    No time to come back on the team, working a lot. BUT I have now had the opportunity to play EB2, lots of CTDs is a bit annoying, but whoever made the AI (I forgot), did the best job I have seen. It is impressive, even more so than the various TATW derivates.

    Diplomacy AI still suck (PWNed realms not willing to negotiate peace), but the strat and battlefield AI are really damn good.

    Hey Mac, since you're from the region, maybe you could check out the (short) geography section I've written for the province description of Ingwingoz (the province containing Jutland etc.), see if there are factual errors or glaring omissions. It's on the Org, here.

    The sinews upon which EBII runs are the people who give up their time to contribute directly to the mod in various ways. We need fairly regular transfusions of fresh blood to maintain the momentum and stop too much of the work falling on a few members of the team. We need new talent in four areas:


    2D skinning - we have more modellers than skinners in the team, if you have talents with PhotoShop, GIMP, Blender or anything else that works with 3D modelling, we'd like to hear from you.

    Trait scripters - there is a huge amount of work still to do in the EDCT. All you need to be able to do is use Notepad++ and be rigorous in your work, with a desire to learn how to do traits. Everything else you can learn as you go, that's how most people get into the coding side of things anyway.

    Community Manager - we need someone to take on the job of managing our public-facing presence. That means the Facebook and Twitter feeds, but also moddb, TWC and The Org's respective fora. You'd be responding to people's queries and reporting back feedback and bugs people have to the team. You'd potentially take over doing things like this - making announcements.

    Playtesters - we've used up most of our current crop of playtesters - invariably if they stick around they take an interest in a particular area of modding and join the team doing that. It's our feeder for people in the non-historical, non-artistic area. We have both campaign- and battle-testing that needs willing people to spend time on the development build. A subset of this grouping are proofreaders.


    Process is the same for any of these roles if you're interested: first notify us of your interest either in this thread or via PM. If you have any relevant work to share, examples of doing any of the above, that's even better. Someone will get in touch and get you into the Campus Martius, which is a sort of probationary area of our internal forum.

    I've been following EB since version 1.0 came out, over 10 years ago. I wasn't able to help then (honestly, I could barely figure out how to install the game), but I've got a fair bit of coding experience now and lots of free time. I think I can be of help as a trait scripter, so please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. This is such a great project that has interested me for such a long time and I'd really love to give back.

    Hello, I can help with playtesting.
    Also, I can translate sources from Italian and Russian if you ever need something like that.

    I want to help you as a community manager. I won't be the most available person in the world but right now I feel that EBII needs to be a bit more active about news to make the fans interested.
    I also can help translating spanish and portuguese articles/books if you need that.

    I'd like to volunteer as a playtester, community manager and writer + historical and/or linguistics researcher in general. As of now I can devote approximately 80-90% of my time to helping the team considering how university will only commence in August for me, during of which I will likewise have considerable free time since the first year will not place significant academic stress on me. Also willing to look out for grammatical or typographical errors in the game-- in fact I've already spotted some while reading the campaign descriptions.

    I've played EB1 since 2009/2010, as far as I can recall. Spent several hours playing as each faction.

    Native English speaker; My talents lay primarily in creative writing, although I also have a moderate understanding of how coding works. Always willing to learn and figure things out.

    For linguistics and history I have a devout interest in the proto-Baltic cultures/languages (which would in turn correlate with the Lougiones faction in EB2), as such I'd like to help with further fleshing that faction out.

    Also fluent in Chinese; if any historical refinements are needed to the Saka Rauka faction or the Silk Road region in general (so as to simulate off-map factors), again glad to help out with doing research.

    Many thanks to the EB team for having worked so much on this so far

    Hello, I am a long-time fan of EB/EB2 and am interested in contributing. I have training and practice in real world map making using GIS technologies. I love how EB2 focuses on historical accuracy and I would like to assist in making EB2 as geographically accurate as possible.

    Most or all people use Geomod to create maps for M2TW, but I have a new strategy. I will create all necessary M2TW map files using GIS mapping software then import them into Geomod for spot corrections. By using GIS, I will minimize the potential for geographic errors created by drawing maps by hand. All map features (settlements, coastlines, rivers, rasters, etc.) will be placed to match their real Latitude and Longitude coordinates.

    I have found several different resources for creating a map that is accurate to how the world would have looked like in the year 272BC. These range from coastlines, rivers, lakes, swamps, flooding areas, and more. Settlements can also be placed accurately using GPS according to the sites actual or theoretical location. Two such resources are the Ancient World Mapping Center as well as the Pleiades Project (they are major contributors of the “Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World” and offer free access to their maps resources).

    The real advantage of using this method is you can define your own map projection. All maps face some kind of distortion, but when you define your own projection you are able to control what dimensions will be distorted and what areas are more accurate. For example, currently the Sahara Desert takes up a large chunk of the map. What if you could decrease the space taken up by the Sahara and increase the overall map scale, or even expand the map to show more of India, Tarim Basin, or Ethiopia?

    As creating the new map, I will have to make a new province map. I am sure that since the last map was made there have been some new ideas about how to divide the land up between provinces. This would be an opportunity for the EB2 team to update the existing provinces or even create new provinces.

    Never the less, this will be a big job and I don’t want to waste time if the team isn’t interested in using a new map. But, if the team is interested I would be happy to make a new map according to the method that I have described. I will work with the team to accomplish their goals and explore new ideas and possibilities.

    Send me a PM and let me know what you guys think. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hello QS. Long time fan of the EB games, Id like to volunteer as a playtester since I can commit to playtest the game every other day for one hour. Also Once my summer semester is done in August I may be able to commit further and apply myself to the traits. Ill have more time and Id be pleased that I can contribute to one of my favorite games till completion.

    Hello Europa Barbarorum team. I want to start by saying thank you for such a great mod. All of you should be very proud of what you have done. I have been playing since version 2.0 and each version is a great improvement over older ones! I am wondering if I can assist you? I am a doctoral student at Sveučilište u Zagrebu, specialising in cultures of the early Iron Age in Croatia and neighouring countries. Because of your work I have started to widen my research to also include late Iron Age cultures. From playing I have noticed that there are some errors in how the Illyrians and Balkans are depicted and wanted to help correct these. Please let me know if I can help.

    Hello all! It's been quite a long time since I came here. Glad I'm back though.

    I'm still working on regional descriptions, as some of you may know. Very, very slowly: I'm abysmally slow in writing pieces of text.

    However, I do have some experience with the EDCT, as I studied it some months ago. From this to saying I'm an experienced modder there's a big difference, but a bit of variation in my tasks would be gleefully welcome: I'd like to help as a traiter.
    I have almost no difficulty in learning the syntax of a programming language. I studied C++ at the university and had to learn by myself Python, html5 and Matlab. I'm also kind of an expert in LaTeX: if the idea of writing a guide for traits and triggers is still in the air I can work on that too in the future, taking advantage of the awesome typographical features provided by LaTeX.

    I'm always willing to learn, whenever I'm challenged by something new and unknown I double my efforts to overcome all the issues, and I'd like to actively work in order to improve EB as much as my capabilities allow me to do so.

    Well, it took me a fair bit of courage to finally write my application. Your knowledge is intimidating, guys. But I've no problems in learning on-the-fly, so if you think I can be of some use do not hesitate to contact me.

    Cheers!

    Hello everybody,

    I've heard that you have some work to do with the Trait and Ancillary system.

    I don't have much time to do in-game testing, but if can be of any help, I'd like to contribute with a tool to edit and explore the Traits file.
    I've been working on it in the spare time, but I have already set up a good start.

    The goal is a tool to explore the traits, edit them, check for errors, query various dependencies and relations between the traits.
    But as I develop this, I'd like to hear from you which features would be most helpful to have.

    The slowest part is writing the GUI, since I am used to work with command line only. But I'm slowly cranking that up.

    Here is the repository, anyone is free to contribute as well

    I hope it may speed up the development of this great mod

    I would like to offer my services as a Trait Scripter and/or Playtester. I promise consistent weekly results in these areas. Maybe 5 new traits a week, if that's what you're looking for.
    "Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."

    I would like to volunteer as a play tester. I've play tested quite a few mods, from other Total War mods to Arma Overhauls, to Squad, and have no problem doing the same thing over and over and over again to find what's broken. I've got quite a bit of time and experience with actual playtesting, even the boring bits!

    I believe in this project, and love what your doing to spread history to a wider scale, and would love to volunteer both my time and services.
