So after I bad mouthed the EB team in another thread for taking their sweet time on a sequel to their first mod, I made my biannual pilgrimage to the Europa Barbarorum forums to see if there was any news on Sweboz javelineer skin 4b. Lo and behold, they have apparently just announced that the alpha version of their mod will be released in a few months.

Salvete, cives Europae Barbarorum!

Today we have an incredibly exciting announcement to make: We are close to making an alpha release of our mod.

Europa Barbarorum II is a modification for the Medieval II: Total War expansion pack Kingdoms. Its setting is the Hellenistic world of 272 BC. Our goal is to make one of the most immerse and historically accurate experiences possible for players. For several years now, we have been working toward a first release and we are almost there.

What to expect?

EBII has been a long time coming. Everyone on the team knows that there will be very high expectations for it. We do hope this will be a great experience for those players; however, it should be known that this will be a very unpolished release. The effort required to modify M2:TW compared to Rome: TW is exponentially higher. This, combined with a relatively small pool of manpower, high member turnover and real life, has meant that completing the modification has taken much longer than any of us anticipated. This is especially true when taking into consideration the team's high standard of historical accuracy.

To that end, the team does plan to have all current factions playable in regards to units, recruitment, and governments. By no means will even these be final and there may be several placeholder descriptions and models. We do not intend to give a firm release date as we cannot guarantee that something catastrophic won't happen; however, we are pushing hard to make it soon.

Did not see that coming! Cheap assholes like me can now start to consider upgrading our video cards.

Wow, I forgot that this was still a thing. Can't believe that a release might be coming.

I remember when I first heard about this mod, my computer couldn't even play Medieval II: Total War.

Just add to this the naval combat mod, and it will be definitely better than Rome II.
