the Hellenes needs more attention before the romaioi barbaroi needs any.

    Re: unfair cost and stats

    still nothing
  11. Re: Did the Greeks have any equivalent to the Roman legions?

    The biggest advantage Romans have against the hellenistic armies isn't the quality of their troops, nor their tactics. It is their seemingly limitless numbers, compared to what the Greeks could...
  12. Re: How did romans deal with the composite bow?

    It entirely dependent on which time period specifically. However Romans dealt with "barbarian" problems in a rather straight forward manner; they either throw money at the problem, failing that, they...

    Re: [PREVIEW] - The Romans

    Not that late, LS has been around since 9 BC. The troops hated it, of course, being a cheap stop gap armour with protection between that of hamata and squamata; they ditched it whenever possible for...

    Re: Feedback, Suggestions, Critiques & Requests

    Yale, you're gonna need far, far more than saying "go read a book" to have a valid argument with an EB member. They've spent months and years researching (raiding university libraries), verifying...

    Re: Pikemen Armour Piercing

    Re: Spears and sheildwalls

    I'm at work atm so I'll be brief.

    I've had it.
    I've lurked long enough and have read too many threads about overarm vs underarms arguments. Every few months after one thread ends with either people being educated, or simply gone...
