Europa Barbarorum - mod for RTW

[_MB_]

I could never get into this mod. Loved the premise but the last time I tried it (admittedly about 6 months ago) it had somehow made gameplay awkward, clunky. RTR looks nicer but I appreciate isn't as ambitious as EB.

About auto resolving - very important.

For those who play on VH/VH (my default setting ) auto-resolving is a no-no. You can lose it even with 1000 soldiers over the enemy. So watch it. Unless you have super experienced troops, equal numbers will result in a disaster.

wow, this looks really impressive, I'm gonna have to try it out

When did you move to houston manstein?

 

[Helmi]

I didn't say I didn't like it, I just wanted to make sure it was working properly

And I certainly didn't read your post that way, either.

In fact, I gathered you'd like the slower pace just as I do, simply because the vannilla battles are much too fast

Anyone got a favourite faction?

 

[Folgore]

Mine is definately Arche Seleukeia. Both because of it's interesting history and because of the cool units. (Thorakitai Argyraspidai and Hellenikoi Kataphraktoi for example ) Though their position on the campaign map is quite hard, as you are bordering half the factions in the game from the start.

My second favourite faction is Karthadastim.

 

[Eddyz Aquila]

Ptolemaioi for me.
And Getai of course.

 

[Manstein]

I only have a game going as Rome at the moment, I don't have much time to play.

So far Im following a campaign strangely remiscent of real history. Right now fighting in Spain and in Africa. I've got a Sweboz horde moving in on Patavium but so far they are far away. And christ the Seleucids have taken most of the East. They nearly wiped out the Ptolemai I think they have one city left.

So where can I download it? The official links do not work and I can't find any other.

 

[Burns]

Search the gaming sites like Filefront or Fileplanet. There MAY be uploads there.

Go there, to the Europa Barbarorum section. Check the sticky threads around there and you shall find more download links.

I wonder, will there be an Camillan/Polybian Roman standard bearer? Seeing the legionary stardard bearer just doesnt fit in right at the moment.

Ooo, an EB developer... I'm one of the RTR forum leaders. *sparks*

I have EB and RTR and EB's current version (whatever you're on now) simply crushes RTR 6.0 Gold, I'm hoping that RTR 7.0 puts up somewhat stiffer competition.

 

[Eddyz Aquila]

Wow, the first compliment of EB from an RTR forum leader. This is news.
Well, I do wait for RTR 7.0. I want competition.

 

[Comrade Wasabi]

The negativity between the teams is the product of membership, not leadership... at least, that's what I'd like to believe. I try to make sure that the anti-EB sentiment is kept firmly out of our forums.

auto_win attacker and auto_win defender are your friends. I am in a romani campaign and I use them a lot for battles I know I can win but can't be arsed to play on the field *yet again*. I'm in year 160 (yeah, that means 460 turns + ) and can't be arsed fighting the 2 or 3 battles a turn against Averni around Emporion, Massalia or Cisalpin Gaul that I know I would win (my garrisons there, though mostly local auxilia, are big and with gold experience...)
