    Default Where is the EB2 community concentrated?

    I’ve been enjoying the mod a lot, and one thing I like to do is read discussions and stories from other players when I can’t play - like at work for example.

    Unfortunately this forum seems pretty slow these days. Is there an alternate forum/reddit/Discord where most people still hang out, or has the EB community just become so small?

    a discord would be a good idea. Most players have it these days and its very easy to use... dont even need to download it since it has a browser version


    I know a lot of people would rather not mix personal information as in facebook with random people or gamer groups.


    Discord would even make it easy to set up multiplayer matches, or hotseat campaigns.
    Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

    I like forums though.

    With Discord you can only have one discussion at a time, and it’s difficult to read back in time. Forums work better for a community like this where you can have dozens of threads going at once. But I guess the kids these days don’t like it!

    Discord is simply IRC with better graphics.

    I guess most of us are mostly lurkers this days.
    Though in my case I've been mostly one since EB1 v0.8x ir something like that. I'm more of a reader than a writer.
    I do really enjoy reading more about Eb2, from the devs and from other players and after all this years I Still have a lot to learn about the mod! That's what I love most about it!

    The largest (English) EBII community seems to be here. There's another at TheOrg, but it's been VERY dead for a while. There are still some lurkers who roam there though.

    Yep, this is the most active community.

    Since this is the "community". What you guys think about the Ancient Empire mod for Atilla? Better than EBII or just different?

    It's a mod with a different goal (gameplay first), and a different game engine - so the differences are significant. In general it has a wider appeal because it is less restrictive (ex. you can have an army full of elites) and the platform is more modern (many people can't stand playing old TW games, it's hard to get used to after warscape). For me, things like a lack of a manpower system really break my immersion. So in this case i value more the atmosphere and attention to historical details, than the gameplay benefits, which is why i play EB2.

    Just different, you really cant compare Medieval 2 to Rome 2 they both have their advantages and disadvantages. It kind of a cop out answer but I play both they are both extremely entertaining mods that are made by very talented and committed creators.

    Discord would be nice. For the living community.

    I keep in contact with my EBII comrades via pigeon flight. Let me know if you'd like the address of my local roost.
