    *Introduction*
    Prepare to Amaze yourself at the Monumental-Glory of "Homo-Gigantus" (Superior-Hominin: “Older, Better, Smarter, Stronger”). Who "Mann" is "He" you may ask? "His" name is an combined "abbreviation" of Gigas + Mantus, which as you 90s folks naturally will know from playing Super-SNES is a Earthbound IIII reference. A Pillar of the "Community", our "Community", this "Community". 2000s Legends has it, he's been beta-testing TW since version 1.12, has every game-manual sitting at his philosopher-Library, even possesses the prophetic developer-guide how-to-play lost-book on how to become SHOGUN.

    *The "G-man" is an "Ancient-Alien" & "Sacred-Light" to the "Community".*
    As Ye-Olde like that of the Jewish Menorah Gold-Relic. Which as you may know from your local Bagel-making Rabbi, was stolen by those "Butt-Marrs" worshipping Romanskis, then by the Vandalistic Germanen. Eventually it would be rightfully taken back from the "Damn-Dirty-Barbarians", held by the Paws of the Byzantine Gyrno-eaters under the Command of "Great-Generale Belisarius the Coocked" {Historically-Accurate Trait}.

    --D.Y.K. Fun Factoid--
    The Masala-making Great-Guru {XLahimaX} "Gi Gan Tus" A.K.A. "Coloss Rhod Heli" was shotgun-married to a literal stonehearted Sino-French Lady. A blueblooded American New-Yorker, her real-life epithet-name is "Li Ber Ti", no doubt a indirect-descendant of "Latter-Tang Royalty" and "French Haute-Cuisine".

    *Commentary*
    "EBI" was such a Hardcore-Revolutionary "Community" of Nerdster-Modification, it had it's own Flex-Website, and it even works Underwater! The Gallery has some really great & cool positioned imagery, 2005-ish is still surprisingly of better-quality than the large percentage of those wonky-screenshots (Phone-captured) we have today in top-voted Reddit.

    I really advocate checking the website "RomanArmyTalk" out {still exists just as the "Annals of Historia"}, although I do not recommend Tacitus though: the thread of his works are not clear on the Eyeball-regions!

    *Ending*
    Europa Barbarorum is not solely focused on barbarian factions. The name was derived from the roots of the project when our desire was to portray barbarians more accurately, but Europa Barbarorum goes to great lengths to portray all factions correctly, including Rome. The Europa Barbarorum project started in January 2004 as a team with the intent of informing The Creative Assembly about the historical nature of the "barbarian" factions in Rome: Total War.
    +
    Our aim was to gather as large an amount of historical information as we could and pass it on to the "Creative Assembly", prior to R:TW's release, in order for their portrayal of the "barbarian" factions in the game to be more accurate. Later, the team expanded their aim to also correcting ahistorical representations everywhere on the map. As it became clear that CA would not use this sort of information, the group decided to transform the project into a modification.
    +
    {Can someone perhaps give me details on the development on this, was this meant to be a sort of fan-project expansion/DLC?, would really like some more info on this. This seems to be the only mod that ambitiously contain large-scale voice-acting and really large global team of professional-Historians}

    Well, you, Gigantus, may feel safe in Sokutra in EBII but in Broken Crescent it may be conquered (and I've done it playing Makuria), so you would need to get relocated to Taprobane or Chersonesos Aurea.

    It felt like a cozy, out of the way, spot. That's my 'proof of concept' for a playable horde btw.

    Hopefully, there'll still be some trees for you to find it a cosy spot.
